one game. that's how great winning feels. >> announcer: this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota, let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." we've got some big news this morning because there's a new report that the trump administration is sending babies and other young children to so-called tender age shelters, and that is fueling new outrage over its border policy. the associated press reports the government is housing these young children in at least three special detention facilities in south texas. >> tender age is typically defined as 12 and under by the department of homeland security. houston's mayor says the administration plans to open another tender age shelter in that city. cbs san antonio affiliate kens says some of these young

children are being housed in brownsville, texas. so david begnaud traveled there overnight. >> reporter: good morning. this is the casa el presidente behind me. we haven't been given access inside. we did ask a worker whether children here had been separated from their parents. the man told us he couldn't confirm that. we've been trying to get a real life assessment of what's happening at the border, so we went on a ride-along with border patrol. we saw 16 people detained. some ran, others cooperated. here's more of what we saw. raul ortiz, deputy chief for the rio grande valley sector in south texas, wanted us to see the exact spot where he says more people enter the u.s. illegally than anywhere else along the border. have you gone a day on the job where you didn't encounter someone crossing illegally? >> no, i haven't. >> reporter: ortiz said people will enter illegally even if they see the border patrol waiting on them even . even if that means coming into

your arms and your handcuffs? >> most definitely. >> reporter: it's worth the risk. >> for them, it's worth the risk. >> reporter: it was worth it for this family of five from honduras. they said they left on a bus several months ago and were trying to get to dallas. hello, my name is david. what is your name? yolanda's daughter angie is 8 months old. that's her brother, her sister, and her mom maria. maria told him the family was escaping violence in honduras, and they knew the risk they were taking. even though you're going to be detained, is it worth it to you anyway? her answer was translated by border patrol agent sergio tonoko. >> everybody knows there's help for families here in the united states, so the risk is valid to them. >> reporter: i can sense the empathy in your voice. what goes through your mind when you come upon a group of people like this? >> all of us are from this area. we all grew up here. we're all human, nonetheless.

but we still have to do our job. >> reporter: that meant temporarily seizing their belongings and loading them on to a bus for a processing center. 30 minutes later, chief ortiz told us a group of men were running from his agents. he took us to the scene, jumped out, and gave chase, catching one of the suspects. in all, 13 men allegedly ran through this orchard using bushes as cover. only five were captured. searched, handcuffed, and taken away. now, those men were taken to a facility in mcallen, processed, and read their miranda rights. as for the honduran family we introduced you to, chief ortiz told us they will not be separated and here's why. he said it's because they all traveled as a family unit and because of that 8-month-old baby that was with them. however, we cannot report to you that that same thought process is being used for all other families like that. >> all right, david. thank you very much. so far, the photos that have been released from the detention centers go not show any girls in them. that's raising a lot of concerns

about where those children are. customs officials released these photos showing boys in a holding facility. the department of health and human services has not been able to tell us or will not tell us where the girls separated from the families are being sent. >> the obama administration's former acting head of immigration and customs enforcement said yesterday that sometimes families separated at the border are never reunited. just think about that. >> i can't. >> no. he says a parent may be deported before the child's case goes to an immigration judge. mireya villarreal spoke to a public defender. >> they're crying. they're begging. they're pleading. they're asking us for all of the obvious questions, which are where's my daughter, son, how long are they going to be there, how can i help them, how are you going to help me. these are all the questions. i mean, with tears, sobbing

uncontrollably. this will go on for over an hour. >> u.s. customs and border protection says various government organizations work to facilitate regular communication between detained parents and their children. but the question is why aren't these parents allowed to be with their children? why aren't they allowed to talk with their children? why don't they know where their children are on top of everything else? now we have the new report this morning that according to one expert that toddlers are being detained. >> this is the thing. zero tolerance should not be zero compassion. when you sit and talk to these people, you really realize. i think you can feel the pain through the tv screen. to be told you could possibly not even ever see your child again makes no sense to me, and we're sitting here watching this happen. >> what we're seeing is the zero tolerance policy that was implemented in a way with no preparation to handle all of these toddlers and babies. they're going to these places, but they don't have the

