Dr. Phil - Reckless Runaway Teen

Seizoen: 12 - Aflevering: 75 / 1692 - Eerst uitgezonden: 06 januari 2014 - Episode ID: 873416

Brandy and Graham say they have no idea how to control their 16-year-old daughter, Caitlin, who they say has been arrested seven times, dropped out of school and stolen their car at least 15 times. The parents claim that Caitlin is promiscuous, experiments with drugs and runs away from home for days at a time. They say they’ve tried everything — including using a GPS tracking anklet — to keep Caitlin from disappearing, but nothing seems to work. Caitlin admits that she has made some mistakes, but insists that she is mature enough to make her own decisions. Dr. Phil has some tough questions for the teen — and for Brandy and Graham about their parenting choices. Are they contributing to their daughter’s recklessness? And, how can they help her get back on track? Then, in September 2012, 21-year-old Brienna says intruders broke into her apartment, shot her in the head, execution style, and then shot her brother, Remi, and her roommate, Alex. Remi survived the shooting, but Alex was killed. Brienna says she is still struggling to cope — and even sleeps with a loaded gun by her bed every night. How can she begin to heal? Plus, hear from Alex’s father, Rafael -- who says that the shooting should never have happened. Why does he say more lives could be at risk, if the law doesn't change?
