I just saw an ad for a new Dr. Phil show to be aired next week in which a mother is accusing her husband/boyfriend (?) of molesting their child. They showed really emotionally intense scenes with the 3 yr. old girl crying and saying that he hurt her. I remember a similarly disturbing story being aired a couple of years ago about a brother who molested his baby sister. Does anybody else think that it is ENTIRELY innapropriate for this type of show to be aired? It seems like if a family needs this type of help, they should get it privately, as to not traumatize the child. I'm starting to think that Dr. Phil is turning into Jerry Springer...using sensational topics to bring in numbers...but even worse, he is exploiting a potentially abused child for his own gain, which makes me really angry. What do you guys think?
