AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU.

THANK YOU.

>>> A TEENAGER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COUNTRY IS UNDER ARREST IN CONNECTION WITH THE DEADLY MAY SHOOTING AT THE SAN DIEGO ISLAMIC CENTER.

THANKS FOR JOINING US.

I'M JOHN CARROLL.

AUTHORITIES IN NORTH CAROLINA SAY A 17-YEAR-OLD GIRL IS INDICTED ON THREE COUNTS OF MURDER AND ONE COUNT OF CONSPIRACY.

ALEXANDER NGUYEN IS LIVE IN CLAIRE MOUNT MESA WITH DETAILS AND REACTIONS.

HEY, ALEX.

>> Reporter: HI, JOHN.

AS YOU CAN SEE, PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO GATHER FOR THE EVENING PRAYER.

HERE'S WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR ABOUT THE ARREST THIS MORNING.

AUTHORITIES IN WINSTON SALEM, NORTH CAROLINA, ARRESTED A 17-YEAR-OLD GIRL LAST WEEKEND, AND THE GRAND JURY INDICTED HER TODAY.

NOW, SHE'S BEEN CHARGED AS AN ADULT.

AND BECAUSE OF THAT WE ARE NAMING HER.

AUTHORITIES SAY SARAH LINDSEY SANTIAGO ALLEGEDLY AGREED TO RECORD THE LIVE STREAM OF THE SHOOTING AND THEN DISSEMINATE THE VIDEO AS LONG AS THE GUNMAN'S HATE-FILLED WRITINGS BACK IN MAY.

AN 18 AND 17-YEAR-OLD BOY SHOT AND KILLED THREE PEOPLE AT THE ISLAMIC CENTER BEFORE TURNING THE GUN ON THEMSELVES.

THE OPERATION MANAGER SAYS SOME PARENTS STILL FEEL UNEASY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED THAT DAY.

THEY ARE STILL PROCESSING IT.

>> IT'S A DIFFERENT FEELING WHEN YOU HAVE CHILDREN VERSUS JUST THE GENERAL CONGREGATION OR SOME OF THE OLDER GUYS.

SO, THERE'S DEFINITELY A LITTLE DIFFERENT SENTIMENT ON THAT SIDE OF THE FENCE.

BUT, UM, YEAH.

I THINK ALL IN ALL IT'S LIKE WE'RE STILL PROCESSING, NAVIGATING.

>> Reporter: NOW AUTHORITIES IN NORTH CAROLINA ARRESTED SANTIAGO BEFORE THE WEEKEND.

SHE IS STILL THE STUDENT THERE AND THEY SAY SHE WAS CONCERNED THAT SOMETHING COULD HAPPEN.

HERE THE FORSYTH DISTRICT ATTORNEY JIM O'NEAL.

>> THIS IS A STUDENT.

AND THE THOUGHT OF HER GOING BACK TO SCHOOL OR WITH THE WEEKEND APPROACHING HOLY DAYS APPROACHING, WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT SHE -- WAS CAPABLE OF.

>> Reporter: NOW, AUTHORITIES CALLED THREE VICTIMS HEROES SINCE THE SHOOTING, THE ISLAMIC CENTER HAS UPGRADED THEIR SECURITY AND UPDATED THEIR SAFETY PROCEDURES.

NOW SAN DIEGO POLICE DEPARTMENT SAY THIS CASE IS STILL ON GOING AND THEY ARE COMMITTED TO BRING JUSTICE TO THE VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES.

LIVE IN CLAREMONT MESA, ALEXANDER NGUYEN, KPBS NEWS.

>>> COMING UP TONIGHT, TEMPERATURES WILL STAY QUITE WARM.

WE'RE DOWN TO 68 DEGREES UNDER A MAINLY CLEAR SKY.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE COMING DOWN A BIT MORE OVER THE COMING DAYS.

BUT SOME WINDIER CONDITIONS ACROSS MOUNTAIN LOCATIONS AND DESERT LOCATIONS AND TRACKING SOME TROPICAL MOISTURE BY THE LABOR DAY HOLIDAY WEEKEND.

WE'LL HAVE A CLOSER LOOK UP COMING UP.

>> MILITARY ACTION IN THE WAR BETWEEN THE U.S.

AND IRAN REIGNITED OVER THE WEEKEND WITH BOTH SIDES EXCHANGING ATTACKS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MORE THAN A MONTH.

NOW PRESIDENT TRUMP IS SIGNALING THE RENEWED FIGHTING MIGHT NOT BE OVER YET.

MADDY GANNON HAS THE LATEST FROM THE WHITE HOUSE.

>> Reporter: TENSIONS BETWEEN THE U.S.

