Have you watched the show yet? Lets not jump to conclusions.. I too was upset that this mom called her children brats... she needs help, not only for her child but for herself  and her entire family to understand. She is also I'm sure  having a million mixed emotions. I don't agree with her tactics but she did come forward to get help. Maybe Dr. Phil wanted her case to come forward first because of the severity of it so if there are any other mothers that are dealing the same way as this mom they would come forward and get help too. When you see that everything is just peachy, sometimes it makes you feel worse about your uncontrolled situation and you don't get help because of the embarrassment. Please look at all angles and don't lash out when you haven't seen the show. We have only seen clippings and usually they are the worst to get us interested... it sure did didn't it???  I'm not saying that I disagree with the fact that the mom is WRONG, but she did do something RIGHT in looking for help and answers. Mothers of PWS children need SUPPORT, lets stand behind them right or wrong and help by giving constructive criticism rather than knocking them down when they have made bad decisions. We all make bad decisions at some point, some worse than others but we need to be forgiving and helpful so it doesn't happen any more. I went into a rage when I first saw the clips from the show also... It gives you a horrible feeling in your stomach but lets pull together and help this mom so she can take care of her child appropriately with the love and care Savanah deserves.
