Sanders. The great thing about america is anybody can grow up to be president. Oh, i guess that might be true. He was a pharmaceutical executive that never imagined a drug would lead to his own sons death. Are you saying theyre experiments on kids. Millions of children are taking psychiatric drugs. Is the system failing our kids. They would not talk to us on camera. So we come here for a Public Meeting. Lets go inside. What may be the police force of the future. This is one of the toughest neighborhoods of the country. The community was at war with the cops. Tonight, a new model for the nation. Are you at a staying out of trouble . I dont want you getting hurt. The police dlt had to give up on the idea that Police Departments should be warriors. You suppress crime. This is a revolution. Date line on assignment starts now. Welcome to on assignment. The unrest in baltimore, examples of what can happen with police and the people theyre sworn to protect are at odds. And weve seen it in communities across this country but a bold new plan in a tough neighborhood is changing that and it may hold the answer for other cities. I have been called a social worker with the gun. The liberal cop. Shes in lala land but you have to think outside of the box. Los Angeles Police sergeant believes she has the answer to the crisis facing many Police Departments across the country. And it starts with two simple words. Im sorry. If we can understand the hatred and the mistrust and apologize for it. Then you have your break through and you begin to make real change. The sergeant could not have chosen a more challenging community to put her philosophy to the test once. And this gang ridden Los Angeles Neighborhood can sometimes feel like riding through a war zone. And history is always riding shotgun. And erupted in riots in 1965. What at times felt like a police state. Its residents on the verge. I think it was clear from the moment i set foot there 30 years agatha the community was at war with with the cops. Civil rights lawyer connie rice has been battling to force the lapd to change its ways for years. The predators saw the community as arrest numbers and people they can beat with their batons and shoots with the community and cops that love a kmun. She din need to learn to love watts. She spent much of her childhood here. Needs to throw rocks at the trains. She moved away when she was nine before the crack epidemic. Before the brutal gang wars and before los angeles was rocked by what happened to rodney king. I remember saying out loud i cant believe this is happening. But at that moment i remember saying to myself i want to join lapd so that i can make a difference in the community because it hurt. She joined the lapd in 1995 and quickly moved up the ranks. Her husband phil is an assistant Bureau Commander and they have six kids between them. In 2007 she was assigned there. When i saw what drugs and gangs needed to do to the community i knew we needed to do police work differently. She was working with the lapd to change the way it was policed. I said i want 50 cops. I want them trained to learn to trust and to win the trust of the community. These are trust cops. The program rice and the lapd created in 2011 was called the Community Safety partnership or csp. We are asking the officers to learn and understand the cultures of the kmuns that theyre working in and to use arrests as a last result. But thats counter everything they were taught about you suppress crime. You arrest people. The stuff that most of us understand about police work. It is. Officers started patrolling watts on foot and engaged breakfast oneonone. At first they were met with suspicion. They were to tear about the community. The officers were required to do something Ground Breaking to change minds. Theyre participating in community projects. Whats up, man. You always looking fresh and clean. Officer Erin Thompson escorts kids to and from school and hes also a counselor to boys who are at risk. I was one of those kids growing up in atmospheres like this where parents were on drugs. Where homeless a couple of times and officers say why do you give them so much love like that. That could have easily been me. Easily. Public Housing Development and he also tutors kids there. He says forming this relationship helped him become a more effective cop. I dont need you getting shot man. A fight broke out at a gym. Whats the tone man. This is the type of incident. At first he one getting anywhere. I cant remember a conversation with you. So he sought out older residents the local gang would listen to. Hes off the hook. They don bring heat on anybody unnecessarily. This kind of kmun policing is making a difference and has the statistics to improve it. Just under 50 . Vie len crime. Murders, rapes, robberies, 50 . Baltimore, ferguson, do you think you have built up enough in the reservoir that you can prevent that sort of thing from happening here . Id like to say yes. I also know that if we dont keep working at it, it could happen. Police departments have to give up on this idea that Police Officers should be warriors and theyre going to have to adopt a new idea that we juan Police Officers that are guardians. Brian stevenson is a civil rights attorney and best selling author that writes about issues of justice. Hes also a member of a president ial task force on 21st century policing. He says cops cant do it alone. People in the community have to take responsibility for pushing the police to be more responsive. But for also engaging other members in the community that legitimately dont think the police will ever change. We have to forgive first. And that is exactly what is happening in watts. Members of the Gang Task Force and other community leaders, some of them former gang members thelss now collaborate with police. A lot of kids were getting killed and a lot were ending up on drugs and thats what started changing my views about things. Another thing is that the police started changing. Once they started seeing the work that we were doing in the community then it started bridging. They started seeing you as a resource. We were an asset and not a liability and we demanded one thing. Respect. We can hold people in our kmun accountable. But yall have to hold