Madding crowd May 24, 2016 Share May 24, 2016 CPS needs to be involved in this case, not Dr Phil. He has zero authority to do anything. Watching him and the nosy neighbor badger an obviously mentally ill woman is sickening. At one point there were three or four people badgering her. How does any of this help the children? Dr Phil infuriates me. If her husband cares so much about the kids, get a lawyer don't go on tv. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/101044-all-episodes-talk-let%E2%80%99s-talk-about-dr-phil-the-show/page/26/#findComment-2276315

Madding crowd May 25, 2016 Share May 25, 2016 Then what is the point of going on this show? Dr Phil has no influence over the courts or CPS. I believe the neighbor cares only about being on TV and sticking it to the mother. Someone needs to talk to the children to find out what's going on and find an appropriate living situation for them. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/101044-all-episodes-talk-let%E2%80%99s-talk-about-dr-phil-the-show/page/26/#findComment-2277028
LisainCali May 25, 2016 Share May 25, 2016 I think the point of going on the show was because Sandra asked for it. She wanted to have the truth come out, and clear her name. Didn't work so well..... I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that Dr. Phil does have some sway with law enforcement and CPS. His "guests" sign everything away with regard to privacy. After all, they have agreed to be on TV. All CPS has to do is ask for the unedited tapes ( with a court order) and probably all the forms the guests have filled out. And I assume, and pray, that he gives all the info to them. And I think the neighbor is a big blessing for those children. From what I can tell, there would be no other way for those adorable little girls to get away from their demented mother. By accusing ex-husband of sexual abuse and torture, she had a clear path to destroying their lives forever. Who the hell does that???

LisainCali May 25, 2016 Share May 25, 2016 I don't know about CPS, but law enforcement can, and has, arrested various people who have admitted to child abuse and/or spousal abuse on Dr. Phils show. Mandated reporters for child abuse in CA include teachers, fire department, even preschool employees who often have little more than a high school diploma. As an aside but on topic, I was watching Judge Judy last week and she asked some guy if he paid income taxes on his self employed income. The guy said No, and Judy said, you do know that the IRS watches this show to crack down on people like you. I laughed out loud because I met someone who that happened to about 10 years ago! He was loudly complaining at a party because the IRS came after him. Medicare, Social Security, Disability and State all were standing in line.

Showthyme May 25, 2016 Share May 25, 2016 As awful as it is, I don't think that CPS or the courts has enough information to remove the children from their mother. Sandra sounds like she has some form of a paranoid personality disorder which is harmful to her children and anyone around her. But, the courts have to look at their father too. Why did he make a baby with this woman? It is significant that he has completed almost all of his parenting classes and has done some therapy too. Sandra is not obligated to take the help that Dr. Phil offers even though she is a nutcase. Sleeping until noon, not tending to the children or their hygiene unfortunately is not abuse. It is neglect but perhaps not enough for CPS to respond. I have adopted 2 children from the foster care system. It takes many, many complaints and way too long for CPS to build their case. The upside is that CPS needs a case to prevent children and parents from being separated. I don't know how much pull Dr. Phil has with CPS outside of Dr. Sophy. I had to fast forward through Sandra's whining. Was she ever able to produce a tear? She is someone that you just want to shake. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/101044-all-episodes-talk-let%E2%80%99s-talk-about-dr-phil-the-show/page/26/#findComment-2278392

He started by saying its normal and people meet in today's society on Tinder, then trashed it like its full of garbage like his two guests (maybe it is all that -- too old here -- but then don't say it like its Match.com or a personals ad). I find it hard to believe Tinder is rife with protectionless singles other than these lowlifes getting pregnant left right and sideways, but maybe I'm wrong. I really can't imagine anyone honestly saying they could potentially spend their life with someone after said someone lied about having an abortion, but clearly this guy isn't much for thinking. It really took a pin to her, "He lied and cheated on me," balloon of whines. What reward did she expect from that? She's lucky he didn't knock her ass out with a sledgehammer. I think the mom said the other sister worked full time and her income was needed to support Tinder spawns 1 and 2, but clearly the mother is an issue there. Both those daughters appeared to have no self-worth/esteem, and the mother had to stop herself from coming off "uppity" when saying say didn't want her grandkids living in the guy's black neighborhood. There are no heroes here. Just the bottom rung of society and two unwanted kids who will ascend to take their own place on that rung someday. And what help did Phil give? 8 weeks of Dr. On Demand ain't gonna get that hoe employed or make him not want to bang every chick without two kids he passes. Adoption wasn't considered?

