and yet, to dayton's first responders, these scenes are now common place. there's tho time to celebrate after saving three lives. it's just on to the next call. most of the overdose calls in dayton are for adults, b obviously, but there are often kids present and sadly, the department told us they've had to respond to 31 cases of children overdosing this year. children overdosing. our special look at america's opioid epidemic and the impact it's having on our kids will continue this week on nightly news and across other programs and online. back in a moment with today's marathon moment. back in a moment with today's marathon moment. that was a long time woman: for the holidays, we get a gift for mom and dad. and every year, we split it equally. except for one of us. i write them a poem instead. and one for each of you too. woman: cool. that actually yours... that one. yeah. regardless, we're stuck with the bill. to many, words are the most valuable currency. last i checked, stores don't take words. man: some do. oh. (alert beeps) not everyone can be the poe

around dayton in that county, they have lost more than 500 people this year to opioid overdoses. that's a staggering figure. and what the fire medics told me is when they go out on the overdose calls, often they see children in the home. people on the front lines call them a generation at risk. there's a lot of concern about what they have seen, what children have experienced and we spent time with that young woman in dayton who knows it all too well. >> hi, baby girl. >> reporter: tori brinkman has always been a survivor, born 15 weeks early, a tiny pound and a half. and that was just the beginning of her struggle. for the first ten years of her life, she lived with a mother addicted to heroin. their history together shows how savage the group of addiction can be. today, tori is a remarkably composed 14-year-old telling her story her way. what do you remember about those early years and your mom? >> she never ate. she would have maybe a coke a day, no water. and then go right back to bed. and she would never take care of me, never feed me. i had to feed myself. i considered myse

especially in a place like dayton where the ems teams are going out every day, on every shift they told me two or three overdose calls per shift. so there's a fatigue. they have a name for it. i think it's called compassion fatigue. where the first responders start to feel like is it even worth -- >> they become desensitized. >> yes, and start to say things like is it worth saving these folks which is a really hard thing to process, but that does exist in communities that are ravaged by this epidemic. >> dr. wynn, how much of this goes back to training new doctors? the overprescription, the overprescribing we've seen in recent years specifically, how much of this goes back to training new doctors and just how we view and treat pain in this country? >> there is a supply and demand issue that we have to address in equal force. we have to stop the supply of drugs, whether it's heroin or fantanyl. i have to admit i didn't learn about the danger of opoids in my medical training and i'm sure i overprescribed to so many patients that should have gotten other methods of pain control and that's

mason, dayton, ohio, go ahead. >> that is blatantly false. it absolutely is impacting people who need these medications to survive on a daily basis. i had a severe injury with a double back fusion several times, hip replacement. i did need those medications. i had a broken foot and because i was on on existing medication, they could not give me medication to help with the break and the pain that comes along with a broken foot. also had to have oral surgery with two teeth pulled. they could not give me anything because i was already on pain medication. and to top it off, they want to drug test pain patients, right? and if you don't sign an agreement to drug testing, they will no longer give you your medicines. >> what should be the answer? >> i think what the answer is, is we need to go after the problem. that would be the drug companies themselves and how it's being prescribed, not the people who need it. the people who need it have to have it every day like a friend of mine who just went through a kidney transplant that couldn't get any more

as the chairman said, i come from dayton, ohio. my counties in ohio are montgomery, green, and fayette, and despite our community's efforts to battle the opioid epidemic for years, the epidemic continues to destroy my community and my constituents on a daily basis. this year, current estimates suggest that 800 people could die in my primary county, montgomery county, due to opioid overdose. sadly, that would more than double the 371 drug overdose deaths from 2016, the highest number recorded to date. imagine 800 families receiving notice that someone in their family has died as a result of opioid overdose. heartbreaking numbers like this have made montgomery county, ohio, ground zero in opioid abuse and addiction. i have called for a dayton area drug czar to dreamline our response to this epidemic. my work on the local basis to help stem the tide, today, i would like to highlight my bill, hr-92, the reforming and expanding access to treatment act, the treat act, as a title suggests, the treat act would provide access to substance a

