Dr. Phil checks back in with Christy and Stacy, two squabbling sisters who captivated viewers and lit up the message boards! Christy thinks Stacy’s husband is a pedophile, and she reported them both to Child Protective Services for physical abuse and allegedly downloading child porn. The drama continued after the show. Find out what happened when the women returned home. Then, Christy and her husband, Alan, say the previous show was one-sided and portrayed them in a negative light. Dr. Phil gives the disgruntled guests a chance to air their grievances, but will Christy be appeased? And, Stacy’s children say their aunt’s allegations have turned their lives upside down. Hear why the youngest kids say they live in constant fear. Plus, both sisters take a four-hour polygraph test to see who’s really telling the truth. Tell us what you think!

Find out what happened on the show.

I couldn't agree more

Quote From: trayosborn

I just wanted to congratulate you Dr. Phil for mantaining control with Christy. She showed what an a** she truly is and having had to older evil sisters, I took grate pleasure in seeing her true colors shine. I was tormented by my sisters and have been afraid of them my whole life, I wish I had the courage to stand up to an abusive sister like Christy and tell her off. Maybe she should worry more about her own life and leave her sister and her family alone. Christy, get a life or take out your vengence on your own life and leave your sister and her family alone. You are jealous, mean and a bully and I hope you watch the show over and over because you made an a** out of yourself and should be ashamed.

I grew up with a bully myself and I am so glad someone else sees through her as clearly as I do. She is so abusive and unbelievably rude. I tuned in time to hear her accuse Dr Phil of minimizing child abuse and talking about how the message boards shredded her ego. She told selective truths and out and out lies, relenting to "I don't watch your show that often" LOL when confronted by her own lies. A person like Chrissy doesn't listen to people, she just waits for a sound bite so she can jump in and throw more gas on the fire. She screams "LISTEN TO ME!" and talks over everyone else and makes a point to take shots at her sister every chance she gets. I think "knife in the back" is an apt description of her actions and I can't believe her sister gives her the time of day.

Denial

Quote From: chitown7

It's incredibly sad that Christy doesn't see the inconsistencies in her logic that are so apparent to everyone else. The mere fact that she is unwilling to consider the idea that she could be wrong, that she has so deeply entrenched herself in her beliefs, that she refuses to be swayed by the mountain of evidence against her allegations; is in itself a sign that she is not operating in reality. You cannot have a logical arguement with an illogical person. You cannot resolve issues realistically if those involved refuse to face reality.
If Christy has experienced childhood trauma at the hands of her family members, yet cannot concede that those events may be skewing her vision of reality today, then she is truly trapped in a prision of her own making. It must be horrible living with so much unresolved anger, hostility, & fear that it makes you incapable of functioning in your own life. Instead of focusing her obvious passion for fighting childhood abuse into a healthy and productive contribution to organizations that help children who could benefit from the aid of such a determined advocate, she continues to focus all of her attention on these children - even to the point that her assistance has become abusive in itself. It is as though she is driven to ensure that the legacy of THIS family is one of abuse so that she feels vindicated for the pain she suffered as a child. Such transferrece is not helpful, but instead an unhealthy, damaging form of self-medication.

Wow, very well put! I totally agree...are you a counselor yourself? If not, you should be, because your response shows empathy and understanding for Christy and the inner pain that's driving her to this, instead of the anger most of us initially felt at her bitter, bullying denials.

Dr. Phil

My question is this: When Dr. Phil announced the results of the polygraph and the accusing sister was told that she failed 2 of the questions...Why didn't Dr. Phil call her on them and ask her why she lied? She never even replied about failing them.