yourself accountable. But no matter howell the community and police Work Together watts can still be a dangerous place. While we were there gang attacks at two housing twop ms rocked the area. It created a huge sense of fear and anxiety. To quite things down the lapd brought in police units from outside watts. They confronted and free conventionally arrested gang members. Csp officer Erin Thompson new that the unfamiliar cops would be more aggressive so he prepared the people on his beat. I wanted to warn yall that the hanging out and all of that stuff, but when officers come through and they see that they are going to jump out on yall. Thats a bold thing when you think about it. Police officers telling the police theres more police coming. Thats part of our transparency. We now told me that we care and we care by bringing Additional Resources to stop the crime. But that Additional Police presence can cause conflicts. How do you expect to get respect when youre not respecting us. The community became inf infuriated when Police Arrested three people coming home from a barbecue. They accused them of harassment and wrongful imprisonment and at a meeting several years later the community let her have it. So you put everyone in that neighborhood under the same umbrella. If theyre a man and theyre black, theyre a criminal. As they were speak as good there something inside of you that said were unraveling our good work here. This relationship were trying to build is so fragile. We are trying to work with this Community Without dealing is everybody is a thug, everybody is a gangster. I dont want to broad brush the community and i dont think its fair for the police to get broad brushed as well when were working so hard to change the perception of Law Enforcement in this community. I know you. I give you a thumbs up. But theres some officers i dont like because they dont like me. Its not perfect a lot of times. Theres still conflict but at the same time there is something inside of me saying this is amazing. Nobody got up and walked out of the room. We all listened. We had created a platform. That special partnership is garnering national attention. In 2015 she and her husband phil were invited to president obamas state of the Union Address by the first lady and the president s task force cited csp as a model. If we make progress and one of the place where is the uprising and the violence have been for decades then no one has an excuse for resisting these strategies anywhere in this country and thats a very hopeful thing. Were proud of this program and excited and we want to see it grow. In a place that has seen so many candle light vigils, the community now gathers in prayer to commemorate young lives saved not lost. We have to get back to just loving one another. Ten years ago, this scene would have been unimaginable and when amada takes the mike she has a word for it. This is a revolution. Thats it. And this is the momentum that we need to make this community safe. You can start on a Street Corner giving a smile and immersing yourself in that community. And if you can get a community to forgive, forgive is powerful. They start to see beyond the uniform. They start to see you. They start to see you. Coming up.

Scholls stimulating step insoles. Our next story is a cautionary tale of how the Mental Health industry serves our kids. At the center a dad that found himself doing everything he could to save his struggling son. A dad it turns out who knows a lot about that industry. Kate snow reports from new jersey. This is 10yearold andrew francesco. Racing down the hill near his new jersey home on a snowboard he got for christmas. His dad steven cheering him on. All right. That was good. This is it. He wanted to show me the exact spot. What do you think of when you look at that. I couldnt believe it. Thats my son. Thats my son. It was a rare moment of joy for steven and andrew. Most days werent like that. Andrew had been struggling with behavioral problems since preschool. As loving and groofy as he could be. He could also be impulsive, disruptive, sometimes exploding with rage. Im passing this park right here. We had a huge fight there once. At times he was impossible. Andrew spent a lot of time riding in the car with his parents to doctors appointments and pharmacies. And would walk in and walk out. Hoping we had an answer. I have a list here. How many drugs was andrew on over the next few years . The astonishing thing about this list is this is nine years of his life. He has at least a dozen different drugs. Did you get to a point where you didnt want to make any decisions about medicine. Anybody thats had children that have Mental Health problems knows how challenging and demanding it is and overtime you just get worn down. When he turned 14 andrews doctors gave him a new diagnosis. Obsessive compulsive disorder and a new drug seroquel for a category called a typical antipsychotics. They said it could help manage the anger. So its to treat the symptom not psychosis. Because you hear antipsychotic you would think its made for someone who has a real psychosis. A real psychosis. One morning in 2009, a year after andrew started taking seroquel in high doses steven found him in bed struggling to breathe and called 911. When everything happened is this the way you went . Yes. This is the way we went. I was in the back of the ambulance with andrew. You can start to see the hospital. This is the place where andrew was born. Its also the place where he died. The place where he died. Thats why its so hard. Andrew had died from an extremely rare side effect of taking antipsychotics even though it was listed on the packaging, steven said he never heard of it before. This was an adverse side effect to taking high doses of seroquel. As prescribed by a doctor. Thats right. After andrews death steven was in shock grieving but also feeling guilty. He thought he of all people should have been able to protect his son. First of all i want to thank the fda for allowing me to speak at the forum. Because steven wasnt just a desperate parent. He was also a drug industry insider. I have 30 years in the pharmaceutical industry. 