AND IRAN ARE FLARING MONDAY AFTER A WEEKEND OF ESCALATION THAT HAS THE MIDDLE EAST ON EDGE AGAIN.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP STARTED THE WEEK WARNING THAT MORE MILITARY ACTION FROM THE U.S.

IS AHEAD.

HE TOLD FOX NEWS THAT THE U.S.

WOULD BE HITTING IRAN HARD AFTER IT RESPONDED TO U.S.

STRIKES OVER THE WEEKEND.

TRUMP ALSO TOOK TO SOCIAL MEDIA TO LAUNCH FRESH CRITICISM AGAINST THE COUNTRY.

AND ONE POST HE REFERRED TO IRAN AS A, QUOTE, FAILED NATION AND DEAD.

IN ANOTHER, HE REPOSTED AN A.I.-GENERATED VIDEO OF AN ATTACK ON IRAN'S KHARG ISLAND.

THE U.S.

SAID SUNDAY THAT IT TARGETED TWO IRANIAN ROCKET LAUNCHERS ON AN ISLAND NEAR THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ.

U.S.

OFFICIALS SAID THE ROCKET LAUNCHERS WERE PREPARING TO SEND MINES INTO THE WATERWAY.

TRUMP HAS BEEN INSISTING THAT THE U.S.

HAS CLEARED ALL MINES FROM THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ AND RECENTLY WARNED THAT ANY SHIPS TRYING TO LAY MORE WOULD BE DESTROYED.

BUT THE MOVE MARKED THE FIRST U.S.

STRIKES AGAINST IRAN SINCE LATE JULY.

AND IT WAS A SHIFT FROM THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S RECENT FOCUS OF RAMPING UP ECONOMIC PRESSURE AGAINST IRAN INSTEAD OF TAKING MILITARY ACTION.

IRAN RESPONDED SUNDAY BY TARGETING U.S.

BASES IN JORDAN AND THE UAE.

AND IT ALL COMES JUST DAYS AFTER THE WHITE HOUSE SAID THERE ARE NO NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN THE U.S.

AND IRAN CURRENTLY TAKING PLACE.

IRAN'S STATE BROADCASTER REPORTED MONDAY THAT IRAN'S PRESIDENT SAID THE COUNTRY IS CAPABLE OF DELIVERING A, QUOTE, DECISIVE RESPONSE TO U.S.

ATTACKS.

BUT IN OTHER STATE NEWS AGENCY QUOTED HIM AS SAYING THAT IRAN IS STILL PURSUING A PATH TOWARD AGREEMENT AND UNDERSTANDING.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE, I'M MADDIE GANNON.

>>> DURING HIS SECOND TERM, PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP HAS DONE VERY LITTLE THAT CAN BE CONSIDERED BIPARTISAN, BUT ONE THING DOES STAND OUT.

THE LAKEN RILEY ACT.

KPBS REPORTER GUSTAVO SOLIS EXPLORES THIS MORE THAN A YEAR AFTER TRUMP SIGNED INTO LAW.

>> A BIPARTISAN LAW TARGETING IMMIGRANTS WITHOUT LEGAL STATUS.

>> IN A FEW MOMENTS, THE LAKEN RILEY ACT WILL BECOME THE VERY FIRST BILL THAT I PROUDLY SIGN INTO LAW AS THE 47th PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

>> Reporter: THE LAW WAS NAMED AFTER A COLLEGE STUDENT WHO WAS MURDERED BY AN UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANT.

IT REQUIRES MANDATORY DETENTION FOR IMMIGRANTS WHO ARE ACCUSED OF CERTAIN CRIMES.

>> UNDER THE LAW I'M SIGNING TODAY, THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY WILL BE REQUIRED TO DETAIN ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS WHO HAVE BEEN ARRESTED FOR THEFT, BURGLARY, LARSONNY, SHOPLIFTING, ASSAULTING A POLICE OFFICER, MURDER OR ANY CRIME THAT RESULTS IN DEATH.

>> Reporter: 13 SENATE DEMOCRATS AND 46 HOUSE DEMOCRATS VOTED FOR THE ACT, INCLUDING SAN DIEGO CONGRESSMAN MIKE LEBEN.

LEBEN JUSTIFIED HIS VOTE BY CITING INCREASE IN THEFTS IN HIS NORTH COUNTY DISTRICT.

BUT CIVIL RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS AT THE TIME SAID THE NEW LAW WOULD DENY PEOPLE DUE PROCESS PROTECTIONS.

THAT'S BECAUSE LAKEN RILEY IMPOSES DETENTION ON PEOPLE AFTER AN ARREST, EVEN IF THEY ARE NEVER CHARGED OR CONVICTED.

AFTER HIS VOTE IN 2025, LEBEN SAID HE DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT THE LAW WOULD TAKE AWAY DUE PROCESS PROTECTIONS OR TARGET INNOCENT IMMIGRANTS.