09/05 Family Follow-up

Quote From: mill2231

I am glad you asked that question? I was not only a victim of child molestation (12 year history) but head a ministry that counsels women with sexual abuse issues, The truth is that most children will not tell, for various reasons. Many children will not tell because the abuser is almost always a family member or a close friend. They will not tell if the abuser tells them not to. It is as simple as that! Sometimes the abuser offers a gift or makes them some other kinfd of promise. Sometimes the abuser threatens to hurt of harm the child or his/her family( there are lesser cases of this type). However, more often than not the abusers "authority" over the child alone is the case. If there is trouble in the home often children feel that telling will only contribute to the problem.

Simply asking a child whether they have been abused or not is surely not enough. For more information on signs and behaviors of sexual abuse you can look up RAINN on the internet. I believe Christy might have been abused and therefore might truly be noticing signs of abuse in her sisters home. We simply cannot take it for granted based on a persons demeanor, proper or irrate. Someone should eally look into this allegation a lot deeper.

"Someone should really look into this allegation a lot deeper."

Just how much deeper should they go? CPS, the police, the DA's office and Dr.Phil have all looked into this allegation and so far not one shred of evidence has been found to support it. That's why I asked if this person had seen the same show. No one simply took it for granted that Christy was lying. She was proven to be lying. As for noticing signs of abuse, had you checked the storyline more closely you would find out that Christy rarely sees Stacy's children.

Where is my message from yesterday?

Quote From: lepasley

A man with porn is NOT necessarily a man who would perp his own children. You are too close. You have issues that taint your opinion. Get some balance and logic.

I would like to know why my message is not here from yesterday? It was in support of Christy? Hum I find that quite odd, it was very lengthy too and I left and email address where she could write me. I am not sayiing that everything she did was right, but I think someone who is looking at child porn and brings her sister into the situation then slams her for being concerned, isn't all that innocent. ONe of the questions that was asked of her on the polygraph test was whether or not her husband sexually molesed their children? HOw the hell does she know unless she was there? Nobody that I saw asked her if her husband sexually abused their kids in her presence. I know I for one protected my parents shouting from the rooftops and their was an insane amount of abuse in my home. I am not ostracized from my father, the best thing that ever happened to me.

So I say there is definitely two sides to this and I would like to know why my message from yesterday is not on here now!!

Christy

I watched the show yesterday.I find that Christy has been playing things around in her mind a lot. Yes Christy in your mind. I think you have made things up in your mind so much that it has become so real to you that you believe it is real. Even though you took that polygraph test it still showed you were lying about some things. I found it very harmful to your sister to say that she had 40 years to work on the lies she was telling. I find you are really needing mental help as a baby being born into the world does not come into the world with the thought of " Let me think of what to say and do so that my children can be abused" Wake up and hear what you are saying. You have harmed your neices and nephew to the point where the one does not call you Aunt but my mothers sister that is really bad. To say you had not chance to speak, not everything was said, it is so stupid for you to say that esepcailly since there is a recording of it, transcripts, and lots of viewers who saw it to and some of us saw it twice due to another family member not home when it came on.

Now in defense of reporting this happening. Yes, one should report when this happens but when it comes out in government agencies and courts that all the accusations made are not true. Then it is time for you to back off and leave it alone. You have a vendenta against your sister which is so unfair that it has blinded you in what is good for the children. Now you can include me into the comments that were not nice to you . Sorry, Christy, but you are in the wrong.

09/05 Family Follow-up

Quote From: galvezeagle

When one has a trained eye, one can tell exactly who is lying and who is not. "Proof" is not always the benchmark of accuracy in one's suspicions. Christy's sister is a liar, and those children are having to pay for it. Maybe all they can get out of this whole thing is that there is another way to live--rather than how they were brought up. they will admit nothing now because they live in their parents' house or maybe because they aren't so much bothered by this lifestyle because it gives them free reign to behave in awful ways themselves. Who knows? But as far as knowing who is lying and who is not, I know.

Really? You know?

Because you know Stacy? I do.

Have met (any) of her children? I have.

You have seen them behave in "awful" ways? I haven't, unless you count her youngest and my eldest spraying starch on the carpet.

