[QUOTE="donna723, post: 454289, member: 1883"] I've seen this twice now on the Dr. Phil show and both times I thought it was just heartbreaking because that poor little boy was obviously terrified! And when you see the whole show, most of the audience was in tears after watching her video. A lot of it just doesn't add up to me though. Who makes a homemade video of themselves obviously abusing one of their children, then sends it off to Dr. Phil begging to be on his show? Surely she knew what kind of reaction it would get! There has to be a lot more going on here and there was so much left unsaid. They never mentioned what agency they went through to adopt this little boy and his twin brother. It's widely known that children adopted from Russian orphanages have many, many problems adjusting to family life but she seemed totally clueless. Did they go in to this blindly? Did they research this before they made the decision to adopt these boys? Did they receive counseling and/or follow-up through the agency that handled the adoption? Did they seek any kind of professional help for this child before it reached this point? Who handles a problem with their child by making a video and sending it to Dr. Phil begging to be on his show? And to me the saddest part is that she seems to have targeted this one little boy. They have six children all together including his twin brother, and at one point she stated that they escalated to these harsh punishments just with him when the disciplinary methods they used with the others didn't work with him. It seems so extreme and it was all over a relatively minor incident that happened at school! This poor little boy who had never known love and had never been part of a family is now terrified of his 'mother', the one who should be his source of love, affection and security. It was awful to watch her getting right in his face and screaming at him in a rage! The poor kid was obviously terrified of her. And I know this is downright catty to even mention, but personally, I think they should file criminal charges against her just for having that stupid hairdo!! Did she [U]pay[/U] somebody to do that to her hair? Does she think that looks good? Makes me just want to slap her! [/QUOTE]