in one of the hardest hit areas, montgomery county, ohio, which includes dayton, 500 people have already died this year alone due to accidental overdose. now a look at the crisis through the eyes of its youngest victims, the children living with parents who are in the throes of addiction. nbc's kate snow has more on this in our series. kate, your reporting has been heartbreaking. what do you hear from these children? >> one girl i talked to is tori. she's 14 years old. she lived with her aunt and uncle who were addicted. she talked about taking care of herself, not seeing a doctor or dentist until she was 10, even dealing with drug overdose before she was eight. as far as a father figure? you can see how emotional this is for her. what happened to your uncle? >> he passed away november 20, 2015 from a drug overdose. >> heroin? >> uh-huh. >> that must have been super hard for you. >> yeah, because -- i mean, he basically took care of me instead of my mom. if my mom was asleep, he would take care of me. so it was just -- it was sad. >> do you want a kleenex? i have one. >> i have one over

hopefully we will be able to keep you up to dayton what is going on with that throughout the rest of the morning. meanwhile, high pressure is in control but we have got this weak cold front that will slip through this morning, probably won't even notice it, it will take away a little of the humidity and we have not had high humidity but that is really only weather event that is happening, from now through the weekend. after the weekend things will change and by middle of next week we will get rid of the above average temperature pattern and go back to chillier temperatures that we expect this time of the year as we head toward the end of the month of october. walking out the door right now , if you are, 56 degrees in philadelphia. up in the mountains it is in the 50's. forty-eight in lancaster. 52 degrees in wildwood, wilmington has 52. trenton 55. fifty-four in dover. up to the north, bethlehem at 52 degrees and chillier 48 in phoenixville. little tour of the region. sixty-five is now our average high temperature, 65 degrees. we have had two days with 72 as high temperatures and tod

turner, mayor of dayton, ohio. if you wish to join us now, that would be good as well. >> and chairman rogers, thank you for being here, and being part of this discussion this morning, you're recognized sir. >> well, thank you mr. chairman and colleagues, thank you for hosting us on this very, very important topic. over the last 15 years, many of you have heard me advocate for a hole listic holistic approach to the calamity we face, including prevention and treatment measures like those successfully implemented by unite in kentucky. we need to ensure regional collaboration on this issue that ignores lines on a map and i hope to work with the committee on this issue in the future. today, however, mr. chairman, i would like to focus on treatment. despite the light we have shown on addiction, only 10% of those needing treatment for alcohol or drug related addiction actually receive it. 10%. underlying challenges in the treatment workforce, further compound this lack of access. there are simply not enough incentives fo

i know you'll be back this week and later on today with more from ohio, actually, and how the dayton children's hospital there is dealing with the crisis. thank you. >> reporter: thank you. >>> during the three and a half minutes of that airing, we were all completely glued to the screen and compelled here. you've reported a lot on the crisis. when you look at the youngest victims, this can be devastating, but there can be hope. >> this can be devastating for them. in my reporting i found that people are much like that mother. they are struggling to try to get out of this. i think the nation's understanding of addiction has gone to understand that it's a health issue and that it's not something that you can penalize someone for. you can imagine a situation where that woman loses her kids and that little boy is more angry. so the idea she's able to have her child, to be able to stay clear. that being a drug addict is a full-time job. my mother deals with elementary schools. the things 6-year-olds have to deal with when they're suicidal and they're really sad, you don't think of this a

chip means a child in cincinnati, dayton, portsmouth or mans? -- or mansfield can see a doctor. chip means vaccine and shots and dental coverage. we know what happens to low-income kids that don't get good dental care. the state of ohio probably has enough money to protect chip children until the end of the year. josh, whom i met in cleveland, whose children were covered by chip when he was laid off his job. the ability to feel confident that my family will continue to get the same quality of care they had while i was working, that was a huge weight lifted. think about that, this father -- he had plenty of things to worry about, he lost his job and who knows what that meant about his lifestyle and family. at least he knew he had insurance for his family. think about noble from columbus who came earlier this week with his mom to talk about chip. noble relies on chip for the five pediatric specialists he sees at one of america's great hospitals, nationwide children's hospital in columbus. my colleagues need to think about noble and his mom in columbus. we need to think about how t
