My name is Julania and I was watching your show Friday and could not believe my eyes... For one, I, as a mother, would never let my child go anywhere I thought she was being molested, even if it were her father... Not till the situation was settled.. he could visit with her supervised... Sorry Dr. Phil, I don't believe this guy... Don't mean to be judgemental but there was just something about him... maybe it was the long answers, having to think about his answer... The fathers of my children would have knocked anyone in the chops for such a suggestion and this guy has to "think about it"....
And for two, what these parents are doing to their child with the visitation pickup in my opinion is torture... Can't they see that the way they are handling it is obviously not working.... She needs to visit with daddy in a more comfortable environment until the feels safe in going with him... Maybe mommy need not be there when daddy picks her up... let someone she's not so attached to give her to daddy.... (I know your the doctor... just giving my opinion)
In the United States, if a mother does not send her child to visitation that is court ordered, then she is in contempt of court and the judge often awards custody to the father. It happens every day. The mother is NOT in charge of custody, the judge is. By the way, judges are not trained in regards to sexual abuse.
It doesn't matter who is with the daughter when the dad picks her up. She doesn't want to go because she is being abused there. (How can anyone deny that with the torn labia?) Do you really think that she will eventually feel comfortable being abused?
I know from experience that almost ALL sexual abusers answer questions in the same exact way the father did. I have seen it numerous times. Totally cocky.
Dr. Phil, in case you haven't noticed, CPS fails children EVERY SINGLE DAY!
