Our intent is not to be some sort of outlier, but our businesses are hurting. Reporter he points out gilroy is geographically removed from the denser parts of Silicon Valley and says theyve only seen two positive covid19 cases in the past 37 days. Ideally we would like to be able to open up a lot of things, including our retail outlets. But, you know, at this point were willing to take what we can get. Reporter gilroy is 33 miles from downtown san jose but only 12 miles from parts of san benito county, where restrictions were eased two weeks ago. Customers there can dine in restaurants and visit shops. Santa cruz could do the same soon. Were losing business even more now because other counties around us are going into an expanded phase two. Reporter gilroy businesses like this restaurant have seen it too. We have a lot of competition in other counties. Reporter it opened back in 1885, but the owners arent sure they can make it another month.

Youve heard the recommendations. Watch your hands. Practice social distancing. And wear a mask. Well, the new unemployment numbers highlight how devastating this pandemic has been on the u. S.

Reporter tonight President Donald Trump took to social media to praise comments by facebook ceo Mark Zuckerberg criticizing twitters recent move to factcheck him. We have a different policy, i think, than twitter on this. You know, i just believe strongly that facebook shouldnt be the arbiter of truth of everything that people say online. Reporter President Trumps executive order zeros in on a section of the Communications Decency act that basically shields social Media Companies from liability for anything that their users publish.

Reporter sergio quintana, nbc bay area news. We are back in 60 seconds. Still ahead, reports of child abuse in the bay area have dropped, but this seemingly positive sign is quite the opposite. We investigate whats happening to atrisk children during this crisis. Also it survived loma prieta and the great recession, but can it survive this pandemic . The effort to keep a south bay bookstore from shutting down forever. Im chief meteorologist jeff ranieri tracking the dropping temperatures and another chance of some lateseason rain by the weekend. Details in about seven minutes. Which is seemingly good news. Reports of child abuse have dropped across the bay area, which is seemingly good news. But county Officials Say its actually a disturbing trend. It doesnt mean there are fewer cases. It just means there are fewer calls as we shelter at home. Heres Investigative Reporter Candice Nguyen. Reporter School Closures and Distance Learning have made it so millions of students no longer have those face to face relationships with trusted adults other than their parents. Were talking about teachers. When it comes to child abuse and neglect at home, teachers are often the first ones to notice and report it. One morning i was greeting kids, and this child just blurted out, you know, oh, my face, my neck really hurts this morning, mrs. Dorsey. Reporter brannon dorsey, a bay area first grade teacher, says it was the worst teaching day of her life. I looked down, and i could see his face was swollen. He had visible marks on his neck, and im like, oh, my gosh, you know, what happened . And then he told me how he was hit at home. Reporter dorsey says she and her principal determined the child was in immediate danger and called 911. They says this kind of abuse may happen more often than you might think. There was a time that a student just shared out in the morning, oh, my dad was beating my mom last night. Do you think she would have been able to do that over a zoom call . Absolutely not. Reporter our Investigative Unit compiled data from multiple bay area counties showing calls to child abuse hotlines have dropped since california has sheltered at home. During april, the first full month of the stayathome order, contra costas numbers dropped by about 50 compared to the same month last year. 42 in Santa Clara County. 46 in San Francisco county. And 27 in alameda. Statewide, child abuse hotline calls fell 45 . It was so abrupt. It was so massive at every angle. Reporter kathy marsh is the director of Child Family Services in contra costa county. So with the shelter in place and children not being seen at school or not having inperson visit with their therapists or even medical providers, theyre not able to report because theyre not seeing the same things. Reporter across the board, teachers and School Personnel as mandated reporters typically call in the most child abuse reports. Is there still the fear that some of the most dire cases of abuse are still falling through the cracks . We worry about that because without being out there to know who are these children, where are they. Reporter marsh says this change in report sk more worrisome when family pressures at home may be building. We know theres a correlation between Domestic Violence and child abuse. Parents are struggling. Families are still struggling. Reporter Carol Carrillo is exclusive director of the Child Abuse Prevention Council for contra costa county. She says like so many things have changed as a result of covid19, so will the way we detect and report abuse. For instance, teachers doing Distance Learning may consider asking students different questions. Like who all had breakfast today . Who all had lunch today . How are you feeling today . Reporter or neighbors, carrillo says, can be more vigilant. She doesnt advocate for overreporting or tattling, but if there is concern about a childs safety, she says you can call your countys child abuse hotline to figure out the best course of action. If you believe the child is in immediate danger, she says call police. We never tell people they do more damage. You always want to err on what is the safety of the child. Reporter after teaching for 20 years, dorsey says nothing can replace classrooms. Its just really difficult to know that part of our job is to help kids, and thats taken away from us because of this crisis. Reporter as a neighbor, it can feel uncomfortable getting involved in someone elses family problems, but experts say when it comes to a childs safety, everyone is considered an essential worker.

