Tune in...Brainwashed parents defend decision to send child to WWASPS.

*Actually this may have been Dundee Ranch.

Weren't they both shut down?

Dr. Phil questions the method Hilary and Robert used to coax Shannon into attending a behavioral school. "You were going to go on vacation. You said, 'We can't leave her with a nanny,' so you told her you were taking her on vacation. You took her instead to a school that was for really problem, hard-case kids and drugs. You dropped her at the school where they had a rule that you can't talk to her personally or see her for a year."

 

"We wrote to her every week," Robert makes clear.

"No, there were times when you didn't even write to me," Shannon shoots back.

Dr. Phil wants to get the facts straight. "You didn't talk to her for a year. You didn't touch her, you didn't hug her," he points out.  

 

"Yes, it was the hardest thing I ever did. It was harder than watching my wife, their mother, die in front me," Robert divulges. "I felt like I was driving her to her execution, but I knew it had to be done."

Dr. Phil shakes his head. "I have to tell you, if I take my child somewhere for whatever reason, and somebody tells me, 'You don't see her until she does A, B, and C,' and that turns out to be a year, that's not OK," he admonishes.

Maybe you can order one from the network?

The most interesting thing to me it is seems maybe ole doc Phil is starting to "get it".

Maybe all those letters to Oprah have actually been read and considered.

Maybe the tide is turning?

This is the same doc Phil who sent kids off to Provo - I wonder if he still would?

Has anyone written to ask him?

BTW - all this is based on the little bit posted here - I didn't see the show myself.

Has anyone written Dr. Phil to thank him?

It would be nice to switch popular culture into thinking that this crap is what it is! Bad!

A good potent dose of main stream media could create that epedemic.

Write him!

Wow -- I actually agree with Dr. Phil.  :eek:  :eek:

I thought he was one of those 'boot camp' talk show hosts ala sally jesse. Good to know that this topic is getting a widespread audience. To think Dr.Phil is smarter than program parents!?  :lol:  :lol:  :lol: Who'd a thunk it?

What a crock.

He sent a 15 year old girl with some real problems to PCS, HIMSELF and I seriously doubt they allowed her to see her own parents.

So what, its only ok when HE does it?  :roll:

I also love how he totally dodged the issue of the psychological abuse, lack of therapy, lack of any evidence it works, and the constant abuse accuastions for the past few decades.

 :roll: Yeah, even a broken clock is right twice a day, guess its about time Dr. Phil got something right - but this is just sooo trite.

No... It's called he's a figurehead of mass media.

So, sometimes it works for us, and other times it sells out the other way. Our cup's half full... :wink:

The most painful aspect of the show for me was watching those brainwashed parents blindly defend the program, and it's rules.

How long has the girl been out? How old was she?

Did the girl say she was treated really bad?

And the parents still support the program? How many years later?

I am very curious, because I am in a very similar situation with my dad. It's very frustrating.

When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans ...... And so a lot of people say there's too much personal freedom. When personal freedom's being abused, you have to move to limit it. That's what we did in the announcement I made last weekend on the public housing projects, about how we're going to have weapon sweeps and more things like that to try to make people safer in their communities.

He sends kids to PCS? Okay, I take back my previous statement about DrPhil being smart! I was sent to PCS but when they told my dad I'd have to spend seven days in isolation at the start he said that sounded weird so we left. Next stop, spring creek lodge. I ended up spending almost a month in iso there though. Kinda ironic. I have never seen the DrPhil show before, but I'd love to see a video of this show if anyone puts it online.  :em:

he doesn't seem to have any real consistency in his statements. PCS is okay but high impact isn't?
