Transcripts For WPVI Nightline 20140711 : vimarsana.com

To be parents. So whats with the hollywood baby boom . But first, the nightline five. Good evening. Thanks for joining us. Living on the sea. Sounds like a life of adventure and fun. But for one family who found themselves stranded in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with a sick child, their family adventure turned into a national flashpoint, and they arent alone. There are others living their lives away from the safety of the shores. Abcs reena ninen hops on board with one set of aquatic parents and kids. Reporter on deck, this might look like a fun family vacation. But below deck, severely cramped quarters for this family of five. But its home for this family, who ten months ago sold everything they have to live at sea with their three young children. We all sat down and said, this is not really the way we want to raise our kids. So this plan was not pretty much for us, its kind of more for them. Reporter theyve stocked the boat with everything, food, tools, even duct tape. Weve seen a lot of movies. Reporter they say theyre prepared for whatever Mother Nature sends their way. At arms reach, jugs of sun tan lotion, a trauma style medical kit. And a state of the Art Communications system. You dont happen to have cruise control, do you . Yes, we do. Thats where were going today. All right, youre sailing. Mother nature can do fierce, fierce things. Yeah, we live on the water. But who is to say were any worse than people who live in new orleans for the hurricanes . Reporter many question why families choose to live at sea with their young kids . Especially after another familys harrowing ordeal ignited a Fierce National debate over parenting at sea. So many questions this morning, george. This rescue was as harrowing as they come. High seas, howling winds and a sick baby girl. Reporter eric and charlotte decided to cross the Pacific Ocean with their two young daughter. But 900 miles off the coast, their youngest got sick. My youngest got sick at day ten. When the symptoms compile and your baby no longer acts normally, thats when you need to do something. Reporter it got worse, they say, when their Satellite Phone stopped working. At that point, we had no ability any longer to talk to our physician or to the coast guard physician. Our daughter wasnt getting any better with what was prescribed for her. And thats when we realized that we had entered a very bad spot. Reporter the kaufmans made it aboard a navy warship. They were forced to sink and abandon their boat. The rescue operation cost 600,000. The word that kept coming up about your trip was the word reckless. What do you say to that . Irresponsible, too. We disagree. I think you said it earlier that people i think they were reading the news and making this tensecond snap judgment and assumed we grabbed a six pack and hopped in a sailboat and went to the south pacific. Were both experienced sailors, we raised our daughters on a sailboat. We were very prepared. Reporter still, many accused them of being selfish and irresponsible parts. My heart went out to them. They lost everything. They lost their home. Its like your house burning down. They did everything right. Are they irresponsible . I dont think they are. They can do whatever they want to. Reporter they say living at sea is anything but a life of danger. Family budgets range from 2,000 to 5,000 a month. As for safety in i wouldnt do this if it wasnt safe. We have netting all the way around. Its pretty much a big playpen. To me, it is. I feel safe on this boat and i think the kids feel safe. Come up here and put your life jacket on. Reporter the kids reluctantly wear life jackets and are tethered to the boat with a harness when the family hits the high seas. You know how it is when we go sailing. I dont want to. I dont care if you want to put it on. Reporter and below deck, the living space might seem cramped but its well designed. The dining room doubles as a living room. They have storage underneath, and theres a master suite and each of the girls do have their own room, albeit a small one, and all over the boat is engineered with an eye towards safety. I like how much of your house is already baby proof. These are locks here. Everything has great latches. You dont want your cups and plates flying out. Reporter every bunk has netting, including the crib for their newborn. When it comes to bath time, the kids bathe in a little bucket in the shower stall. Are there any confidents of home that you really miss . A bathtub. Especially when i was pregnant. I would just die for a bath. You know your abcs . A, b, c, d reporter life at sea means theyre responsible for teaching their children. Its no different homeschooling on land than it is on the boat. Reporter and while there have been many adjustments, some routines never change. Im not tired. This is as chaotic as any home trying to get them bathed, vitamins, and bed. The greatest thing is i get to spend all day with them. And its the hardest thing that i get to spend all day with them. Reporter despite the challenges, they have no regrets. I dont want to be that person that looks back and just says that ive worked and become a slave to the system and not lived. I want to live. We know well be judged. Bull thats okay, because we know in our heart were doing what we think is right. These big cats were taken from drug kingpins and may have been used to punish rivals. Plus, is there a baby boom in tensile town . What is going on in hollywood . Fill their bowl with the meaty tastes theyre looking for, with friskies grillers. Tender meaty pieces and crunchy bites.

