easily. >> public housing development and he also tutors kids there. he says forming this relationship helped him become a more effective cop. >> i don't need you getting shot man. a fight broke out at a gym. >> what's the tone man. >> this is the type of incident. >> at first he one getting anywhere. >> i can't remember a conversation with you. >> so he sought out older residents the local gang would listen to. >> he's 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? >> i'd like to say yes. i also know that if we don't keep working at it, it could happen. >> police departments have to give up on this idea that police officers should be warriors and they're 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. he's also a member of a presidential task force on 21st century policing. he says cops can't 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 don't think the police will ever change.

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 y'all 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 y'all. >> that's a bold thing when you think about it. police officers telling the police there's more police coming. >> that's 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 you're not respecting us. >> the community became inf infuriated when police arrested three people coming home from a

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 10-year-old 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 couldn't believe it. that's my son. that's my son. >> it was a rare moment of joy for steven and andrew. most days weren't 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. >> i'm 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 didn't want to make any decisions about medicine. >> anybody that's 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 andrew's 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 it's to treat the symptom not psychosis. because you hear anti-psychotic you would think it's 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. >> it's also the place where he died. >> the place where he died. that's why it's so hard. >> andrew had died from an extremely rare side effect of taking anti-psychotics 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. >> that's right. >> after andrew's 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 wasn't 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. >> it's the ultimate irony. >> it's 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 anti-psychotic, 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. >> that's correct. and they're hoping. >> steven found that's true for the vast majority of kids taking anti-psychotics. 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 there's 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. >> there's 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. you're not supposed to pitch drugs off label, right? >> correct. >> but they're sending her to place where is those doctors would have to be prescribing off label. >> that's 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 isn't 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 it's sales reps to market seroquel off label. it trains it's 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 i'm concerned the fda in terms of regulatory activity is getting weaker and yet there's huge amounts of

medication canning poured down kids throats. >> less than a year after andrew's 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 they're 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. they're talking about seroquel and it's safety in kids. >> we invited steven to come along and watch too. >> it's 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 4-year-old. >> some doctors have questions about off label use. >> would it bear labeling to state there's 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. isn't that what they're supposed to be doing? >> they're well intentioned but it isn't enough. >> why not? >> because after all the discussion it's status quo. >> there is no such thing as a drug that's 100% safe whether it's on label or off label. >> he's a former associate committee. and keep kids safe and the

agency can and does encourage companies to do more trials and can't tell doctors how to practice medicine and stop them from prescribing all off label. >> his son's death is an indication of a much bigger problem. do you agree or is he overgeneralizing? >> well, clearly the system didn't 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 they're actually being used in the community. >> if you had to describe the children's mental health industry, how would you describe it in a sense? >> i can do it in a word.

it's broken. it's broken. >> steven hasn't 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. >> it's a difficult read. >> it's a difficult subject. >> did you ever imagine that you would end up here? >> no. >> across from the hospital where steven's 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 -- >> what's living in that beard?

she sold it for $30 million. >> he's been paid the big bucks for so long he no longer has any frame of reference. >> folks on the block now couldn't 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 wasn't 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. >> i'm sure there's a good reason tom. you don't 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. >> i'm 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. >> i'm very sorry for the delay. it's all my fault. excuse me. >> do you miss every night? >> no. you know, i don't and it's interesting i thought for sure i would. and then the first day of steven's 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, it's good now

to not have that. i couldn't care less about late night television. i'm happy for the guys, men and women -- should be more women -- and i don't know why they didn't give my show to a woman. that would have been fine. >> did they ask you about who should replace you? >> no, they didn't ask me about anything. they were just happy i was going. >> so now david's favorite role is dad. >> i'm so in love with my son who is 12 now. i think he's here. is harry here? there he is right over there. >> actually harry wasn't there. david keeps him out of the spotlight. >> i'm sure you didn't regret that you didn't have him earlier. >> no but it could have happened much, much earlier. but no i was tv boy and i didn't and i'm 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. >> i'll be honest with you, it's beginning to look like i'm 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? >> she's gone already, chief. >> i am supposed to have braces when i was a kid but i didn't. my parents used the money for a wet bar downstairs.

>> growing up he wanted to be like his idol, johnny carson. >> here's 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. i'm 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 god's 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 that's postumously and i said what did i say? first time-out. 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 i've had arthritis and a little gout but never ameritis. >> well now i don't 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?

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 didn't. 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 i'm thinking oh he's 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 doesn't have some. >> when johnny died in 2005 we found out that he wrote jokes for dave like this one. >> there's 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 trump's hair. >> that was 11 years ago. what does dave think of donald trump today. coming up. >> that's 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 doesn't get you anything. anything. perfect. for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise your rates due to your first accident. see car insurance in a whole new light. liberty mutual insurance.