BUT IMMIGRATION LAWYERS SAY THAT'S WHAT IS HAPPENING.

>> LAKEN RILEY HAS BEEN A PROBLEM BECAUSE I'M SURE YOU READ THE STATUE, A BASIC ARREST IS ENOUGH, EVEN IF THE PERSON WASN'T CONVICTED.

SO IT'S -- I THOUGHT IT WAS ABSURD WHEN I HEARD THIS WAS ON THE -- YOU KNOW, ON THE TABLE.

AND I THOUGHT IT WAS INCREDIBLY ABSURD WHEN PEOPLE VOTED FOR IT.

>> AN IMMIGRATION LAWYER BASED IN LOS ANGELES, HE REPRESENTED A MAN WHO WAS ARRESTED FOR RECEIVING STOLEN PROPERTY.

A COUNTY JUDGE DISMISSED THE CASE IN CRIMINAL COURT, BUT THAT DIDN'T MATTER IN IMMIGRATION COURT, WHERE A JUDGE USED THE LAKEN RILEY ACT AS A JUSTIFICATION TO KEEP HIM LOCKED UP.

>> BUT IT BECAME A MAJOR ISSUE THIS PERSON WAS DELAYED AND STUCK IN JAIL FOR A MONTH AND A HALF.

HE OWNS HIS OWN BUSINESS, YOU KNOW, NOW HE'S AT RISK OF LOSING EVERYTHING BECAUSE HE HAD TO SHUT DOWN THE BUSINESS FOR MONTH AND A HALF.

BILLS STILL HAVE TO BE PAID AND NOW THEY'RE BACKED UP ON THEIR MORTGAGE PAYMENTS AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

IT CREATES A MAJOR IMPACT.

>> Reporter: THERE ARE CURRENTLY MORE THAN 65,000 PEOPLE IN IMMIGRATION DETENTION AND MORE THAN 70% OF THEM DO NOT HAVE CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS.

THERE IS NO PUBLICLY AVAILABLE DATA THAT TELLS US HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SUBJECT TO MANDATORY DETENTION UNDER LAKEN RILEY, BUT INDIVIDUAL CASES SHOW THE LAW'S IMPACT.

IN SAN DIEGO, NOAH MONTAGUE REPRESENTED A MAN WHO WAS NEVER EVEN ARRESTED FOR A CRIME.

WHILE HE'S NOT A LAWYER, MONTAGUE IS ACCREDITED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO REPRESENT PEOPLE IN IMMIGRATION COURT.

>> MY CLIENT HAS NEVER BEEN ARRESTED FOR ANY KIND OF CRIME RELATING TO ASSAULT ON A POLICE OFFICER.

HOWEVER, WHAT HAPPENED WHEN HE WAS PICKED UP BY I.C.E., THE NARRATIVE THAT I.C.E.

WROTE SAID THAT HE BASICALLY RESISTED ARREST AND THAT RESULTED IN ASSAULT OF A POLICE OFFICER.

>> Reporter: NO ARREST, NO CHARGE, NO CONVICTION.

JUST THE WORDS OF A FEDERAL OFFICER.

YET THE JUDGE INVOKED LAKEN RILEY.

>> SO THERE'S BEEN NO ARREST FOR THIS CRIME.

THERE'S BEEN NO CONVICTION.

MY CLIENT HAS MAINTAINED HIS -- THAT HE DIDN'T TRY TO DO THIS.

AND THE ONLY CONTEXT IT EVER CAME UP WAS A REPORT BY AN I.C.E.

OFFICER THAT'S ACTUALLY UNSIGNED.

>> Reporter: MONTAGUE DESCRIBES THE LAKEN RILEY ACT AS JUST ONE PIECE OF TRUMP'S MASS DEPORTATION MACHINE.

OTHERS INCLUDE COURTHOUSE ARRESTS, TRAVEL BANS, THIRD COUNTRY DEPORTATIONS, AND AGGRESSIVE IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT RAIDS, ALL WITH THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF MAKING LIFE SO DIFFICULT FOR IMMIGRANTS THAT THEY SELF DEPORT.

>> BUT THEY'RE KIND OF PIECEMEAL PULLING THIS POLICY, THIS POLICY, THIS POLICY THAT MAKE IT SO UNBEARABLE THAT PEOPLE DECIDE THEY DON'T, QUOTE, UNQUOTE, WANT TO PLAY THE GAME.

>> Reporter: LEBEN'S OFFICE DECLINED MULTIPLE INTERVIEW.

IN A STATEMENT, LEBEN ACKNOWLEDGES THAT AN ARREST IS NOT A FINDING OF GUILT AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO BECOME A SHORTCUT AROUND DUE PROCESS.