He has interviewed children on his show before, so saying he won't do it because he couldn't put them on TV is a stretch. More like, he had his hands full with their crazy pants mother and he probably knew what most of us in the audience had deduced halfway into the show...the girls had been programmed by their mother. So hearing them say they'd been abused by their father wasn't exactly credible. Especially since Sandra gave ample evidence to the fact that she had no problem programming her children to say things that weren't true. Not to mention she had a sketchy relationship with the truth herself. I'm not about to put any stock in CPS investigations either. Not to slam the agency or anything, they have their hands full, but they've missed enough big time abuse cases in my neck of the woods that they're not exactly the world's most trustworthy organization. Look, I don't care who the girls go with. My point is that Dr. Phil hit the nail on the head with this one. That woman was insane and irresponsible with her kids and he called her out on it.

No therapist can do more. You can lead a horse to water. So often I read on this board, "He/she needs therapy," as if that is a cure or fix of some kind. It isn't, not by a long shot. Therapy works only if the client is dedicated to the process. They must have a strong desire to change what is not working. Therapists do not fix people, they give them a road map.

friendperidot June 4, 2016 Share June 4, 2016 (edited) re the women who get catfished. I didn't make the connection until a couple of days ago, but I have received FB messages from several men saying "hello". They are not in my regular messages and I only check the filtered messages every few months. But I would look at their page, thinking why on earth are they messaging me, we apparently don't have friends in common or they would know that an old liberal hippie like me would not be interested in a retired military man who has chosen to remain in the middle east. I don't answer, but I am just astounded at the messages. And also anyone who knows that I have little interested in men since I got the last lying cheating SOB out of my life. I prefer the single life. I guess if you are lonely, a message from a stranger could be flattering. But they can all go #### themselves as far as I'm concerned.

I believe that is why he got her pregnant, to have another victim available. I still can't find where it specifically says that she has chosen her children instead of him. Peaceknit: Yep, gaslighting. I remember Ingrid Bergman well. What a horrid man. My first year of teaching, I had a girl whose stepfather was beating the kids. Nothing was done until my student showed up with a black eye one day. Faced with the choice of her kids or her boyfriend, the mom chose the kids but would send them away for up to a week to have boyfriend come and stay. I hope she burns in hell. I also gave her all A's and B's, even though she often earned less, because stepdad told me he would "discipline" her if she got less than a B. Sometimes there isn't much we can do, but in 5th grade, who cares if a science grade gets fudged upwards a little....

GiveMeSpace June 15, 2016 Share June 15, 2016 (edited) The dude on today's show was shady as fuck. I have no idea why Phil had to chumpion him. (typo-it works) I suspect that he had a man inside his house because he was pinging heavily on my gaydar. He was definitely hiding something. ETA: I posted before the test results were given. I don't care what the test said. There is a reason those are not admissible in court. Also-he may be telling the truth that there was no woman in the house but not that there was nobody in the house. He is full of shit.

Brattinella July 1, 2016 Share July 1, 2016 Good Lord! I've watched the first 5 minutes of this episode, and I want to PUKE. This GODDAMN sperm donor didn't have the COJONES to tell this own wife that their child was genetically flawed (and he knew it would be AHEAD OF TIME)! Intersex! Don't you DARE take his side, Phil, it's the wrong side.

Guest July 3, 2016 Share July 3, 2016 Could you do a quick recap of the story Brattinella? I watched bits and pieces of this too and didn't get the whole gist of it. Aren't they already divorced? Or are you talking about his current wife. If that is a current wife. I thought the wife was to blame so please fill me in. Thanks.

Brattinella July 3, 2016 Share July 3, 2016 (edited) The child has both sets of genitals. The father is DRILLING it into his child that she is a GIRL. The mother is DRILLING it in that he is a BOY. Child is 4 years old and looks to be a supremely happy and joyous child. Why are the parents trying to force the situation at FOUR YEARS OLD? Jeez just let the kid enjoy life and worry about their plumbing later on, when it might matter.

Guest July 3, 2016 Share July 3, 2016 Thank you Brattinella. I agree with you completely. I fear that is going to be one screwed-up individual. All because of the parents.

ClareWalks July 3, 2016 Share July 3, 2016 That whole situation was so nuts to me. So they had a kid with ambiguous genitals, and they just decided "let's chop off whatever that is and call it a girl?" Heartbreaking. I know this must be a very difficult situation, but I would have left things alone and not done irreversible surgery. Let them decide for themselves if they want it as an adult. Also, they never mentioned the kid's chromosomal makeup. Was it XX, or XY, or what? Did they even bother to test for this?! Because that would/should have made a difference in their decision, or at least the gender marker on the birth certificate. Agree that the stepmom is the best one there. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/101044-all-episodes-talk-let%E2%80%99s-talk-about-dr-phil-the-show/page/26/#findComment-2377379
