BLITZER: New developments today on that 9-year-old boy who hopped a flight from Minneapolis to Las Vegas with no adult present and no ticket. Today, his father appeared before cameras, his face hidden, because he wants to remain anonymous. He says he tried to get his son some help but couldn't. Listen to this.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FATHER OF STOWAWAY BOY: He's not what you call an honest dude. OK? He had his ups, he had his downs. And you know, the principal gives me a phone call saying my son's doing this, doing that. I go up to the school and sit down with the principal, we talked. OK? We put in a plan for the services he needed. But I'm just hoping it's not too late for somebody to please help me.</s>BLITZER: What a story that is. That's it for me this hour. I'll be back in one hour, 3:00 p.m. eastern, for special coverage of Janet Yellen's nomination as chair of the Federal Reserve, then again, back at 5:00 p.m. eastern in "The Situation Room." NEWSROOM will continue right after this with Brooke Baldwin.