About 100 people showed up this evening in front of the Hayward Police department to protest an officerinvolved shooting. The angry crowd demanded a stop to police brutality. Body cam footage was released today of the encounter with police. This was yesterday when officers confronted that man right there in front of his yard after a disturbance. Police say the man approached them with a knife, and thats when one officer shot him with a taser and another officer shot that man with his gun. The man survived and is now at the santa rita jail. The cleanup is nearly done at pier 45 in San Francisco following that massive fire last saturday. Flames destroyed a warehouse that held thousands of crab, shrimp, and black cod traps worth millions of bucks. Because of that, the fire has taken a devastating toll on the citys fishing industry. Still no word on the cause. Like so many businesses, a neighborhood bookstore might go out of business. But people in willow glen are trying to save it. Hicklebys childrens bookstore was started by four moms back in 1979. Over the last 41 years, the store survived recessions and even the loma prieta earthquake. But when the shelter at home order went into effect theyre getting to meet authors and just because were missing out on those connections, its just a huge loss of revenue for us. A gofundme account has been set up to help the bookstore. Heres a reason to smile. We are celebrating the class of 2020, and this time in an untraditional way. [ horns honking ] this is pretty cool. 270 graduates of Overfelt High School in san jose and their families hopped into their decorated cars and drove right on the campus right there to that stage. Each student got off and, well, got to smile. One by one the seniors received their diplomas, giving some elbow bumps to their administrators. Yes, Hand Sanitizer was used between each presentation. Pretty cool to see. Lets bring in our chief meteorologist jeff ranieri. I remember distinctly when i graduated from los altos high school, i remember my parents there, my good friends. All these kids now are going to miss that traditional ceremony, but were cheering them tonight. We definitely are. I know the High School One can be more memorable in some ways than the college one, but nonetheless, this is definitely going to be unforgettable no doubt. So were wishing all those graduates the best. At least we got some good weather in here and we have some really nice weather tomorrow although well start to see some much more noticeable changes. Lets bring you into that microclimate forecast. I do want to start off with the top item that we are watching right now off the coastline, and that is the fog thats beginning to build. But also take your eyes here to the bottom of the screen, and you can see this storm system. Ive been telling you about it all week long, and its still projected to line up the way the weather charts have it right now to move in by this weekend for a rain chance and an isolated thunderstorm possibility as well. Right now, the fog is starting to return. You can see its pretty widespread, even heading over to the east bay. Its dropping us down to 65 in walnut creek. You can see that live cam. We are fogged in in San Francisco. So tomorrow morning, take note. Cloud cover returning throughout the bay area to start. And for the afternoon, not as sunny. Its more of a filtered sunshine for us. Partly sunny to mostly cloudy sky. More of that mostly cloudy up against the immediate coastline. Temperatures for the morning, though, if you dont have a. C. , this is some good relief. Well be starting off cooler with plenty of 60s. In fact, even some 50s here for San Francisco and the north bay. So overall, a lot chillier than we have been used to lately. Temperatures down here in the south bay, lets bring you to it. No more 90s. No more 100s. Back to 76 in cupertino. 78 in san jose. For the east bay, 80 in concord. 77 martinez. Oakland, 73. Peninsula, 75. San francisco, 60s from the embarcadero to the outer sunset and the north bay coming in with 78 in napa and 73 in santa rosa. My extended forecast wants you to remember this. The oneday rain event chance here is on saturday. Trace amounts to 0. 