Coogan says one of her first projects was in bethlehem. We had three faiths working together there and also an israeli, a miner and a palestinian. And together they detonated those anti tank mines, antipersonnel land mines where eight children had died. Roots of peace will receive a 250,000 award from the world food prize. An airbnb host says it will take thousands of dollars to repair damage after guests accidental accidentally flooded the bathroom and then just checked out the clock is ticking for her to get help. And on top of all of it all, the owner is pregnant and due any day now. Abc seven News Reporter suzanne fawn is in the newsroom with this story. Suzanne so, karina, julian, the airbnb host, says this has been a nightmare. A toilet clogged by baby wipes led to sewer water overflowing, damaging the airbnb unit and the unit downstairs where the host lived. Now, for the past six months, the host and her family have had to find somewhere else to live. No repairs have been made and the damages and the costs have not been resolved. So this is the toilet that caused the damage. You can still see the baby wipe. Its hard to believe that a clogged and broken toilet could have caused so much damage. It was the toilet that had been broken and running over for 15 plus hours. Erica gimsa and her husband, who are expecting their first child any day now, were forced to move out of their home in the Mission District six months ago. Their house is still unfixed. There was no kitchen, no bathrooms that could be usable. Gemser is an airbnb host, a march 15th for guests signed on to stay at her upstairs unit in the Mission District for a month. They had actually left the evening of april 13th, presumably right before or right after this clog started. Gemser lived in the unit directly downstairs. She didnt see any red flags until it was too late. Water coming from every crevice, opening, every light fixture. Gensler immediately called airbnb, who then told her to get a full estimate and receipts for the repairs to her home. She says the extent of the damage made it impact possible. To get a quick assessment. I tried to explain this to airbnb like this is not a this is not a broken door. This isnt furniture. Gemser says it took weeks for airbnbs investigative plumber to arrive and determine the cause of the clogged toilet. Three of those things happening. Its the feces. Its the baby wipes that they probably use. The entire 30 days that they were there. And the trying to relieve the clog by messing with the tank. Gemser estimates that the damages and the losses add up to about 300,000. She says shes disappointed by airbnbs coverage policy for hosts. They advertise it as the 3 million host protection guarantee. So the idea is, as a host, weve got you covered top to bottom with 3 million of coverage. So dont worry. We got you. Turns out 90 of that is not covered. So theyve given me an offer of around 31,000. Gemser believes she was fully covered between airbnb host coverage and her own Homeowners Insurance. Turns out thats not the case. So for people who are thinking about being hosts, look into all the different insurance you can buy, buy all of it, buy all of it. We reached out to airbnb and are still waiting to hear back. In the meantime, gemser says she is not accepting that 31,000 offer by airbnb. She says Homeowners Insurance has been a big help, but it doesnt cover everything like the loss of income. The family will be out of their unit for a year. They cant have tenants and they cant have rental income, live in the newsroom, suzanne phon, abc seven news. Okay. Thank you so much, suzanne. A tentative agreement today between teachers at the San FranciscoUnified School District will avert a possible strike. The two sides have been negotiating since march. Abc7 News Reporter luis pena has a closer look at the deal after more than 12 hours, San Francisco teachers and the School District reached. We have a deal. A tentative deal. But to get here, both sides began bargaining sessions at 5 p. M. Thursday that extended all the way into friday morning. Geoffrey finger, a math teacher at balboa high school, was part of the Bargaining Committee when we met him. He had only gotten 30 minutes of sleep. Were proud of what we were able to accomplish with this tentative agreement. Were hoping that the union rallies around it. Among the proposal was an economic package that includes a 9,000 Salary Increase for teachers in the 2023 to 2024 school year. Teachers will also receive an additional 5 raise for the 2024, 2025 school year, which will be in full effect by january of 2025. Initially the united educators of San Francisco were asking for more. We came in initially asking for 12,000 for the first year and 8. And again, that those might sound like large numbers, but those numbers are very much in par with, frankly, what has been 20 inflation over the last three years. The tentative agreement includes Worker Protections and higher compensation for paramedics, doctors. They have been paid historic low amounts in some in many cases, amounts that that would frankly lead them to go to other other jobs. This raised the floor from 18 an hour for them all the way up to 30 an hour. Now, whats next . Well, there will be several town halls where teachers will get to ask questions. And in about two weeks or so, teachers will be asked to vote. After that, the board will actually take action and vote on the final agreement. This agreement was vital to prevent the possibility of San Franciscos First Teacher strike since 1979. The big joy for me is that we were able to avoid a strike and we were able to kind of find a middle ground that really prioritized Student Learning and student outcomes, as