facilities. they're just trying to catch up with this new policy. >> that's why we will continue to shine a light on this story. >> agreed. lawmakers are scram bling fr a way to end the controversial family separation policy. senators from both parties are expected to meet today to come up with a plan to reunite families along the southern border. president trump huddled behind closed doors with house republicans last night but did not formally endorse a legislative fix. ed o'keefe is on capitol hill. >> reporter: good morning, john. during that meeting last night, as you said, the president showed up, told them, figure it out, but didn't give them any specifics. there's growing concern among republicans that the administration's decision to continue separating families could cost republican seats in the midterm elections. president trump went into his meeting with house republicans optimistic, telling them he would support either bill they're set to vote on this week that would overhaul the nation's immigration laws and keep families together who enter the country illegally. >> these are laws that have been

broken f broken for many years, decades. >> reporter: it was a reversal from earlier tuesday when the president said he wasn't budging on the zero tolerance policy. >> when you prosecute the parents for coming in illegally, which should happen, you have to take the children away. >> reporter: images of children being separated from their parents and held in cages at federal facilities are causing headaches for house republicans ahead of november's elections. >> he really wants to make sure we can reunify families, and the bill we worked on with the president does just that. >> reporter: senate republicans are also vowing to quickly find a solution. >> we're going to fix the problem. the president says we need to act. the democrats say we need to act. and we say we need to act. so when that happens, we act. >> reporter: but democrats are increasingly frustrated with the president. >> this was a policy invented, implemented, and executed by president donald trump. >> mr. president! don't you have kids? don't you have kids, mr.

president? >> reporter: as tensions escalated in washington, a group of protesters confronted homeland security secretary nielsen as she ate dinner at a mexican restaurant. >> end family separation! if kids don't eat in peace, you don't eat in peace! >> reporter: mean while, a group of 13 gop senators has written to the justice department asking them to pause the separation of immigrant families while congress works out a solution. as for that bipartisan meeting happening here on capitol hill today, it's been hosted by main republican senator susan collins. we're told to expect an equal number of democrats and republicans. here's the thing. she hosted similar meetings earlier this year on the same exact topic, and the talks went nowhere. we'll see if this time is any different. gayle? >> thank you, ed. it's so hard to figure out what secretary nielsen was thinking. is she just giving a middle finger to the situation, or is she just tone deaf? you would think of all nights, maybe you might have chinese that night. you look at that, and it doesn't make any sense.

>> difficult. i think she ended up walking out of the restaurant. >> i understand why. >> we'll have more on the detentions in our next half hour. new information this morning about a former investigator for special counsel robert mueller now being investigated by the n bi. agent peter struck was marched out of the bureau's offices on friday after an inspector general's report revealed more anti-trump text messages that struck sent while working on the hillary clinton e-mail probe. paula reed is at the fbi headquarters with more on this story. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. struck's attorney tells me that he will fight to keep his job here at the fbi, even though republican lawmakers and an independent watchdog have accused him of tainting two of the biggest political investigations in u.s. history. >> the texts are there. you can read them. you have to be an idiot not to realize they're totally biased. >> reporter: late tuesday night, president trump's lawyer rudy giuliani slammed the justice department about politically charged text messages between fbi agent peter strzok and

former fbi lawyer lisa page. >> the investigators now need to be investigated if we're going to see justice here. >> reporter: on capitol hill tuesday, republican lawmakers grilled justice department inspector general michael horowitz about the fbi's handling of the clinton e-mail probe. >> february, march of 2016, peter strzok said trump's abysmal, hillary should win 100 million to zero. >> reporter: strzok and page worked on the clinton e-mail probe and the russian investigation. they were then assigned to the special counsel's team but were removed when the texts were recovered. the inspector general has recommended strzok and page for disciplinary proceedings over their text messages along with three other fbi employees he declines to publicly name. the president also seized on the text messages. >> let me tell you, we got some

