Did any of you catch the Dr. Phil show yesterday. The topic was "We think our son is a sexual preditor".
This was a 2 part show that was on Wed. and Thursday. I watched the whole thing. It was a really hard show to watch but a very good one. Turned out that the 19 year old son was molesting his little 4 year old sister and probably has been since she was 2. The parents started suspecting him when the daughter was 2 because her private parts were red and swollen. They still let that boy babysit the little girl even though they suspected this was happening!!!
Dr. Phil gave him a lie detector test and proved that he was doing everything he was accused of doing. Inapproprietly touchy different girls and molesting his little sister. Those parents should've got their son help right from the get go. He was apparently sexually abused himself.
At the end of the show, I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the boy and at the same time very angry at him. He knew that if he told the truth, he'd be getting kicked out and he had nowhere to go. Dr. phil said he will help him even if his parents don't ever speak to him again.
I personally don't think that a sexual preditor can be rehabilitated, even if it is a kid. Dr. Phil seems to think that he can help this kid though.
It was a really interesting show to watch. I'm glad I didn't miss it!
For whoever watched the show, what are your thoughts?
