Boy Under The Stairs

His father, Bradley, and stepmother, Tammi, were arrested and charged with felony child endangerment. In a Dr. Phil exclusive, the boy’s biological mother, Windy Hall, shares her side of the story.

[@LindaEckertBallard]

As a victim of a narcissist husband - and my own experience, I could see the hate in the daddy's eyes with regard to the poor child. He saw his Xwife when he saw the child, and every blow the boy took was a blow to the mom. These types of father/husbands couldn't care less about their children and will use them every way they can to punish the mom. Sadly, often the moms have to bow out because then both child and husband both hate the mom and the child doesn't have a clue that it wasn't all their own Idea 😢

The mother spent two years doing her best to get her son back. After knowing something was wrong she called CPS multiple times but CPS failed the help. She called the police multiple times but they told her they can’t do anything.

[@DannyD-lr5yg]

Probably rehab at first or something. And then, sadly, once your kid is in “the system,” it can become VERY VERY hard to get them back - even if you’re fully ready and able and willing to care for them again; even if you’re now the absolute best choice for a parent. CPS does not care.

She could’ve done something you know if somebody.

[@AngelaJames-jr2lo]

My heart is broken ❤

[@leighhoppins9273]

Yeah, some dogs are aggressive. Some dogs do and have killed people and other dogs but It’s within good reason I mean if you look at one of my mom’s dogs, his name is Lucas. He hasn’t really bitten anybody has tried, but not very often. And yeah, his name is Lucas and he was on. He was born in Mexico and that’s where the organization went and rescued him because he was chained up without any shelter to hide from like bad storms and or loud noises he was not socialized with other people at all. And who knows he might’ve been abused like physically and emotionally or maybe even or you know but I know that they didn’t feed him very much because he said that he was very very very malnourished And yeah, he was like this kid he was kept from food you know They barely ever fed them, and he wasn’t the only dog that went through that there was multiple dogs there that they rescued. They couldn’t take every single one sadly because she didn’t allow that and I don’t know why they shouldn’t have gave her that right to do that you know. I don’t know why she has that right you know because now who knows those dogs she has now that they left behind probably been even worse than they were before if not, God forbid but you know it doesn’t look too good for them Because when a person gets caught like that, they get very angry, and then they become even more abusive and more nasty and horrible people you know, especially when somebody calls the police or an organization and they have their dogs taken away on them because they know that behaviour wrong Yeah, I would be afraid of the people living there you know

Because she could show up with her visitation orders and a cop and pick that kid up the same day. So what’s really going on here?

[@rachel4339]

He took their son out of state, and when you share custody that’s perfectly legal. She did try to get law enforcement to assist and they refused and said it’s a custody matter for the judge. It took almost a year to even get the case in front of the judge. Turns out, it’s actually not as simple as you think it is in every case.