BUT THE TEXT OF THE LAW HE VOTED FOR SPECIFICALLY REQUIRES DHS TO DETAIN IMMIGRANTS AFTER AN ARREST.

SINCE VOTING FOR THE LAW, LEBEN HAS BECOME AN OUTSPOKEN CRITIC OF TRUMP'S DEPORTATION AGENDA.

HE'S VOTED TO WITH HOLD FUNDING FOR I.C.E., DEMANDED MORE TRANSPARENCY IN DETENTION CENTERS AND ADVOCATED FOR FAM LITS OF DEPORTED CONSTITUENTS.

>>> TOMORROW, THE SAN DIEGO CITY COUNCIL WILL CONSIDER REPEALING AN ORDINANCE RELATED TO BATHHOUSES.

KPBS METRO REPORTER ANDREW BOWEN SAID IT WAS PASSED IN 1988 AMID A PANIC OVER HIV AND AIDS.

>> Reporter: THE ORDINANCE BEGINS BY STATING ITS INTENT TO STOP GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN FROM HAVING SEX AND SPREADING HIV BY STRICTLY REGULATING BATHHOUSES.

COUNCIL PRESIDENT JOE LA KA VA'S OFFICE IS OPPOSING THE REVEAL.

IT REFLECTS HOMOPHOBIC ATTITUDES AND SHOULD NO LONGER BE CODIFIED.

COUNTY HEALTH OFFICIALS SUPPORT THE REPEAL.

THEY SAY BY THE TIME THE BATHHOUSE ORDINANCE WAS ADOPTED IN THE LATE '80s, GAY AND BI MEN BEGUN CHANGING THEIR BEHAVIOR TO PROTECT THEMSELVES AND EACH OTHER.

>> THEY HAD REDUCED THE NUMBER OF SEXUAL PARTNERS.

THEY HAD REDUCED OR ELIMINATED ANONYMOUS SEXUAL ENCOUNTERS.

THEY WERE ADOPTING CONDOMS TO REDUCE THE LIKELIHOOD OF TRANSMISSION.

AND SO THIS -- THIS ORDINANCE PROBABLY WASN'T HELPFUL IN STOPPING HIV OR PREVENTING HIV.

>> Reporter: THE COMMUNITY CENTER OFFERS FREE HIV TESTING, TREATMENT, EDUCATION AND SUPPORT SERVICES.

SPOKESMAN GUS HERNANDEZ SAYS THE BATHHOUSE ORDINANCE COULD CONTRIBUTE TO STIGMA, WHICH CAN UNDERMINE EFFORTS TO STOP THE VIRUS.

>> WHAT WE'VE SEEN HERE AT THE CENTER IS WHEN FOLKS FEEL STIGMATIZED, THEY ARE RELUCTANT TO FIND OUT, EVEN IF THEY HAVE HIV.

THEY'RE RELUCTANT TO LEARN ABOUT THEIR STATUS BECAUSE THEY'RE ASHAMED.

AND SO, WE PROVIDE AFFIRMING SERVICES HERE IN A JUDGMENT-FREE ENVIRONMENT.

>> Reporter: HERNANDEZ SAYS THE MOST EFFECTIVE HIV PREVENTION TOOLS ARE MEDICATIONS THAT MAKE THE VIRUS UNTRANSMISSIBLE THROUGH SEX.

THE BIGGEST BARRIERS TO THOSE TOOLS, HE SAYS, ARE POVERTY AND LACK OF ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE.

ANDREW BOWEN, KPBS NEWS.

>>> TONIGHT ON THE NEWS HOUR, HOW MUCH OIL IS GETTING THROUGH THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ.

WHILE BOTH THE U.S.

AND IRAN CLAIM CONTROL OF THE SHIPPING ROUTE.

THAT'S COMING UP AT 7 AFTER "EVENING EDITION" ON KPBS.

>>> THERE IS A GROWING LEGAL RECKONING FOR TECH COMPANIES OVER CHILD AND TEEN SAFETY ONLINE.

AS PART OF A LANDMARK $18 BILLION DEAL WITH DOZENS OF STATES, META IS AGREEING TO MAJOR REFORMS.

AS MICHAEL YOSHIDA REPORTS, MANY SAFETY ADVOCATES AND LEGISLATURES ALIKE ARE HOPING THIS WILL PUSH CONGRESS AND REGULATORS AFTER YEARS OF STALLED ACTION.

>> Reporter: BIG TECH FACED LAWSUITS, HEARINGS AND VIRAL MOMENTS IN WASHINGTON.

THE LAST WEEK'S $18 BILLION META SETTLEMENT COULD OPEN THE DOOR TO GREATER CHANGE FOR SOCIAL MEDIA.