bad people that are doing bad things. >> he feels terrible about it. >> reporter: strzok's attorney says his client is devastated that his own words are being used to undermine the fbi. >> pete would be the first to admit that it was a mistake to send these texts. he sent them with the expectation that they would remain private. >> reporter: strzok has agreed to testify before congress without immunity and without invoking the fifth amendment. i asked his lawyer why mr. strzok would agree to such a public and likely very bruising hearing, and he told me that his client wants a chance to tell his story and does not want to allow republicans to paint him or his actions unfairly. norah? >> paula, thanks. a very serious story, but you hear the lawyer saying he thought these were going to remain private. well, yeah, that's the problem. >> it's 2018. these things -- once you type it, it's there, even when you hit delete. you know that. this morning, air travelers face a new level of attention at airport check points.

the tsa will now inspect passengers' carry-on bags for powdered material. that's anything from cosmetic to drink mixes. chris van cleave is at newark liberty international outside. chris, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. beginning today when you come to the airport check point, you're going to start to hear tsa officers asking you to take larger containers of powder out of your bags, things above 350 milliliters. that's equivalent to a can of coke. and it's going to be just the same way you do your laptop or powders and gels. they want to give that secondary screening so they can look closer at those items. now, the tsa is checking a range of items like powder cosmetics, baby powders, and drink mixes, even protein powder. at this point, passengers will be encouraged but typically not required to pack those item into their checked bags. that's really the preference here. the tsa would like to see you

check them. similar to food items, officers may recommend pulling smaller containers of powder out of your bag for separate screening. the new regulations are meant to reduce the chances explosive material or a debilitating agent like pepper spray can get on board an airplane. also, those powders can look like explosive material on an x-ray, which can lead to extended bag lines. bottom line, you're going to start hearing language the tsa and airlines would prefer you to check large containers of powder more than 350 milliliters. you'll still be able to carry them on if you need to have it with you, but you'll need to take it out of your carry-on bag. these rules only apply in the standard lanes, not in the precheck lanes. >> chris, thanks. more than a foot of rain in texas is flooding roads and forcing water rescues. flash flood watches and warnings are in effect this morning. courtney zubowski is in corpus christi. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this has been one of the areas of concern in corpus christi. last night the site of many

water rescues. many here in texas, including those who are still recovering from hurricane harvey, have been affected by this heavy rain. here in corpus christi, the fire department was spread thin across the city overnight rescuing drivers who were trapped in their cars by the raging flood waters. in port arthur, more than 12 inches of rain flooded streets, forcing drivers to abandon their cars in the middle of roadways. and more than a dozen homes in orange county were damaged after rising flood waters rushed in. many of these homes flooded during hurricane harvey last august and were in the process of being rebuilt. the rain is expected to last through thursday. the threat of flooding continues, so people on edge hoping that their homes stay safe. >> thank you very much, courtney, doing that without an umbrella and driving three hours to get there. we really appreciate it. thank you. for the first time, we're hearing from an american graduate student who was arrested in vietnam last week. 32-year-old william nguyen was

beaten and dragged following demonstrations. benn tracy is following the story from tokyo. >> reporter: good morning. william nguyen is a second-generation vietnamese american. he was visiting before graduating from the university of singapore next month. his sister says their family has not been able to speak with him since he was arrested ten days ago. this is one of the last times william nguyen was seen in public. video shows his bloodied face as police drag him through a kroutd -- crowd of protesters in ohio ch -- ho chi minh city. >> he's very interested in the development of vietnamese society. >> reporter: nguyen was one of thousands of people protesting a controversial proposed law that would allow long-term land leases to china. according to the state-run vietnam news agency, he's

accused of disturbing public order and was reportedly one of hundreds of people detained. in a taped video confession, nguyen appears to say, i understand that my acts violated the law. i regret that i caused trouble for people heading to the airport. communist vietnam has a history of both forced confessions and suppressing free speech. they are now on capitol hill fighting for william's release. at least three democratic lawmakers are calling on president trump to help secure his freedom. the state department would not comment on specifics, but last week a spokesman told "the washington post" that a counselor officer visited nguyen and said he is in good health. >> we feel like we've been doing everything we can. >> and we want their efforts to match ours. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," benn tracy, tokyo. >> ben, thanks. it's 7:19. time to check your local weather.

