Absolutely true, Chris!

I am a Dr. Phil fan, and sometimes if I see the preview for the coming show, I tape it because I work full-time.

I taped a show last week where a 'raging mom' hit her beautiful ten-year-old boy over the head, kicked him, choked him, and called him every vile name she could think of. This was all on film. The part of the beating that wasn't on film took place in the boy's bedroom and all you could hear was "Please don't Mommy, please" and 'ow' so many times. The father was also on the show and said he thought they were a team and said he didn't know all that was going on. He admitted to kicking the boy with the side of his boot, as well as hitting the children on the bum with a stick he got from his friend. When Dr. Phil interviewed the two children, they were scared to death of THE STICK so that tells me they were beat with it a LOT more than the Dad let on...

I couldn't get the show out of my mind, so I went to the Dr. Phil website and there were at least six pages of people that posted about the abuse or the abuse that was incurred to them in their home when they were growing up...

It is horrifying to me how one can call a child names or that parents say they hate their own kids or the vile abuse they put on these priceless, innocent children...makes me cry just posting about this...

Of course, Dr. Phil had to report this to Child Services and was getting immediate help for the whole family. He also told the woman that because she was brave enough to let the cameras witness her in the worst possible way, that she may have helped people see themselves in her and do something about it!