>> THE OPTIMISTIC VIEW HERE IS THAT THIS AGREEMENT SETS A NEW FOUNDATION OR NEW PRECEDENT FOR OTHER COMPANIES TO JOIN IN.

>> Reporter: WHILE META DID NOT ADMIT WRONG DOING, IT IS AGREEING TO SAFETY CHANGES AFTER DOZENS OF STATES ACCUSED HIS PLATFORM CONTRIBUTING TO A YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS.

IT IS CALLING ON TikTok, YOUTUBE AND OTHER PLATFORMS TO FOLLOW SUIT.

>> IT IS CHANGING A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT ADVOCATES HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT.

>> Reporter: THOSE INCLUDE DAILY TIME LIMITS, SCHOOL AND NIGHT MODES, AGE VERIFICATION AND INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO MAKE SURE META FOLLOWS THROUGH.

STILL, SOME SAY A SETTLEMENT WITH ONE COMPANY IS NOT ENOUGH.

>> THE STATE ATTORNEY'S GENERAL HAVE DONE THEIR PART, THEY HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATING, THEY HAVE TURNED UP THE DISCOVERY, AND NOW DELIVERED A SETTLEMENT.

AND IT'S REALLY TIME FOR THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE TO FINISH THE JOB.

>> THIS IS A STEP FORWARD, BUT IT IS NOT NEARLY SUFFICIENT.

>> Reporter: CONGRESS HAS TRIED BUT FAILED TO PASS BROAD INDUSTRY WIDE SAFETY RULES BUT THERE IS HOPE THE LATEST COURT OUTCOME PROVIDES FRESH MOMENTUM TO PASS LEGISLATION LIKE THE KIDS ONLINE SAFETY ACT AND STRENGTHEN CHILDREN'S ONLINE PRIVACY PROTECTIONS.

>> THERE HAS TO BE A STANDARD OF PROTECTING CHILDREN AND WE NEED THE FEDERAL AGENCIES TO HAVE THE POWER TO ENFORCE THAT.

>> Reporter: IN WASHINGTON, I'M MICHAEL YOSHIDA REPORTING.

>>> THAT LANDMARK LEGAL SETTLEMENT WITH META HAS SOCIAL MEDIA ADDICTION AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE BACK IN THE HEADLINES.

KPBS HEALTH REPORTER HEIDI DeMARCO TAKES A LOOK AT A NEW STUDY THAT EXPLORES WHAT HAPPENS WHEN TEENAGERS TAKE A BREAK FROM THEIR PHONES FOR A FEW WEEKS.

>> Reporter: FOR ABOUT THREE WEEKS AT A SUMMER CAMP IN MAINE, 192 TEENAGERS INCLUDING SOME FROM SAN DIEGO HAD NO PHONES.

INSTEAD OF SCROLLING, THEY WERE SPENDING THEIR DAYS OUTSIDE.

>> CANOEING ON THE LAKE OR LEARNING HOW TO THROW A POT ON A POTTERY WHEEL OR LEARNING HOW TO PLAY GUITAR.

ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE REQUIRE MOVEMENT, REQUIRE THE USE OF YOUR HANDS AS WELL AS YOUR MIND.

>> Reporter: MATT PINES RAN MAINE TEEN CAMP.

HE ASKED CAMPERS LAST SUMMER WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO BE WITHOUT THEIR PHONES.

>> WE HEARD THAT THEY FELT A LOT LESS PRESSURE ON THEM, SOCIALLY IN THE ABSENCE OF DEVICES.

I THINK THEY FELT LIKE THEY COULD BE THEMSELVES WITHOUT FEAR OF SOMEONE RECORDING THEM, BEING GOOFY AND POSTING IT OVER SOCIAL MEDIA.

>> Reporter: RESEARCHERS USED A QUESTIONNAIRE AT THE BEGINNING AND END OF CAMP THAT COMBINES MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL BEING INTO ONE OVERALL SCORE.

BY THE END OF CAMP, THAT SCORE HAD IMPROVED BY AN AVERAGE OF 10 POINTS.

SUSAN IS A PROFESSOR WHO CONSULTED ON THE STUDY.

>> YOUNG PEOPLE WHO CAME TO THE CAMP ALREADY AT A SOMEWHAT HIGHER LEVEL OF DISTRUST, MAYBE SHOWING SOME SIGNS OF DEPRESSION, OF ANXIETY, REALLY BENEFITTED THE MOST FROM THIS SORT OF DETOX PERIOD.

AND THE WHOLE CAMP SITUATION.

>> Reporter: THEIR SCORES IMPROVED BY A MEDIAN OF 27 POINTS.

BUT SHE SAYS THE STUDY HAD LIMITATIONS.

THE TEENS WEREN'T RANDOMLY ASSIGNED, AND MOST CAME FROM AFFLUENT FAMILIES.