♪ good morning to our viewers in the west. it's wednesday, june 20th, 2018. welcome back to "cbs this morning." ahead, one of the republicans who want the trump administration to stop separating families at the border. we'll talk to senator james langford about what congress can do. plus, the michigan pediatrician who was the first person to prove a direct link between flint's water and dangerous lead in local children. first, today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> a new report the trump administration is sending babies and young children to so-called tender age shelters. >> we did ask a worker whether the children here have been separated from their parents and the man told us he couldn't

confirm. >> growing concern among republicans that the decision to continue separating families could cost republican seats in the midterm election. >> he'll fight to keep his job here. they've accused him of tainting two of the biggest political investigations in u.s. history. many here in texas,include ing those still recovering from hurricane harvey have been affected by this heavy rain. he was visiting vietnam now their family has not been able to speak with him since he was arrested ten days ago. soon your iphone will be able to tell 911 exactly where you are. >> companies like uber use technology like this to find you on a street corner. >> i hope they don't copy uber because you'll be dying and frustrated. you're like, i'm on the corner. i'm the person being robbed. >> okay, can you come to us? no, i -- can we go to him? i know he's being robbed but -- >> no, sorry we can't come. sorry, it's been five minutes.

we're canceling your emergency. >> no! >> trevor noah on fire again. i'm gayle king with norah o'donnell and john dickerson. the trump administration and congress are under new pressure to change a zero tolerance policy that is splitting up families who entered the u.s. illegally. the associated press reports that babies and other young children separated from their parents are now being housed at three what they're calling tender age detention facilities in south texas. a fourth facility is planned in houston, according to the mayor there. tender age is typically defined at 12 and under by the department of homeland security. >> the report emerged as president trump met with house republicans about two immigration bills. both address family separation but the president did not endorse one plan over the other. >> senators from both parties are expected to meet today to discuss a fix. republican leader mitch mcconnell says any solution will be narrowed and targeted at keeping families together.

senator james lankford of oklahoma is one of 13 republican senators asking the justice department to pause the separation of families while congress works on a solution. he is inside the u.s. capitol for an interview you'll see only on cbs this morning. senator, good morning. >> good morning to you. >> you've joined some of your republican colleagues in asking the attorney general jeff sessions to move on this immediately. is it your understanding that the attorney general could change this with the stroke of a pen? >> i do think he could change it with a stroke of the pen. it was a stroke of the pen that changed this. he could change back on it. do we allow individuals to be able to choose voluntary return, keep the family together while making a decision. they choose voluntary return they can return back before charges are filed. the flores settlement where it separates families and forcibly separates families due to that settlement only kicks in once charges have been filed. so our request is just delay when you're filing charges. give the families time to make a decision. if they're not seeking asylum,

they were trying to be able to cross the border illegally, then they're given that opportunity to return as a family. >> you also pick up the phone. have you spoken with the justice department? have you spoken with the attorney general directly about this? >> i've spoken with the secretary of dhs, secretary nielsen. she and i have had a good conversation about this. the default position, i believe, should be that families stay together. and that's the default. there should be exceptions to that as there always have been but the default is families stay together. >> what about asylum seekers who don't come in through ports of entry. what would happen to them? >> so that is a bigger challenge. asylum seekers should seek asylum at a port of entry. that's the spot if people know they'll request asylum they can go. they aren't violating the law. if you are seek asylum go to a port of entry. don't try to illegally cross the border in the open area and once you get into the country then declare asylum because it makes it much more complicated for people. they don't know whether you're

