this is the "cbs overnight news." >> welcome to the "overnight news." i'm adriana diaz. a first of its kind summit on sexual abuse in the resume man catholic church is now under way in the vatican. in his opening remarks yesterday, pope francis addressed nearly 200 bishops and religious leaders, urging them to listen to the cries of the young who want justice. the vatican says the four-day summit is focusing on responsibility, accountability, and transparency. since 1950, more than 19,000 people have been allegations of abuse by catholic clergy in the united states alone. the pope is now proposing a list of changes to punish predator

priests and protect children. dea seth doane is in rome. >> reporter: a pontiff set the agenda with a piece of paper. 21 proposals, including establishing worldwide protocols for handling accusations against bishops involving lay experts in investigations, and developing rules for screening seminaryians. many of the points are familiar to priests in america where similar rules were imposed nearly two decades ago. >> what i'm hoping is that some of the things that we've very slowly learned in the united states might be carried to other places to save them some of the pain that we've had to go through. >> reporter: in the u.s., nearly 7,000 clerics have been accused of sexual abusing minors since 1950. video testimony from sexual abuse survivors has been played, including one from a woman who started having sex with her priest at the age of 15. the priest forced her to have three abortions.

while victims are at the heart of this, their role in the summit has largely been on the sidelines. we're also hearing from one of the most prominent american cardinals at the summit, cardinal blase cupich is the archbishop of chicago. he spoke with nikki battiste about the meeting and what's next for the catholic church. >> reporter: chicago archbishop blase cupich tells cbs news pope francis asked him and other catholic leaders to stay after the summit ends to discuss ways to implement concrete steps addressing clergy sexual abuse. >> there's going to be not only concretes a scene of the accident that will be clear to people, but i can tell you there are going to be concrete steps. >> reporter: cardinal cupich was one of five bishops in wednesday's historic vatican meeting with 12 victims who are calling for zero tolerance, particularly removal of any catholic leaders who cover up sexual abuse. how much should be handled by the law versus the church? >> if there is an investigation by the civil jurisdiction, we back off.

>> reporter: the bishops have to first not block the allegations from getting to the legal system, part of the focus here. >> without question. that's why the holy father said all civil requirements of law need to be followed. >> reporter: mark rossi, both a victim atute ofitatio rorm >> now put yourself in my position as a 13-year-old boy getting raped in the shower. do you think i knew what a statute of limitations was? >> reporter: he has a message for the pope. >> tell your bishops to stand down. stop spending millions of dollars on lawyers and lobbyist and let the chips fall where they may in the civil courts. >> reporter: cardinal cupich will be speaking tomorrow about responsibility. the theme for day two is accountability. many americans are getting a smaller tax refund than they expected or finding out they owe money to uncle sam. in some cases families have been shocked to find they owe thousands of dollars. the irs says the average refund

compared to last year's has dropped nearly 9%. this is the first tax season since the tax cuts and jobs act went into effect. anna werner spoke to a woman who says her tax bill left her in tears. >> dreaming of using your tax refund to go on a trip? maybe pay off some debts. better do the math. some people are getting a shock. they owe thousands of dollars. like the colorado woman we spoke to. when she did the taxes this year, they found out they owed. >> the truth is we always got refund. >> reporter: last year her family of four's tax refund topped $3600. but this time around when she did their taxes -- >> i plugged it all in, and at first i thought oh my goodness, we're getting $8,000 back. and then i realized it was the wrong color. so i went back in and i checked everything, and then i started to cry. >> reporter: owing just over eight grand was bad enough, but

she said it felt even worse because last year she went on the irs website to make sure the government withheld enough taxes from she and her husband's paychecks. >> i have a ph.d in neuroscience. my husband has an md. if we can't figure this out and we can't rely on the irs and their calculators to give us the right information, what are we supposed to do? >> a lot of households live paycheck to paycheck, and the refund is the single largest payment they get all year. >> reporter: william gail is co-director of the tax policy center. unless they made the correct changes to their withholding, the money may have wound up in their paychecks last year in smaller amounts. >> the irs had to tell people what to withhold, and it's a difficult problem for taxpayers, of course, but it's even difficult for tax experts at the irs. >> reporter: the irs says last

year refunds averaged around $2100, but this year so far it's averaging around $1900. matt lease is with the irs. >> it is important to check your withholding and update your w-4 if you're surprised this year, because it really is critical to get your tax situation and your withholding amount to the proper amount so you don't have a surprise again in 2019. >> reporter: a very unwelcome surprise, says bielski. >> i believe in paying taxes, but you can't expect average americans who have bills to pay and things they want to do to save money that they don't know they're going to need. >> most people haven't filed yet, and the irs doesn't know how many others may be in the same boat. one word of advice, though. if you can't afford to pay what you kwlowe in a lump sum, do re out to the irs. they do offer payment plans. while painful, that will be better than the alternative, facing stiff penalties that will cost you even more money. >> the cbs "overnight news" will be right back.

