Today, those allegations also involve student athletes. Today the Cheltenham School district confirmed allegations involving the Boys Soccer Team dating back to september. Youll recall last week we told you about central bucks west suspending the rest of its football season over hazing allegations there. Lu ann cahn is live in doylestown where a meeting will be happening in just a couple of hours from now on the bucks county case. Lu ann . We spoke to the bucks County District attorney a little while ago. He says he met with the cb west football parents behind closed doors last night. He does not believe theyre going to be any charges connected to the hazing incident but he is asking parents in this program, right now, to report anything that they believe amounts to hazing. I want to make sure that were not missing any conduct that would be worthy of criminal prosecution. The bucks County DistrictAttorney Says even the most disturbing of the hazing incidents on the central bucks west Football Team dont rise to the level of a crime. The superintendent canceled the rest of the teams season after learning seniors forced rookie players to touch the private parts of others while clothed and there was a shower incident. For instance, the socalled waterboarding involved children having towels or wash cloths put over their faces and then being taken under the shower. If you do that long enough, if you hold the kids head right under the shower and they start aspirating water, that could be very serious. Doesnt appear from the investigation that has been done so far, that that degree of conduct occurred. Reporter but if parents believe their childs physical health or safety was involved or there was inappropriate mental stress or embarrassment, the District Attorney wants it to be reported. Meanwhile, in cheltenham township today, School Officials released a statement saying they investigated a hazing incident on september 23rd involving the Boys Soccer Team. The investigation revealed a practice of players using a hazing technique known as ripping. Which is forceful pulling and tearing of the victims underwear to the point where it rips and allows the victim to be dangled by their underwear. The Cheltenham School district says it thoroughly investigated the incident. They reported it to police. They say they already had taken appropriate action and they are retraining students and staff. Meanwhile, the meeting here at cb west at 7 00 starts after 7 00, the superintendent is expected to outline everything that happened in the hazing incident and the action taken.

Comments made just about an hour ago, president Barack Obama Says the United States cant be seen as shying away from the battle against ebola. He didnt address the specific policies put in place in new york and new jersey but he did say the response to ebola needs to be sensible while supporting Health Care Workers. Meanwhile, a Top AdministrationHealth Official is defending u. S. Policy on ebola in the wake of criticism about conflicting federal and state rules. Dr. Anthony fauci, National Institutes of health said local officials are within their legal rights to impose more restrictions on people who have possibly been infected. This all comes as a second dallas nurse infected with ebola was released today. Amber vinson was diagnosed after caring for a liberian man who died from the virus. Today she walked out of an atlanta hospital. As a nurse and now as someone who has experienced what its like to be cared for through a lifethreatening illness, i am so appreciative and grateful for your exceptional skill, warmth and care. Vinson went on to hug the doctors and nurses who have been caring for her these past few weeks. Now, the nurse who was held over the weekend against her will at University Hospital in newark is back in maine where shes under quarantine at home. Casi hickox volunteered in west africa. She became the first person forced into new jerseys mandatory 21day quarantine for medical workers returning from west africa. Governor christie defended his controversial policy on the today show this morning. I cant imagine anyone would find it to be an experience they were looking for to have to spend three days in a hospital. I understand that. But the fact is, she presented at the airport as someone who had contact, direct ccontact, with folks infected with the ebola virus and then she became symptomatic. Hickox was released yesterday after having to be found free of ebola symptoms for 24 hours. With the release of amber vinson, that leaves one known positive ebola case in the u. S. That doctor who worked in west africa remains in a new york city hospital. Theres been one known ebola death on u. S. Soil, thomas eric duncan, who died earlier this month. Today one International Organization said at least 5,000 more Health Care Workers are needed in west africa. So that they can effectively combat the epidemic there.

People dont see it that way. We try to educate people when they call the chamber. Whereabouts is this problem and so forth. Once they hear the poconos, generalizing it could be anywhere in the poconos.
