Awesome.

1. lied to her about going to the church boot camp. 2. said they're waiting for her to be 18 so they can "throw her clothes out and she can be gone so she's no longer our problem." 3. say they don't do anything to discipline her.

[@jibin9109]

all because she is physically abusive and punched and slapped her mom....... very unbelievable right ?

[@lauraelizabethbrown]

@@jibin9109 My point is her behavior is a very obvious result of horrible parenting. Children often learn the best and the worst of their habits from their parents. Especially since the parents admit that they don't even try to discipline her

[@khloegarcia1677]

@@P1995. they should’ve disciplined her before she started acting up. tons of kids don’t react this way because their parents paid attention to them, listened to them and were actually good parents. teenagers don’t just up and become violent and rebellious. those parents did something, or she went through something traumatic that made her this way. and the parents are horrible in getting her to act straight. it’s never too late to parent but they’ve already given up.

Yall know why this girl is doing things a teen shouldnt do? Its because she wants her parents to notice her and be disciplined.

Dr Phil. Please stop traumatizing kids by having them kidnapped in the middle of the night, trafficked across state lines to only be further abused and traumatized at these troubled teen industry places you have been making money off of for years. Kids are being tortured abused sexually mentally physically psychologically emotionally. When we leave these places we suffer from PTSD anxiety nightmares and night terrors and many of us find it hard to function in society after being abused at these places who are following cult theology. I am a survivor of Elan School in Poland Springs Maine. 1988-1991. The terrible truth about these places and what they have been doing for decades to teenagers most of whom we’re acting out as teenagers because of abuse in their own homes. I think it’s wrong that you own a transport company who kidnaps kids and traffics them across state lines. That’s a crime. These kids have had their basic human rights taken away from them and the troubled teen label ensures further abuse because no one will believe them. Same on you Dr Phil. Shame on you.

You know how kids learn "If I throw a bad enough of a tantrum, I get what I want"? THIS GIRL IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHY YOU DON'T GIVE IN TO THOSE TANTRUMS WHEN THEY'RE LITTLE!

[@robingroenbech3876]

She was a sweet young girl, and when she turned older she met bad boys that influenced her, and she's turned into a bad girl - Comments about her not being a monster is wrong, she is a monster, but the parents aren't parenting her well. Same goes for 99% of the globe, there are very few parents in this world that know how to parent their kids well, just look at the chaos we have today. Superficial, drinking and partying, we dont care for others, etc etc etc. Its a result of bad parenting, and young people that don't wanna be responsible and treat others kind.

[@alexblaze8878]

It’s not how you raise them at 13 that’s important, it how you set firm boundaries and rules and consequences when they’re 3 that makes the difference.

[@parentingbeyondbehaviours6382]

Totally agree

[@randombuddy1282]

Okay but always, always the children are products of their environment. Most of the time, it is the parents, but sometimes it truly isn’t. What do you think this one is? 🤔 🧐

[@jibin9109]

can also happen if parents let their kids be free, the parents seem like are just good hearted people who do not want to hurt their daughter, and letting her be free resulted in this ig

[@lauraelizabethbrown]

I think it's a result of her acting out as a result of going through something, combined with her parents not disciplining her when she crosses the line like ever. They even admit in the video that they don't try to discipline her.

It’s a combination of both
