Does anyone remember this Dr. Phil episode?

Question

There was an episode on years back about a woman who did something and Dr. Phil said that if he told "child protective services would be on her doorstep tomorrow." He said that once it was resolved that he would come back and tell what it was. I never saw an episode where he did, and I was wondering if it was ever said? This had to have been a good three years ago.

Answer 1

I remember the episode, a bit, but don't remember there being an outcome, except for her getting told she needed treatment, and the other woman living there needed it too, and the boy needed help for ADHD, I think. I vaguely remember there was a boy who was getting yelled at and cursed at all the time. Or I could be mixing that episode with one that featured a mother who was still married and terrorizing her seven and ten? year old daughters.

Answer 2

It's sounding like the one where the nother screamed at her children and physically beat the one older boy so badly-you could hear him crying and begging her to stop. She tried to step out of camera range, but you could hear her hitting him. They did a follow up on that show and both the mother and the father had gotten help. They claimed to have gotten much better. Dr. Phil aslo got help for the children who had to endure the abuse.

Answer 3

YoYo has it right, "A Mother's Rage." OOOOH, but that damn Karen pissed me off BIG TIME, and her husband wasn't any better. I can't say what I'm really thinking here because then I'll get violated. All I can say is... I know violence isn't the answer, but if that were MY wife beating on my son, she would end up in the hospital when I get through with HER!

Answer 4

I think this is the one you are talking about
