When the Bough Breaks

Ted Danson is a child psychologist recruited by cop Richard Masur to help get information from a small child who may have witnessed a double homicide. Their investigation unveils a conspiracy of child abusers. A TV movie based on the first novel in a series featuring Danson's character. It's a solid little buddy cop film, hampered a bit by it's TV movie budget. It's worth noting that Masur's character is gay and without a doubt, the least stereotypical gay character on TV in the 1980s.

"In this film, Ted Danson and Richard Masur play characters who work together to bust a ring of child molesters. Both had previously played child molesters themselves: Danson in "Something About Amelia" (1984) and Masur in "Fallen Angel" (1981)." #IMDbGold