they've never forgotten the little girl, keeping a photo of her in the detective division as a reminder to continue pushing forward on cold cases like hers. for more than 45 years, the disappearance of linda o'keefe has haunted the community of newport beach, california. wednesday, police revealed how a dna match on the genealogy website family tree led them to their suspect in colorado. 72-year-old james neal. >> our investigators used forensic dna testing and an online genealogy website to identify the subject's dna as being consistent with dna left at the crime scene. >> reporter: o'keefe vanished in july of 1973 while walking home from summer school. the 11-year-old was last seen on this street talking to a stranger in a van. the next day she was found strangled, her body tossed in a ditch. she was still wearing this dress her mother had made for her. this was the last picture taken. >> reporter: o'keefe's sister

cindy borgson said she was surprised to get the call that the alleged killer had been caught. >> i said oh, wow, okay. i never really thought they would actually find the individual. >> reporter: last summer, in an effort to jump-start the case, the newport beach police department posted a series of tweets written as though from o'keefe's perspective recalling her final hours. hi, i'm linda o'keefe. i was murdered. my killer was never found. >> my hope is that it brings hope to other families that haven't had a resolve yet. >> reporter: more police departments are turning to genealogical websites to solve cold cases. by connecting dna from crime scenes with online databases, authorities have also been able to track down the suspected golden state killer as well as the ten people.16 of murdering in this case, newport beach police also used dna to project what o'keefe's killer might look

like today. >> i can tell you through both traditional dna and through genealogical dna we have every opportunity in the world to solve so many of these cold cases that we never had hope in the past of solving. >> the orange county d.a. would not say whether it was neal or a family member who submitted that dna to the gealogy website. if convicted, neal faces life in prison without the possibility of parole, and the d.a. says they may consider asking for the death penalty. a difficult conversation many families have with their grandparents is when is it time to hand over the car keys. more than 41 million drivers over 65 are on the roads today. crash injuries sent more than 290,000 older adults to the emergency room in 2016. now an article in the "new england journal of medicine" argues retirement from driving threatens one's health and

wellness. vladimir duthiers spoke to some older couples about how important driving is to them. >> this is often a touchy subject, but it became an international conversation last month after britain's 97-year-old prince philip caused a wreck when he was behind the wheel. he handed over his keys for good, and as we learned, that's not an easy thing to do. 86-year-old joan has been driving around albany, new york since the eisenhower administration, when she was in her early 20s. and while she still hits the road with her 89-year-old husband anthony to run simper rands, it worries daughter kathy and her siblings who wonder if mom should lock the keys away. >> you don't want to wait until an accident happens in order to make that decision. you want to be able to make that decision on your own. >> we're not going that far, but be able to go to the library and to church and to the grocery store is important. >> i don't think age -- you can

define it as a certain age. i think there are people at 40 years old shouldn't be driving. you know? and i think people that have good reflexes and all, they're alert and vision is good, they can drive in their 90s. >> reporter: but deciding when to give up the keys is a personal matter that experts say should not be taken lightly. >> when we get a driver's license, it's considered a big part of becoming an adult. so losing your driver's license feels like the opposite of that. >> you cannot drive where you cannot see. >> reporter: at this class on long island, new york -- >> managing your space -- >> reporter: senior citizens like lois and murray are brushing up on their skills. you've heard the criticism that some people have of seniors driving past a certain age. what's your reaction when you hear criticism like that? >> seniors come in all different sizes and packages, you know, and abilities, but i don't think we are being trained

individually to recognize when we should not be driving. >> reporter: the educational course gives them a refresher on the rules of the road, like stopping for three second, checking your shoulder, and keeping their eyes on the road. >> we sort of warn each other about certain things now. hey, lois, you shouldn't be talking with your hands when you're driving, something like that, or little things like that, you know. >> reporter: there has always been in this country a romantic notion of driving. the open road and the freedom that it represents. could taking away the keys of someone who is older be in a way detrimental to the health of some older people? >> it's absolutely detrimental. and that's proven. so it decreases people's ability to get to work, to have fulfilling social lives. older adults who are socially isolated have huge health risks. it's basically akin to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. >> they don't want to give up

driving just yet, but have a backup plan for when they put the car in park for good. >> when you want to do something, get in the car and go. but if we have to ultimately do that. >> when i don't feel safe, i guess i'll stop. >> when it's time to talk to a loved one about possibly giving up their key, here are a few tips. check if permanent medical conditions are preventing them from safely driving, such as dementia, have them take a driving test or enroll them in i'm alex trebek, here to tell you about the colonial penn program. if you're age 50 to 85, and looking to buy life insurance on a fixed budget, remember the three p's. what are the three p's? the three p's of life insurance on a fixed budget are price, price, and price. a price you can afford, a price that can't increase, and a price that fits your budget. i'm 54. alex, what's my price?
