A mother’s suspicion, a dirty secret from the past and shocking allegations continue as Sherie-Lynn and her husband, Todd, confront the man they suspect has molested Sherie-Lynn’s son, Parker. Did Sherie-Lynn’s own father, Al, whom she claims violated her as a child, turn his sick attentions to his own grandson? Is that why Parker, now 12, has been acting out sexually since he was 4 and has recently been expelled from school for violent behavior and inappropriate sexual conduct? Al admits he inappropriately touched Sherie-Lynn when she was just 2 weeks old, but says that was it, and says he never touched Parker. But as Dr. Phil digs deeper, he uncovers physical abuse and three other possible victims. Will a lie detector test settle the matter once and for all? Sherie-Lynn’s brother, Marty, doesn’t know what to believe. How will he feel about his father babysitting his own kids after the results of the polygraph test? And, what happens next for Parker? Join the discussion.

Find out what happened on the show.

Al's a Nutbag.........

I love how these people "all of the sudden" find God and try and hide behind him and religion after they commit some horrendous act! This Al guy is a nutbag! Somethings not right with him!

Just like this religious sect in Texas. This is exactly why I don't believe in God or a higher power anymore. Religion is a big sham. More people have been tortured, murdered, maimed, abused etc. in the name of God and religion then by anything else! I use to believe when I was younger, but as I've gotten older, I no longer believe. I would love to truly believe in some kind of higher power, but as time goes on and the more I see and hear, the more cemented my beliefs become in there being no God.

GOD

He keeps saying God is going to protect him and God knows the truth. Your darn right that God knows the truth. And the truth is OUR GOD is going to send him straight to HELL!

04/25 Confronting Grandpa

 The woman who claims her father molested her was less than believable. If he hadn't admitted it, I wouldn't believe her. Her screwing up her face to cry with no tears in sight was just creepy. Instead of going back in time, what are they doing to help her SON - who has obviously been abused and needs help right now ???

pedophile

I get chills looking at that creep!  His eyes are flat and evil and scare me.  And all of the smiling he did throughout the show?  That man is very lucky that my husband was not sitting across from him on stage.  I hope he goes to prison and stays there.  And his wife?  Please, someone get her some help.  She must have been plenty abused too to be able to feel so powerless.

Quote From: baker167

My question is, why is this man not in jail?  If he has already admitted to sexually deviant behavior with Sherie-Lynn, then why is he allowed to even be near any other children?

have him arrested!  maybe this will wake him up about this horrific act he has done to his daughter and now grandson. grandma should leave him and get counceling.

Follow up on degenerate Grandpa

 I am torn in many directions by today's show.  Grandpa Al represents the worst of humanity in part because he refuses to take responsibility for the damage he's obviously done.  His behavior, logic and affect were all "off" and I commend the woman's husband for not leaping across the stage to beat the old guy senseless!  If he cared at all for his daughter, his grandson, his wife...he would take this situation seriously and try to mend whatever happened to them.  His response was to laugh and clap along as they bared their souls and criticized him.  Truly DISGUSTING!

My conflict is in Dr. Phil giving this guy such a public forum.  I understand that these problems fester because they are kept secret, but my stomach churns at the thought of this character getting air-time and a large audience to "preach" his perverted doctrine to.  I hope that the woman and her husband will follow through in denying this abuser access to their children and work to prevent him from offending other unsuspecting children.  I also hope that Dr. Phil will update us on the progress that the family makes.  Though I am not normally a church-going person, today I will pray for them all and wish them peace.