SHE SAYS THAT MEANS WE CAN'T KNOW IF TAKING AWAY THE PHONES ALONE CAUSED THE IMPROVEMENT.

>> THE SLEEP, THE SOCIALIZATION, BEING OUT OF YOUR USUAL ENVIRONMENT, BEING OUTDOORS A LOT OF OTHER FEATURES WERE PRESENT AS WELL.

>> Reporter: THE STUDY ALSO UNDID WHEN CAMP DID, SO RESEARCHERS DON'T KNOW WHETHER THE IMPROVEMENTS LASTED.

STILL, SHE SAYS FAMILIES CAN BORROW SOME OF THE CAMP'S LESSONS WITHOUT SENDING THEIR KIDS AWAY FOR WEEKS.

>> LIMITING PHONE USE, KEEPING IT TO MAYBE TWO HOURS A DAY, CERTAIN TIMES OF DAY, KEEPING THE PHONE AWAY DURING MEAL TIMES, AND PROBABLY MOST IMPORTANTLY KEEPING IT UNACCESSIBLE DURING THE NIGHT.

>> Reporter: SHE SAYS MORE STUDIES ARE NEEDED TO DETERMINE WHICH PARTS OF THE EXPERIENCE MADE THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE.

AND WHETHER THE BENEFITS CONTINUE AFTER TEENS RETURN TO THEIR NORMAL ROUTINES.

HEIDI DeMARCO, KPBS NEWS.

>>> MORE THAN 11,000 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SICKENED BY CONTAMINATEDLESS US THE SINCE MAY.

HEALTH OFFICIALS ARE REPORTING MORE CASES OF SIGH CLOE SPORE RYE SIS TIED TO ICEBERG LETTUCE.

PRODUCTS LINKED TO THE OUTBREAK ARE NO LONGER ON STORE SHELVES BUT THE OUTBREAK LEFT MANY PEOPLE WONDERING WHETHER IT'S SAFE TO EAT LETTUCE.

HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW, BY JEN SULLIVAN.

>> Reporter: VENDORS AT THE FARMERS MARKET IN ATLANTA, ARE BUSY SELLING LOCALLY GROWN PRODUCE AND OTHER FOODS.

>> IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT I KNOW WHERE MY VEGETABLES AND FRUIT IS COMING FROM.

>> Reporter: GLORIA WEBB SAYS SHE'S BEEN BUYING MORE LOCAL PRODUCE THIS SUMMER DUE TO CONCERNS ABOUT FOOD SAFETY, SPECIFICALLY THE GROWING CASES OF PSYCH LOW SPORE RYE SIS, IT'S AGHAST ROW INTESTINAL INFECTION CAUSED BY THE PARASITE THAT CAN CONTAMINATE CERTAIN FOODS.

>> EVERYDAY YOU HEAR SOMETHING ON THE NEWS.

>> Reporter: SO HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.

THIS OUTBREAK HAS BEEN LINKED TO SHREDDED LETTUCE FROM TAYLOR FARMS AND GROWERS BASED IN MEXICO AND REPORTED IN AT LEAST 20 STATES WITH MORE THAN 11,000 CASES REPORTED NATIONWIDE.

MORE THAN 500 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HOSPITALIZED AND TWO PEOPLE HAVE DIED ACCORDING TO THE U.S.

CENTERS FOR DISEASE PREVENTION.

THE U.S.

FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION SAYS, QUOTE, THE FDA REMAINS CONFIDENT THAT ALL RECALLED ICEBERG LETTUCE IS OFF THE MARKET.

STILL, IT HAS MANY SHOPPERS, LIKE WEBB, WORRIED ABOUT FOOD SAFETY.

>> FOLKS SHOULD NOT BE SCARED AWAY FROM EATING THEIR FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.

>> Reporter: HEALTH OFFICIALS ALWAYS RECOMMEND WASHING PRODUCE AND VEGETABLES BEFORE EATING IT, BUT WATER ISN'T ENOUGH TO KILL THE PARASITE.

>> BOILING, ROASTING, THINGS LIKE THAT KILLS THESE PATHOGENS.

>> Reporter: SO HOW CAN YOU BE SURE YOUR LETTUCE IS SAFE TO EAT?

HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY YOU DON'T NEED TO AVOID ALL ICEBERG LETTUCE, BUT YOU DO NEED TO AVOID PRODUCTS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED.

AND IF YOU'RE OUT TO DINNER AND ORDER A SALAD, HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY YOUR RISK IS LIKELY MINIMAL.

AND YOU CAN ALWAYS ASK YOUR SERVER WHERE THEY GET THEIR LETTUCE AND HOW IT'S BEEN PREPARED.

FOR CONSUMER WATCH, I'M JEN SULLIVAN.