Maybe tom corbett would listen to them, instead of cutting funding for their schools. Oil and Gas Companies gave corbett 1. 7 Million Dollars in political contributions. And he gave them a sweetheart deal on taxes thats costing pennsylvania billions. Corbetts mismanagement has caused a huge budget deficit. And his painful education cuts are forcing teacher layoffs and increasing class sizes. Now corbett wants to give the oil and gas industry even more handouts. And whats he getting from them .

Youre about to meet a woman who takes care of big, potentially dangerous animals, abandoned by or taken from drug kingpins. What they may have been used for is nothing short of shocking. Heres abcs bob woodruff for our series off the map. Reporter its feeding time for two of colombias most feared animals. This one on the left is the man eater. Reporter bengal tigers, once owned by a paramilitary commander who allegedly used them to devour his enemies. Drug dealers were feeding them humans . Yes. Reporter can i feed him . Now, just steel bars separate me from the deadly 500 pound cats still adjusting to their new diet. Is it beef . Throw it over the top . Animals so dangerous, so unpredictable, even this is apparently too close. And thats what makes what youre about to see even more unbelievable. One of the most unusual zookeepers youll ever meet. Getting right up close and very personal with some of the deadliest pets of colombias drug lords. Our journey into a strange, exotic world begins in the slums outside of kali, colombia, through winding dirt roads, finally to this giant steel gate. Our driver rings the doorbell. Revealing a world few people, let alone tv cameras, are ever allowed to see. A place teaming with more than 800 exotic animals. Welcome to the wild kingdom of anna julia torrez, School Principal turned Animal Rights crusader. The animals love her. Its the way they express their gratefulness to her. Reporter that is something. Many have been rescued from the harsh world of circuses and animal trafficking. They take the flamingos into the airports and put them in there and smuggle them out of the country . But the most dangerous here are the forgotten victims of colombias neverending drug wars. Onetime status symbols left behind by the countrys drug lords, after they were arrested or killed. If you did not do this, what would be happening to these animals . Translator they would have to be killed. Reporter she stops us to listen. Those are the cries of jupiter. She is very, very in love with jupiter. Reporter a giant 500 pound lion who hasnt seen his new master in more than a week. As we move in closer to film the bizarre reunion, a warning from her cousin, die yego. I wouldnt dare go past there. Reporter dont you get afraid at all . No. Reporter not at all . How does it make you feel as a cousin putting her face right there in front of a dangerous animal the at the beginning i was worried. Shes been taking care of them for so long, and i guess they feel the love, you know . Reporter but even her love cant undo some of the damage thats been done. Were going to see a lion that used to belong to drug dealers. Th every time he will used to hear music, he would go wild, because he knew he was going to a party. Hes unpredictable. Reporter so you cant hug this one, can you . No. Lock look at his eyes, like hes gone on trip. Reporter the drug dealers who kid this have yet to face charges. But if she could get her hands on them she would strangle them. Reporter the police are here. Probably the environmental police. Reporter but theres little time to think revenge around here. Well see what they brought. What is it . Reporter inside, a large python found slithering through a neighborhood. Illegal pets. They have taken away many of these from photographers that use them to profit from taking pictures with people. Reporter has anybody gone to prison for this kind of torture of animals . There are laws, but they are not enforced. Reporter while no animal has ever been shunned, she does refuse government financing. Everything is paid for with private donations. And food donated from local grocery stores. But theres Something Else here, far more valuable. When you give them love like that, do you think that their health, their condition gets better .
