She still is. and he says to his kid, who he hasn t seen in ten years, so what do you like? i mean, what else do you say? the children were taken, kalib and his brother, from their parents when they were two years old and thank goodness for the kindness of strangers. thank goodness for cyndi and jesse, who have taken them in and 15 years, most of them from parents addicted to opioids and other drugs. now we see what happens. right? now he s been sober for 18 months because he almost died from an overdose. can he stay sober, brooke? can he rebuild somewhat of a relationship with his son and his other children? maybe. we ll see. but i was just blown away that this 12-year-old, not only wanted to see him again after all that, but said, i want to help be the reason to keep him clean. you ve got 50% of the kids in ohio s foster system, they re there because their parents are on drugs and more than half of
President as he was addressing the opioid crisis in the country and apparently he made news because he did react to this north korea report. what did he say? reporter: that s right. as we expected, he was asked about this, and the president issued a very stern warning to north korea. until we get the video, i m just going to read you what the president just said. he said, north korea best not make any more threats to the united states. they will be met with fire and furry like the world has never seen. they will be met with fire, fury, and frankly power the likes of which the world has never seen. now we know some of the other president s top advisers said all options are on the table when it comes to dealing the north korea. they ve made clear that that includes the military option. obviously, we ll be waiting to see if they offer any more details on how they plan to deal with this as the day proceeds, brooke. okay, sara, thank you very much. i ve got sabrina here with me, andre,
well, i like to well, i really like my favorite subject in school is science. really? uh-huh. that s cool. always caught my interest. i mean, i m just telling you, i ve never stopped thinking about you. never. never. even when i was out there messed up. i thought that would be my motivation to quit, to stop. but it just wasn t enough. i m glad now that you are able to be clean. yeah. yeah. no desire. reporter: as he went to bed that night, kalib told his mom that was the best day of his life. a day of hope after heroin. cnn, dayton, ohio. so poppy is back with us today. just to think of a dad, and it sounds like his wife, they were both hooked on heroin.

it s a lot to cope with, caleb, at 12 years old. it s just been a lot better than i would have done with my other parents. reporter: the most recent data show 50% of the children in ohio s foster care system are there because of their parents drug use, and more than half of those are because of an opioid addiction. of the 15 foster children cindy and jesse have taken in, 13 are because of their parents drug addiction. i m confident that if we opened another bed in our home, it would be filled with another baby with an opiate issue. reporter: that s a sad reality. it is. yeah. it s hard to hold a baby as they re withdrawing from heroin. i hate to say it this way but we kind of clean up a little bit of the mess. so i mean, we need more people to help clean up the messes with