seek asylum or trying to illegally cross. they have to get people to a spot to determine if they qualify quickly for asylum and then make the decision from there. and it slows down the process dramatically. >> sounds like what you're talking about wouldn't change the family separation with asylum seekers. let me ask you about ms-13. you're on the homeland security committee. the president has said these family separations are necessary to protect against ms-13. is there any evidence you've seen anywhere ever that families have ms-13 members as a part of them when they're separated? >> not that i have seen. there is a very real threat of ms-13 moving into the country. what we've seen is unaccompanied minors when they're coming in once they get a placement and they're somewhere in the country awaiting on a notice, too peer or some kind of adjudication that they get scooped up by people that may be ms-13 and try to recruit them in. that's a very real threat and we have a very real threat of individuals crossing our border that terrorism connections and other human trafficking

connections. so it is a tough complicated area. >> just to be clear, that's a totally separate issue from these families. >> yes, sir. >> have you heard anything, senator, about where the girls are being held? we've been asking. we were in texas for the past couple of days. it's been asked repeatedly. we're not getting any answers about whether re the girls and younger children are being held. do you have any answer about that? >> i do not have any answer. >> i haven't been able to ask hhs. >> getting clarity from hhs has been tough. they've been very quiet about how they're doing processing. but i don't mean to look back on this, but president obama when we had the surge of unaccompanied minors coming in 2014, they put up several facilities very quickly, military bases and other spots to be able to put unaccompanied minors. we were not allowed access to those locations either. there was a lot of challenges where hhs was working with individual contractors to be able to put up facilities. i do think and i have shared with the facility as much transparency as possible helps everyone to be able to get answers to questions and to be

able to look at it. we are a government of the people by the people, for the people. the people want to be able to get basic answers and that's a very reasonable request. >> senator lankford, thanks for being with us. a jogger fighting off a man who assaulted her and allegedly tried to kidnap her. how she was able to lead police to the suspect after he drove away. that's just about two

get it right rather than get it quickly. >> reporter: another competitor, tesla ceo elon musk, has openly criticized legacy detroit automakers like ford for being stuck in the past. and yet last week, after announcing that he was laying off 9% of his white-collar workforce, musk appeared to seek common ground. musk tweeted recently tesla and ford remain the only american car companies who haven't gone bankrupt. >> true. i've always been impressed by him. i think he's finding that maybe building a car company is more difficult than he first thought it might be. >> reporter: could it be that tesla and ford have a lot more in common than xhomost of us realize or think? >> absolutely. the similarities are greater than the differences. >> reporter: all auto companies are dealing with president trump's decision to slap tariffs on steel and aluminum, something many analysts expect will raise the cost of making a car. when you heard that was coming, did that freak you out a little bit?

>> it didn't freak me out, but i don't think it's helpful. there's 80 times more jobs attached to people who use steel like airplanes and auto, than people who make steel. and those users will be disadvantaged by these tariffs because everything is going to rise. >> reporter: one price tag ford will not discuss is how much he paid for this building. did you get it for a steal? >> we got it for a really good price, yes, we did. yes, we did. >> reporter: i'm trying to find out how much you paid for it, bill. detroit real estate experts have estimated the total cost to buy and renovate the station will run well into hundreds of millions of dollars. for bill ford, that's money well spent. to position his 115-year-old company for the future, a future where not everyone will own and drive their own cars but rather share ones that drive themselves. is it le-- >> i think t will be a much better business model for us because in this future model of autonomous vehicles it will be a subscription rate potentially

well received? >> when i joined the board, i was actually told that i shouldn't associate with any known or suspected environmentalists. and of course i paid no attention to that, and i did. but, you know, it's been a hard journey because often the technology wasn't there to deliver -- >> reporter: you had to decide if you were going to join the family business? >> yes. >> reporter: what was the struggle for us? >> well, look, my dad was great because he said to me, look, you're not going to be doing yourself or this company any favors if your heart isn't in it. and so i thought, all right, i'll try it, i'll see how it goes. >> reporter: is your heart in it? >> yeah, you bet it is. i love this. >> make that l-o-v-e, exclamation point, capital letters. he loves the company. he loves the city. he's predicting or hoping it will be done by 2022, but you know with any construction, bill, you need to double that. but he feels good about it. >> i like how they're not just

