Topic : 06/10 Deadly Kids

It amazes me the things that people say when they have not walked in your shoes and I know everyone has opinions but some of them are, well, sad.  I along with my children appears on Montel last month for the same subject.  I went there cause honestly Montel is I think more laid back and Dr. Phil in more in your face and I personally didn't think they could handle that.  I have twins and I am a single parent and I truly are afraid of them, that eventually they will kill me.  They are in counseling now (cause I pursued it) with a counselor who is appropriate for them and we are in family counseling also, which we weren't before.  I walk on egg shells each and every day watching what I say to them for fear of a meltdown that could cause harm to one or more of us. 

There are alot of families out there that deal with the each and every day and there are plently of children who are strugging with many issues.  They are not bad kids and we certianly are not bad parents as most people say, blaming us for not doing something correct or giving them too much.  No one has the right to call me a bad parent cause I am not and the parents who write to Dr. Phil or others are at their wits end and have no where else to turn.  I can't speak for them, but I want a nice calm life and I will do whatever it takes to have my children grow up to be responsible, caring, loving adults.

Oh and lastly, don't be so judgemental.  People always think they will know how they would handle a situation but sometimes it isn't that simple.

I want to respond to this becasue , my son also gets in to rages and has been a threat to family members, however all attempts to have him admitted to an inpatient program fails, i am outraged at the care he has recv'd and the lack of compassion for the situation. Local enforcement officers have not helped the situatin either. The safety plan that is supposed to be followed is to call the police and then they will take him to the ER for an evaluation, that is not what happens , he gets arrested and thrown around in jail then bailed out and released, causing even more anger.... even after demanding a crisis intervention...after all the attempts he has made and I have made to correct the situation It will be blood on their hands . My family has also commented that we are going to be the next headline news story , which is sad, because I beleive the mental Health services have failed my son and my family

I watched Michaels behavior as well as the other children in the show.  I believe Michael did not know how he was feeling when his one sibling died and he became confused.  It seems to me over time the mother has not respond to the needs of Michael from the very beginning and it has completely escalated.  I bet he feels his sister is more important then him, and why does his mom always love on her but is mad at him all the time.  Well of course he shows disturbing behavior, but it's almost like it has gotten to the point where he believes that's what is expected of him and that is how he gets attention.

  I am sure he is not mentally stable at this point, but where is the love. I want to just hold him and tell him everything will be alright.  He has a lot of hurt inside I believe. I am crying right now just thinking of his pain.

  I felt like the mother was just putting him off until he turns ten so that the police can come and take him away.  She probably doesn't know how to handle the situation I am sure, but why turn your back on him.  He is still a little boy who needs help.  I don't believe his situation is as disturbing as the other little boy who was poisoning the family.  That is scary.

By the way, Michael walking in on his family in the middle of the night, think of what he is seeing?  Do the mom and dad even sleep in the same room?  So here is the mother sleeping with his sister holding her, cuddling and comforting her from him?  What kind of message is that sending him?  Maybe it should be the other way around and she should be in his room.  Where was the Father's involvement in all this. Does he not lay down the law or what? 

Dear Dr. Phil,

You keep mentioning HEAVY METAL TOXICITY... how are today's children getting all these heavy metals in their blood???  Where are they coming from???  You refer families to Dr. Lawless so they can be evaluated... where does DR. LAWLESS say all these metals are coming from???

I am sure evaluations at the Lawless Center would help a lot of families, but that's got to cost thousands of dollars, right?  Most families can't afford to seek that kind of treatment.

Is there something ordinary, working parents can do to help their children avoid this metal toxicity, before autism or ODD or any number of violent diseases destroys their and their children's lives?

If there's something parents can do to PREVENT this, shouldn't you TELL THEM???