>>> THE FLASH FLOODING THAT HIT PARTS OF GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK ON SATURDAY, KILLED AT LEAST TWO PEOPLE, THAT ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE.

AND CREWS BATTLED MORE RAINS TODAY AS THEY WORKED TO FIND ROUGHLY A DOZEN HIKERS STILL UNACCOUNTED FOR.

HERE IS THE LATEST.

>> AND THAT'S WHEN IT WAS KNEE DEEP.

AND WE'RE RUNNING.

>> WE'RE TRYING TO RUN IN KNEE DEEP WATER.

>> Reporter: EYEWITNESSES SHARING THEIR HARROWING EVACUATION STORIES.

>> SHE CAME BACK AND SAID, OKAY.

SHE WAS A LITTLE MORE URGENT.

THIS IS GOING TO BE A MANDATORY EVACUATION.

GRAB ALL YOUR STUFF.

WE NEED TO GO.

>> Reporter: AFTER WAVES OF HEAVY RAIN ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON PROMPTED MASSIVE FLASH FLOODING IN PARTS OF GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK.

>> WHEN THE RAIN HIT AND THE RAIN CONTINUED, IT GOT FASTER AND FASTER.

IT WAS PROBABLY MOVING FASTER THAN I THINK I COULD RUN.

>> Reporter: A STATEMENT FROM THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE MONDAY CONFIRMED THE RECOVERY OF TWO BODIES AND SAID SEARCH AND RECOVERY EFFORTS CONTINUED.

THAT FOLLOWS THEIR PUBLIC CALL FOR INFORMATION ABOUT ANYONE WHO MAY HAVE BEEN HIKING OR BACKPACKING IN THE BRIGHT ANGEL CANYON OR PHANTOM RANCH AREA SATURDAY.

THIS WOMAN FELT LIKE HER TENT WAS COLLAPSING AROUND HER AS SHE SOUGHT SHELTER FROM THE STORMS.

SHE SAID SHE'S BEEN DOWN INTO THE GRAND CANYON MANY TIMES BUT NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS.

>> THERE ARE DEFINITELY LESSONS IDENTIFY LEARNED, LIKE IF YOU SEE RAIN ALL AROUND YOU AND YOU'RE IN A CANYON, YOU NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL AND MAKE VERY SMART DECISIONS.

>> Reporter: FLOODS ALSO CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO PARK INFRASTRUCTURE, INCLUDING THE WATER LINE THAT SUPPLIES THE PARK, A STATEMENT FROM PARK OFFICIALS SAID, THAT LED TO THE CLOSING OF OVERNIGHT ACCOMMODATIONS AS OF MONDAY AND OTHER WATER CONSERVATION MEASURES.

♪ >>> TAKING A LOOK AT OUR WEATHER HEADLINES AS WE TRACK SOME INLAND COOLING THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.

BUT SOME GUSTY DESERT AND MOUNTAIN WINDS MAY IMPACT SOME OF YOUR TIME OUTSIDE AND SOME TRAVEL.

AND THEN SPEAKING OF TRAVEL, RIGHT?

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE UPCOMING LABOR DAY HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND WE'LL SEE AN INCREASE IN SOME MONSOONAL MOISTURE BUT COULD HAVE TROPICAL MOISTURE.

TONIGHT'S TEMPERATURE, BORREGO SPRINGS, 71.

OCEAN SIDE 65, SAN DIEGO 68 AND CHULA VISTA DOWN TO 66 DEGREES.

>>> WE'LL BE CONTINUING TO SEE THUNDERSTORMS IN THAT MONSOONAL MOISTURE ACROSS THE FOUR CORNERS REGION, BUT SOME PLEASANT AIR RETURNING AND WE'RE GOING TO GET SOME OF THE COOLING FURTHER INLAND AS THE WEEK PROGRESSES.

SO SUNSHINE TOMORROW, WE'RE UP TO 79 IN SAN DIEGO, 80 AT OCEAN SIDE.

HOT DAY AT BOAR RAY GA SPRINGS AT 1010.

MOUNT LAGUNA 70 WITH SUNSHINE.

POCKETS OF HEAVY RAIN AS WE HEAD INTO THE LABOR DAY HOLIDAY WEEKEND.

YOU CAN SEE THE INFLUENCE OF SOME TROPICAL MOISTURE MAKING ITS WAY ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

LOCALIZED FLOODING POSSIBLE.

VERY HUMID CONDITIONS NEAR THE COAST, AND STILL DEALING WITH SIGNIFICANT RIP CURRENTS.

SO SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT FOR THE UPCOMING HOLIDAY WEEKEND.

AS FOR THE NEXT FIVE DAYS, TEMPERATURES AROUND 80 DEGREES ACROSS THE COAST WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS STARTING TO COME UP.

