I can not believe what I just watched...Dr. Phil I am shocked you did not call out her mom on her behavior and contributions to this situation.  I mean good lord it is not like it was a surprise she took off over there again.  I mean seriously what was her parents thinking....when she got brought home the first time why didnt they Disconnect the internet....disconnect her cell phone and change their home number??? I had a similar instance with my daughter and the first thing I did was disconnect the internet, sure she was mad but I didnt care, it was for her safety and it worked.  I have a very hard time sympathizing with this family on this, cause from what I can see they did NOTHING to stop this from happening then they act all surprised and hurt and shocked....what did they think would happen?  They did nothing to stop the communication for 2 whole years, so now they must reap what they have sowed...I hope the girl finds her way through all this and I hope this is a warning to other parents to be aware of such things we are not ment to be friends to our children....we are PARENTS no matter how mad they get at us.  And mom I hope you realize what contributions you have made to this situation...your not the victim, you were the passenger in a car that YOU were driving.  Take responsiblity for you part in all this.