35 of an inch. Will go to 64 for San Francisco. Then well see more 60s next week. Across the inland valleys, 73 on saturday with those isolated thunderstorm chances. Then well warm it back up as we move through next week. So that chance of rain saturday, raj, and then get this. Look at the longrange forecast. And i could even be looking at some rainfall for us by that following weekend as well. So its good to keep that fire danger down if we can keep these lightning strikes away. Switching it up for us. Mother nature is. That is great news. Thank you, jeff. Up next, social distancing in schools. How will it work . The new guidelines from the state superintendent that describes what classrooms are going to look like for our kids returning back to school. And happening now, parking lots and restrooms at the beaches in Half Moon Bay and pacifica will reopen this saturday. Theyve been closed since march. Neighbors in the surrounding areas were complaining that visitors were parking in residential spots. Were back in a moment. Motorcycle riders love the open road. And geico loves helping riders get to where theyre going, so to help even more, geico is giving new and current customers a fifteen percent credit on their motorcycle policies with the geico giveback. And because were committed for the long haul, the credit lasts your full policy term. The geico giveback. Helping riders focus on the road ahead. Back to school with new rules. The chronicle obtained a preliminary draft from the state Superintendents Office which has not yet been finalized by the governor. But here are some of the guidelines in this initial draft for all public schools. Six feet of separation at all times. Isolating groups of students all day, even at recess. Teachers must wear masks. Schools need to provide new handwashing stations. Meals will be served and eaten in classrooms. Kimberly miller is the nurse for san joses Alum Rock School district. She says district nurses in Santa Clara County are brainstorming on how to make these changes while facing budget cuts. So we are forming committees currently to discuss each one of these guidelines. We will then be submitting our recommendations to the Public Health department and also the county office of education. Whatever the new guidelines are, its going to be challenging. Alum Rock School District has more than 9,000 students and faced 8 million in budget cuts even before this pandemic. We are back in a moment with the big loss for the oakland as. Back in a moment. Heres what we want everyone to do. Count all the hugs you havent given. All the hands you havent held. All the dinners you didnt share with friends. The trips you havent taken. Keep track of them. Each one means one less person vulnerable, one less person exposed, and one step closer to a healthier community. So for now, keep your distance. But dont lose count. Well have some catching up to do. You probably dont know his face, but you probably know his voice. Roy steele, the legendary p. A. Announcer for the as, has died. Humbled by mr. Wolf and the as organization for honoring me this way. Steele was an oricer at the 1968 when they first moved here to the bay area from kansas city. His booming voice introduced every player that stepped onto that field at the coliseum. He retired after the 2005 season after getting a rare disorder of the esophagus. As we mentioned earlier in the newscast, permission has been granted, but will the games actually be played . Mayor breed today giving the green light to the giants and warriors to host games at oracle park and chase center beginning in midjune, june 15th to be exact. The two teams can also practice at the two sites beginning that day. But heres the catch. Major League Baseball and the players union, as you might have heard, are currently at odds. No deal has been reached for the teams to return. Meanwhile, the nba is working on a plan to have all teams play games in orlando. Its also possible that if the nba returns, it will only be playoff teams, which leaves the warriors out. Were back in a moment. And. Lets get started. music fades in hey hi well, we always like to end with something good. A south bay mom is starting a Facebook Group where parents and friends can adopt a senior, as in a senior in high school. Families can post a picture of a graduate, and someone can claim them for adoption. The seniors will then receive you see those smiles there. Theyll receive gifts from their adopting family leading up to graduation. Teresa camarillo from gilroy started this effort. Her daughter would have been graduating this year, but sadly she died of Cystic Fibrosis in 2014. Didnt want to make it about us, and my daughter and my si , situation. It was about the seniors and making them smile during the time when they should be celebrating. What a nice idea.