THAT'S THE SIGN THAT THE HUMIDITY IS BEGINNING TO INCREASE.

INLAND TEMPERATURES COOL A BIT BY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY INTO THAT 84, 85 DEGREES WITH PLENTY OF SUNSHINE.

AND THEN AS WE LOOK AT THE FORECAST FROM MOUNTAIN LOCATIONS, WE'LL BE 70 WITH SUNSHINE TUESDAY AND THEN DROPPING A FEW DEGREES BY THURSDAY WITH SOME HAZY SUNSHINE FRIDAY AND WATCH FOR A THUNDERSTORM IN SPOTS AS WE HEAD INTO THE DAY SATURDAY.

DESERT LOCATIONS WILL GET QUITE WINDY AND STAYS HOT WITH SOME TRIPLE DIGIT HEAT ON THE WAY, ALTHOUGH WE'LL SEE TEMPERATURES COME BACK DOWN INTO THE LOWER 90s AS WE HEAD INTO THE DAY ON SATURDAY.

FOR KPBS NEWS.

>>> THE SAN DIEGO CENTRAL LIBRARY HAS A NEW COLLECTION OF BOOKS IN ITS CHILDREN'S SECTION.

KPBS EDUCATION REPORTER KATIE TELLS US HOW DECODABLE BOOKS HELP PARENTS TEACH THEIR KIDS HOW TO READ.

>> I THINK THERE'S A GENERAL PERCEPTION THAT IF YOU SIMPLY READ TO YOUR CHILDREN OFTEN ENOUGH THAT YOUR CHILDREN WILL LEARN HOW TO READ.

ALMOST AUTOMATICALLY.

BUT JUST LIKE WE CAN LISTEN TO A LOT OF MOZART AND NOT BECOME A PIANO PLAYER, IT'S THE SAME THING HERE.

>> WHEN THIS LITTLE GIRL WAS 4 YEARS OLD, SHE HAD TROUBLE MATCHING LETTERS TO SOUNDS.

SHE HAS DYSLEXIA AND ARIA STARTED LOOKING FOR RESOURCES.

LIBRARIAN EMILY DAIRY SAYS PARENTS TEACHING THEIR KIDS HOW TO READ MIGHT LOOK FOR BOOKS LABELED BEGINNING READER.

>> THIS IS PROBABLY WHERE MY SON IS GOING TO START.

>> Reporter: INSIDE, THE SENTENCES ARE SIMPLE.

BUT THE WORDS ARE COMPLICATED.

>> WE HAVE THE TH SOUNDS THAT COME TOGETHER TO MAKE A DIFFERENT SOUND, RIGHT?

WE HAVE THE DOUBLE E.

>> Reporter: A NEW BOOK COLLECTION AT THE SAN DIEGO CENTRAL LIBRARY TEACHES THOSE LETTER SOUND COMBINATIONS ONE BY ONE.

THEY'RE CALLED DECODABLE BOOKS.

>> IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE BEEN WANTING TO DO FOR A WHILE BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT IT'S HARD TO FIND BOOKS IN THE COLLECTION THAT MEET THE CHILDREN WHERE THEY'RE AT.

>> Reporter: THEY START WITH SIMPLE STRUCTURES.

LIKE CONSONANT, VOWEL, CONSONANT.

>> LIKE IN THIS SERIES, THE SHORT A SOUND, ZACH'S CAT ON DAD'S LAP.

>> Reporter: BUILD THEIR ABILITY TO SOUND OUT WORDS EVEN IF THEY'VE NEVER SEEN THEM BEFORE.

ARIA SAYS DECODABLE BOOKS MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE FOR HER DAUGHTER.

>> WE READ ALL OF THOSE BOOKS ENOUGH TIMES WHERE SHE COULD READ THEM WITH FLUENCY, WHERE SHE COULD -- WHERE SHE WASN'T DECODING EVERY SINGLE WORD ALL THE TIME.

>> SHE WANTED OTHER FAMILIES TO HAVE THE SAME RESOURCE.

SHE WORKED WITH LOCAL ADVOCATES TO BRING A COLLECTION OF DECODABLE BOOKS TO THE CENTRAL LIBRARY.

>> I'M ABSOLUTELY THRILLED THIS IS AVAILABLE, AND I JUST -- I HOPE THAT WE CAN SEE EVERY SINGLE LIBRARY IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY CREATE SIMILAR RESOURCE.

>> FAMILIES CAN FIND THE DECODABLE BOOK SHELF BEHIND THE FRONT DESK IN THE CHILDREN'S SECTION OF THE CENTRAL LIBRARY.

>>> YOU CAN FIND TONIGHT'S STORIES ON OUR WEBSITE, KPBS.ORG.