well as what our educators need. According to the sfusd board president , this agreement will also likely help a proposed 1 billion school bond. It just allows for our whole School Community to come together and be focused on what it will take to make sure were able to successfully get the funds to improve our schools in San Francisco, luis pena, abc seven news. A Hayward Family left in shock after their five year old son with special needs wandered off his school campus. Its unbelievable. Is this really happening . The boy was found in the street by a driver. Three blocks from his school. Abc seven news iteam reporter Melanie Woodrow has the story. Youll see only on abc7 news. Do spiderman. Spiderman show her captain america. How about hulk . Hulk . Five year old jojo loves superheroes monday. The kindergartner had an adventure of his own after he wandered from Del Rey Elementary School in san lorenzo during recess. After asking to go to the restroom, person on the line told me they were from the school and that jojo was missing. I said, what do you mean missing . We cant find him. And she asked me, does he like to hide . I go, did you call the police . She said, no, not yet. Jojos dad rushed to the school and he called me and said, yeah, they found him. He was on bachmann, and a citizen had stopped and called the Sheriffs Department and waited with him. That citizen was angie williams, who was driving with her six year old daughter, faith, when she spotted jojo. So i turned this corner and i see him run right here and hes still running, but im waiting to see if there was a parent. No one came. So i turned around in the middle of the street attempting to block jojo. The thing is, the school is on this side, so he had already crossed the street, so hes ran all the way down here, ran through the stop sign and was going towards the stoplight. He was all the way down the end of bachmann, all the way down there. And hes running the whole time. Ran the whole time . Yeah, approximately a third of a mile. I was like, someones going to hit him and nobodys stopping. Once she and another driver stopped, they called 911. When Alameda County sheriffs deputies arrived and she posted this picture to the whats happening . San lorenzo, facebook group. This this little boy look familiar to you . The Alameda CountySheriffs Office tells the iteam the little boy walked away from the school just before 10 a. M. Around 10 15 a. M. Del rey Elementary School called them to report he was missing. A spokesperson for the School District tells abc7 news the district is investing, waiting what occurred and that student safety is always its highest priority. But jojos mom tina questions why staff allowed her son, who is nonverbal, out of their sight. Im just pretty shocked because hes only five and he has special needs. I wouldnt imagine they would let him go on his own to the bathroom. The district spokesperson tells the iteam. Jojos class includes a teacher and two other adults for nine students. Also that an adult supervises individual students as they enter and exit the restroom. The principal called me at the end of the day saying proper bathroom protocol was not followed. So they let him go and they kept a long eye on him, is what they how they put it. They kept a long eye on him. The school has not said how jojo got out. I mean, it could have been so much worse. He could have been hit by a car. Someone could have taken him. I know that they should be doing a lot more of keeping the kids safe while theyre here. And it begs the question to me, if they can get out, can people get in . I mean, theyre supposed to be locked down and how safe are the schools according to the district spokesperson, school doors can be open from the inside in accordance with building and fire codes, but they are locked to entry from the outside. The school has an intercom system to monitor the front door area and allow approved visitors to enter. Did you go in the street . Huh did you get to ride in a police car . Go tina isnt sure how much her son understood about what happened. Shes mostly relieved hes okay. Thank you, angie, for being a kind person, being a kind citizen and stopping and doing the right thing. I would do it for anybodys kid after jojo was found, tina says the school did not contact her. She reached out to them the least i could expected was, im so sorry that happened. And is he okay . She took jojo out of his class and is figuring out whats next. Frankly, i dont even know if i want him in this district. Im contemplating that now. What do i want to do .

Us postal inspectors shared these photos with us of what they believe to be the suspects getaway car in another mail carrier attack like this one happened two days later, around the same time, just six minutes away from the first attack. But this time the worker was robbed of their mail keys. The key itself is the object of the robbery. In almost every one of these instances is whether its here in the bay area or across the country. Theres only one reason to have that key, and its to commit another crime. Matthew norfleet, a us postal inspector, says illegally possessing one of these mail keys is a federal crime.

All right, shout out to the abc7 news viewers that helped out there. Well, work is underway to repair a small mural that was vandalized in San Francisco.

The artist who did the original painting recorded video of a man painting over the mural. The artist is now preparing to repaint the mural on that utility box on 22nd and valencia streets. I think the represents of a drag queen is really important because of what it does. It challenges gender roles and like all these other like normal normative behaviors in society.