the german government said it's at a 25-year low in 2017. the president's false claims are part of a growing list of issues between mr. trump and some of america's closest allies. ian bremer is a cbs news senior global affairs contributor and joins us from tokyo. ian, good morning. so the president has said -- the president has said things are not as bad as angela merkel as everybody has been saying. why is this important they have a good relationship, and what do you think the real nature of the relationship is? >> the relationship is about as dysfunctional as we've seen between america and its major allies since the trans-atlantic relationship started after world war ii. i have spoken with most of the delegations now that attended the g7 summit. they've all responded the relationship was very far from the ten described by president trump. they think it's deeply broken. they feel their personal relationship with president trump is problematic and it's

increasingly hard to find independent voices around him they can engage with that will get a message through because they don't want to deliver messages that trump's advisers don't want to deliver message that trump personally doesn't want to hear. >> there is that picture at the g7 summit. the atlantic that it's become a moment with people having two different views of it. what have you learned about what happened in that moment? >> i think the background is important. it was at this point towards the end of the summit that chancellor merkel of germany and prime minister trudeau of canada got together with allies and really wanted to press trump directly to sign the communique, the one that talked about a commitment to a rules-based international order. the advisers had been working on it until 3:00 that morning, astronaut through the night, including kudlow from the united states. and trump was sitting there with his arms crossed clearly not liking the fact that he felt they were ganging on on him.

he eventually agreed, okay, he'll sign it. at that point he stood up. he put his hand in his pocket, his suit jacket pocket and took two starburst candies out. threw them on the table and said here, angela, don't say i never give you anything. and i would say that was -- that really showed if you want to look into what was behind both the body language there and also why it was that after the meeting trump was so agitated and decided to tweet off against the canadian prime minister and decide to pull his name out of the communique completely unknown to kudlow and others that had been advising him, i think that's really the reason. that's his emotional state at that point. >> so president trump had a starburst outburst? >> look, i mean, his personal relationship with merkel is deeply broken. the leaders obviously do not

respect each other. they don't think that the other respects them and it's pretty clear that they don't. and trump's interest in multilateral institutions that, for him, it feels like a constraint, not an opportunity. >> looking at it from his point of view, could he probably have been teasing and meant for that to be a friendly gesture? any way you can read that? any way you could read that into it? >> you know, it's hard to keeping in mind that trump didn't want to go to the g7. he was convinced by his advisers the day before that he needed to. one thing about trump, when he's told to do things he doesn't want to, do he doesn't respond to them easily. he showed up late. left early. took his translation piece out of his ear when the french president was giving his speech. he showed an extraordinary lack of interest in working with the allies all the way through. and the private conversations i've had with many of these leaders over the course of the g7 summit really does express

♪ michigan could become the first state to remove all lead pipes for drinking water under new regulations that are stricter than federal standards. the safe drinking water act calls for the replacement of 500,000 lead service lines for drinking water across michigan. the process will start in 2021 and take around 20 years. it follows a water crisis in flint that wegan four years ago when the city started drawing water from the flint river as a cost-saving measure. the water was improperly treated

and lead leeched from city pipes into people's homes exposing thousands of people to the toxic metal. >> flint has replaced more than 6,000 lead pipes but nearly 10,000 are left. the state insists the water quality is restored. adrian diaz returned to see how it is affecting children's development.% >> reporter: for the first years of their little lives, siblings gabby and connor drank lead-contaminated water in their baby formula and sippy cups. their grandmother laurie frost didn't know it was tainted but knew something was wrong. >> connor didn't talk. he didn't sit up right. he was 2 and only saying three words. >> reporter: gabby also struggled with speech and balance and their doctor pointed to the water. >> was it hard for you to hear you'd been making their bottles with water that was tainted? >> it's hard. because i feel like they've been