21 years mail order company. You rubbed shoulders with executives. All the time. Doctors, regulators. Absolutely. You are a pharma guy helping sell pharmaceuticals and helping increase access to pharmaceuticals and your own son dies of side effects. Its the ultimate irony. Its part of what i agonize over when i thought how could this have happened to me. Steven started digging and discovered something. His son was one of hundreds of thousands of kids taking drugs that it turns out doctors may not know much about. That antipsychotic, seroquel was not approved by the fda at that time for kids. Only for adults. His doctor had prescribed it off label. Andrew was, in a sense, a guinea pig. They were testing whether this drug would work on him. But the doctors are allowed to do that. They go off what the label says and guess that it might help andrew. Thats correct. And theyre hoping. Steven found thats true for the vast majority of kids taking antipsychotics. Doctors prescribe them off label to treat anything from aggression to adhd to eating disorders and yet only limited Clinical Trials have been done on kids to test whether these drugs work for those conditions. About one in every 80 or 85 kids are receiving an antipsychotic sometime during the course of the year. Columbia University Professor is a leader researcher on the prescription of antipsychotics. He says more and more kids are getting them for unapproved uses. Is it safe . Well, there are some safety concerns with these medications. Many of them result in weight gain. They can increase things like cholesterol and then theres longer term things that are hard to study. So we know less about the effects of these drugs on the developing brain. Steven says it all ams to a vast off label experiment on kids and he thinks the pharmaceutical industry, his industry, is the one profiting. Theres a lot of very aggressive marketing of these drugs to the doctors. Attorney james pepper says he has the evidence. He represents a former sales rep for astrazeneca. She says the company pushed her to pitch unapproved uses to the doctors. That is against fda regulations. They look at the bottom line. All about sales all the time. He shows us a Company Report listing doctors whose client and other sales reps called on about an extended release seroquel. Some of them are child psychiatrists. Youre not supposed to pitch drugs off label, right . Correct. But theyre sending her to place where is those doctors would have to be prescribing off label. Thats absolutely correct there was no other way for a doctor that treats children to prescribe it except for to prescribe to a child is an off label usage. Pepper is representing his client in two whistleblower lawsuits against astrazeneca. They asked the court to dismiss one of the cases. This isnt the first time they have been accused of improperly marketing seroquel. In 2010 the paid half billion dollar fine after a department of justice civil investigation into how it sold seroquel including for use in children. Astrazeneca declined to talk to us on camera but never pushed its sales reps to market seroquel off label. It trains its employees to meet or exceed industry standards and comply with the law and promote medicines in accordance with fda regulations. Steven thinks the fda is part of the problem. As far as im concerned the fda in terms of regulatory activity is getting weaker and yet theres huge amounts of medication canning poured down kids throats. Less than a year after andrews death the fda did approve it for use in kids with severe conditions. But doctors continue to subscribe it off label even to children younger than 2. We wanted to ask fda officials about the off label prescription of antipsychotics in children and what theyre doing to keep kids safe. They would not talk to us on camera so we have come here outside of washington d. C. To a Public Meeting behind these doors. Theyre talking about seroquel and its safety in kids. We invited steven to come along and watch too. Its strange being here because of what i know about this and how it changed my life. A routine safety debut. A scientist presented data about reported side effects to an Advisory Panel of independent doctors. One of the kids that died was a 4yearold. Some doctors have questions about off label use. Would it bear labeling to state theres no data to support use of this in attention Deficit Syndrome . In the end they opted to keep monitoring the drug. We listened to them talk about data from 2011 to 2012. Safety of seroquel in kids. Isnt that what theyre supposed to be doing . Theyre well intentioned but it isnt enough. Why not . Because after all the discussion its status quo. There is no such thing as a drug thats 100 safe whether its on label or off label. Hes a former associate committee. And keep kids safe and the agency can and does encourage companies to do more trials and cant tell doctors how to Practice Medicine and stop them from prescribing all off label. His sons death is an indication of a much bigger problem. Do you agree or is he overgeneralizing . Well, clearly the system didnt work for him. It failed for his son. So there are many, many millions of people who are are regularly helped through off label use of products. Kids and nearly everyone we spoke to from the fda to the drug industry to doctors all agree that more data on kids is needed. We need far more studies that are looking at effectiveness and safety of these drugs as theyre actually being used in the community. If you had to describe the Childrens Mental Health industry, how would you describe it in a sense . I can do it in a word. Its broken. Its broken. Steven hasnt given up on the industry. He is still a consultant but he has recently set up the website where he hopes doctors and parents will share information about off label psychiatric drugs and he has written a book overmedicated and undertreated. Its a difficult read. Its a difficult subject. Did you ever imagine that you would end up here . No. Across from the hospital where stevens son was born and then died he had one last thing to show me. The spot where father and son scratched their initials in wet concrete. Side by side. A lasting mark from happier times. Coming up whats living in that beard . David letterman on the late night show he left and the family life he loved. Im so in love with my son. He was 12 now.