You do know that the two eldest are adults out of the house? I did.

response to e-mail

Quote From: tanyapalumbo

Having spent more than 25 years at both a Direct Service and Administrative level in the field of Human Services, with many years of experience working specifically in the Child Advocacy arena, I am apalled at the behavior of this accusing sister. I am also interested in whether or not these children received services through an accredited Child Advocacy Center. I have 100% confidence in forensic interviews conducted by a certified specialist, and am curious if these children were interviewed in such a setting. This accusing sister is fortunate that her sister has not pursued legal action against the accusing sister for the harm she has caused her family. Ironically, it is actually the Aunt (the accusing sister) who has 'abused' (emotionally and psychologically) these children. The direct and inappropriate contact she had with her sister's child where she threatened that her parents were going to jail and they were going into foster care, etc. is reprehensible! The environment of fear and terror that she instigated is inexcusable. Dr. Phil hit the nail on the head when he drew the conclusion that the sister's childhood memories have spilled over into this horrific situation. Unlike Dr. Phil, I do NOT believe that the sister honestly believes the accusations she had made. I feel that she has a deep, perhaps subconscious, agenda to seek revenge against her sister for perceived wrongs perpetrated against her in childhood. This woman would benefit from therapy to address her anger issues. Holding onto this anger is only hurting her, her family and has hurt her sister and her nieces/nephews horribly.

I believe that you have hit the "proverble" nail on the head!!

09/05 FAMILY FOLLOW-UP

Quote From: camberransom

This story was very disturbing to me, Christy is clearly mentally ill.

She is also quite rude telling the viewers that she "doesnt watch the show" ....her false accusations proved what a complete lunatic she is.

I agree that the show was upsetting, I cant believe Dr Phil had to validate himself to someone who truly belongs in an institution. Christy is actually the abusive one treating those poor children like that, she is a disgrace.

Kudos to you Dr Phil ...you did the right thing and make sure she doesn't get a hold of your personal cell phone number!

I agree something is not right with Christy.... I think this girl has a big problem with her sister Stacey and I think she is making this stuff up and I think what happened was that when she started this crusade against Stacey and her family, alot of people were mad at her so she choose to stand her ground in order to appear "right" because her accusations were so serious she didn't know how to take it back and apologize . Now she's caused so much damage AND she comes off as crazy, this girl is NOT going to stop!! She is going to keep going to try to proove herself right, in the meantime, Stacey's family, expecially the kids are suffering and will suffer for a very long time... Thank God, Dr. Phil offered councilling to those kids, they absolutely need it because of what "crazy christie" has done!! As for Stacey, she comes across as someone who hides nothing and is a loving mother....not perfect to her own admission and none of us are!!! I loved it when Christy stated that she "wants to stop the abuse in her family" and Stacey responded with "then stop abusing my kids"... Little miss Christy was almost tongue tied!!! Christie.. your behaviour is abusive!!! She claims she was abused as a child, maybe she was, maybe she wasn't... I'm not sure I believe that after her behaviour on both shows!! CHRISTIE, GET OVER IT - GET HELP GIRL BEFORE YOU DO ANYMORE DAMAGE!! And COME ON Christy's husband.. whats wrong wth you, you hardly said a word, did your wife force you to attend with her?!! Dr. Phil was right in doing this show because a family was hurt and damaged by Christy's behaviour and it's important to expose the damage that can come from this type of hate!! STACEY, KEEP YOUR FAMILY AWAY FROM YOUR TOXIC SISTER!! Thats my take on it! DR. PHIL.. AS ALWAYS, YOU HANDLED IT ALL WITH SUCH EXPERIENCE AND CLASS!!!

I think that Christy is just a mean, jealous, vindictive horrible person. I do not believe that she believes the lies that she is telling. She needs to be taught a good lesson by Stacy and her husband suing her and her husband for the false accusations. Dr Phil was way to easy on her, sure hope we find out what happens to her.