poisoned. >> reporter: nearly two years after the height of the water crisis, the state says the water is safe. but a crisis of trust remains. >> do you drink the tap water? >> no. >> do you cook with tap water? >> no. because i don't trust the water. >> reporter: but she does trust this place. comings great expectations, a preschool designed only for children exposed to lead. administrator amy hesse says development delays are widespread. >> do you think the delays are tied to lead? >> i don't think anyone can say that's for sure, but i would tell you my years of experience tell me a group of children this size has never had this many delays. >> reporter: the 144 children here, a fraction of the 5,000 in need, get more individual attention and speech in physical therapy. families also receive support. >> this is trauma. this is trauma. the children were exposed to a

poison. they can't sell their home. they are afraid of where they live. >> reporter: frost celebrates her grandkids' successes. but the road ahead remains long and lonely. because she says the nation has forgotten about flint. for cbs this morning, adriana diaz. the governor's advise or flint richard bayer said the lead levels there are even lower than both the federal standards and limits set for bottled vaurt. he says their findings are reported by independent scientists. dr. mona hanna-attisha was the first person to scientifically prove a direct link between flint's 2014 water switch and elevated levels of lead in the local children. her new sbook "what the eyes don't see." she calls flint a crime scene and says the city has ptsd from the water disaster. a disaster she says could have

been prevented. dr. hanna-attisha joins us. this became such a personal story for you. after reading your book, you lost weight, you lost sleep because you'd been telling your young patients and parents it's okay to drink this water. >> kids would come into the clinic. is the water okay? can i give this to my child? can i mix my baby's formula with this water? and we were reassuring them, yes, it's okay. how could the water that comes out of your tap not be okay. >> how did you find out there was a problem? >> it happened very much by serendipity. i was at home with a high school girlfriend drinking a glass of wine having a barbecue. my high school girlfriend happens to be a water expert and she was the first person who mentioned to me the water wasn't being treated properly and because of that, there would be lead in the water. >> your research found that the lead levels in children's blood doubled and even tripled after this 2014 switch in the river water. how did that occur? explain the biology behind it.

>> absolutely. the flint water wasn't treated properly. it was leeching lead into the drinking water which got into the bodies of our children. and the blood lead data we looked at was based on screening data which is done at the ages of 1 and 2, when you worry about lead in dust and soil and paint, not lead in water. because it's significantly retards brain development. >> lead is a known potent irreversible neurotoxin. it impacts cognition. iq levels, behavior. we now know based on incredible science there is no safe level of lead exposure at all. >> a small part, too, but so many knew about this. that's the thing. when you raise the flag you're called irresponsible, unfortunate researcher, causing near hysteria, splicing and dicing the numbers. >> lots of folks knew about this crisis. many, many red flags. just a few months after we switched this water source, general motors, born in flint, stopped using this water because it was corroding engine parts.

imagine that. corrodesing engine parts. what is it doing to body? >> you're being discredited in public. in american life, there are a lot of people who are not speaking up or trying to speak up and there are big forces against them. what was it like being inside of that for you? >> it was hard. it was traumatic. my heart rate went up. i was shaking. i just wanted to hide under the covers for a moment. but then i realized that it's my professional, my moral, my ethical obligation to speak up for these kids. i'm a pediatrician. i took an oath to protect children to be their healer and make sure they're not only healthy today but healthy forever. so, you know, all my research was based on numbers and statistics but every number was a kid. a kid who i probably took care of and that's what inspired me to speak up. >> in that piece, we saw people still have concerns about the water in flint. should they? >> absolutely. there's a loss of trust in flint for so long they were betrayed

by every government agency that was meant to protect them. >> do you drink the water there? >> i now knowing about kind of federal standards about lead and water, i don't drink unfiltered water anywhere. our policies nationally, especially the lead and copper rule are too weak. they have not caught up with the science of no safe level of lead. >> doctor, we'll have to end it there. thank you so much. what the eyes don't see is on sale now. you can hear more of cbs this morning on our podcast available on apple's podcast app or wherever you like to download your podcast. today we talked to author rumaan alam. you're watching "cbs this morning."
