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.

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 . We
