Follow up show yes...but...

I would've apologized even if it wasn't on the show. I'm not saying the SIL is perfect there are things that I don't agree with the thumping in the mouth incident or forcing her to eat either but the test results revealed that he wasn't a molester. If those tests can be fooled, why are they used so much, and why submit him to only one test? If that other family member felt so strongly and witnessed him inappropriately touching his daughter, then that person should have been on stage ready to confront him with what they saw! I know I would if I had seen anything like that. I don't have any respect for meddling in laws although I'm not married I've had experiences with my fiance's meddling mother and some people just don't know when to draw the line. Her daughter needs to get a backbone and live her life. I think Dr. Phil should have a follow up show to check up on how things are going for this family. A few people on this message board have said, "Where's the person who saw him tickling her private parts?" That would have been good information for the viewers to have--since it seemed to be the main motivation for the grandmother to report abuse to the authorities.
Also, I'd like to see on a follow-up show just how easy it is to fool a lie detector test, and since it is only 96% accurate could he be still lying? I think they need to face that possibility (the producers and Dr.P) and not give this guy full and squeaky clean absolution or "not-guilty" verdict, based on that outcome. My gut says he is lying--and I have come to trust my gut from a lot of practical experience.
There ARE meddling in-laws. I am sorry if you have some. But it is important, I believe, to be objective and not project our own personal experiences over other similar situations. And at the same time it is important to use our intuition.