Now back to date line on assignment. He gave us late night laughs for 33 years. We havent seen much of David Letterman. Tonight a rare guest appearance. His first tv interview since his tv retirement last year. Heres tom brokaw. What i think america wants to know having seen you all those years on television, whats living in that beard . Is it nesting something there or likely. We have a guy coming out here later. I always myself when the show goes away i will stop shaving. I have to shave every day until i was 68. Roughly every day. And i got so sick and tired of it. If we win the indianapolis 500 ill shave. Bearded David Letterman was back in his hometown as a team owner to watch the indy 500 on the big day. He returns to indianapolis. But also just a neighborhood kid who made good. Modest, unassuming, middle american to the core. Look at how nice the neighborhood is. This is exactly the way it was when i was a kid. We stopped by the house where he grew up. His parents bought it for 8,000. 8,000. 2 bedroom house and years later when my mom moved out of there she sold it for 30 million. Hes been paid the big bucks for so long he no longer has any frame of reference. Folks on the block now couldnt believe he came home and asked about some neighborhood memories. You know i heard a story about the people that lived across the street and somebody broke their arm. Me. Is that you . Yeah. This one, scars right there. Broke my arm, yeah and i broke my leg in that backyard. And later i broke my nose down there playing football in the schoolyard. But that wasnt the end of his injuries. At his High School David told us about the class boy. And the word got back to me that he is going to get me. I remember the day coming back here and he beat me up. I get beat up for for no good reason. Im sure theres a good reason tom. You dont get a beating just for the fun of it. But just for the fun of it in one of his Old High School hang outs to look back at his career and look ahead at his life but first absent minded dave forgot his trademark classes. Im going to look like somebody nobody knows. Is there a lenses crafters near here . Yes there is and david returned with an overthe counter pair of spectacles. Im very sorry for the delay. Its all my fault. Excuse me. Do you miss every night . No. You know, i dont and its interesting i thought for sure i would. And then the first day of stevens show when he when on air, an energy left me and i felt like that is not my problem anymore and i felt that way ever since. I devoted so much time to the damage of other aspects of my life, concentrated, fixated focussing on that, its good now to not have that. I couldnt care less about late night television. Im happy for the guys, men and women should be more women and i dont know why they didnt give my show to a woman. That would have been fine. Did they ask you about who should replace you . No, they didnt ask me about anything. They were just happy i was going. So now davids favorite role is dad. Im so in love with my son who is 12 now. I think hes here. Is harry here . There he is right over there. Actually harry wasnt there. David keeps him out of the spotlight. Im sure you didnt regret that you didnt have him earlier. No but it could have happened much, much earlier. But no i was tv boy and i didnt and im happy to have harry. I wish harry had a brother or a sister, you know . One or two but thank god because look at me. We just got in under the wire. And i mean we were barely let in. He might have some regrets about starting a family so late in life but he was married to his career. He did more than 6,000 shows in 33 years in late night. Ill be honest with you, its beginning to look like im not going to get the tonight show. You ordered something a couple of tacos or something, chicken something and a burrito supreme with no meat; is that correct . Shes gone already, chief. I am supposed to have braces when i was a kid but i didnt. My parents used the money for a wet bar downstairs. Growing up he wanted to be like his idol, Johnny Carson. Heres johnny. Carson was another midwesterner. Nebraska. Who started small. So did dave. It opportunity get much smaller than a College Radio station. When you were doing that i know you wanted to be on a big radio show but were you also saying maybe i can carry this all the way to loss angels he is or new york . No, all of that happened by accident. Im not a man of vision but i am now thanks to these new glasses. When you and i were trying to get on television and nobody did and everybody in here has their own show for gods sake. On his first day reading the headlines his dad was watching. In the story somebody was being honored and i got a call from my dad and he said, you know thats postumously and i said what did i say . First timeout. I had never seen the word. I went to ball state. Well i introduced somebody one time on a pa system at the university of south dakota as the Athletic Director ameritis. The next day he said brokaw ive had arthritis and a little gout but never ameritis. Well now i dont feel so bad. Dave learned more than pronunciation. He did all of his quirky style and at age 27 headed to los angeles. For now this is Dave Letterman wishing you a pleasant good night. Why california . California is where Johnny Carson was and i knew from watching the tonight show that there was a place called the comedy store where anybody could get up on stage and try to make people laugh. You work in the comedy show from the comedy store you get to be on the tonight show. Daves routines caught the attention of carsons scouts and after two years David Letterman. David. The kind of thing ill always remember as long as i live growing up in indiana is when dad used to tease me with the power tools. How many of you i was terrified by the guy. People would say to me what was that hike sitting next to Johnny Carson and i would say it would be like getting on a city bus and you look over and holy crap its abraham lincoln. Ive seen this guy on the 5 bill all my why are you riding it was like that. And i never got out from under it. Even after knowing carson for more than 30 years. Dave was still intimidated. The last time i saw him, he and his wife had a boat and they ended up the hudson on the west side and they said would you like to come and have dinner on the boat with us. Well the truth of it is, i didnt. I was just terrified. But he said yes. It was a beautiful evening sailing around manhattan. Johnny had a little bit too much wine and he had a little edge to him and here we are in the middle of the hudson and im thinking oh hes going to turn on me and so what i did i started talking to him about jack benny. His hero. Everything settled down. He was more complicated than people realize. He was not the guy next door in some ways. Demons. Who among us doesnt have some. When johnny died in 2005 we found out that he wrote jokes for dave like this one. Theres two man made things that were visible. And they were from 50 miles up. One is the great wall of china and the other Donald Trumps hair. That was 11 years ago. What does dave think of donald trump today. Coming up. Thats part of the way we set it up. Good luck. You both have a perfect driving record. Yeah. Now you would think your Insurance Company would cut you some slack, right . No. Your insurance rates go through the roof. Your perfect record doesnt get you anything. Anything. Perfect. For drivers with accident forgiveness, Liberty Mutual wont raise your rates due to your first accident.

The turbocharged dream machine. The Volkswagen Golf gti. Named one of car and drivers 10best, 10 years in a row. Back at his Old High SchoolDavid Letterman told us he doesnt miss latenight television. But when asked about this years chaotic campaign, he zeroed in on donald trump. I understand that hes repugnant to people. I understand that he says things that are insulting and hurtful and revialing. I understand all of that. I dont know whether hes serious. I dont know what his problem is. I dont know if theres pathology there. I dont know any of that. But you tell me the men putting together the constitution, witnessing this election, wouldnt they have just said, well, its part of the way we set it up, good luck. Youre absolutely right. He didnt cheat. Right. Theres nothing illegal going on. Its just hes despicable. In this very school and everybodys school you hear the great thing about america is anybody can grow up to be president. Oh, geez, i guess that might be true. Hes now spending a lot of time on projects that represent his other interests. For two weeks he was in india doing an upcoming documentary for the National Geographic channel. And he appeared at the 75th anniversary of one of his favorite charities, the uso. And i said who do you think i am . And he said, walt whitman . And he wants to get involved in even more causes. I always told my friends i would like to go to somalia and unload sacks of rice out of the back end of a c130. I dont want it to be the David Letterman this. Im not going to have a big fundraiser where people are oh, you get to play miniature golf with regis. Were not going to do that. But hes also got time to indulge himself a bit. He was consumed by a certain race. Ive said if we dont win the 100th running i have plans, very detailed plans to fake my own death. And youll never see me again. You might get a mysterious email from me. But you wont know anything more. It was the 100th running of the indianapolis 500. The biggest single sporting event on the planet. More than 350,000 people in attendance. And there he was. Back home again in indiana not just as a spectator but as a racing team owner. Just a few miles from where he grew up. Ill tell you, and i dont know what it says about my upbringing. I never thought id actually get to come to the race itself. We were always of the impression no, were not going to the race because its too expensive. The admission then was just a few dollars. Now hes worth hundreds of millions. For the son of indianapolis, the big race is life itself. His team driver is graeme rahal, the son of indy legend bobby rahal.
