Sadly, I don't see the boyfriend moving out. That chick is one of those "I need a man in my life" persons who will always put the man before the children.
I will never understand a single parent moving a boy/girlfriend into the home with their child within months of starting a relationship. It's just not a wise choice.
Fr. Ugh, it's so disgusting and just utterly selfish. They really thought that letting practically a *stranger,* this unknown *big man* come in as a authoritarian "parent" would be ok??? Letting him move in at all!? They're literally *bullies.* Both verbally and physically abusive. They demand all too much from him. This little boy is rightfully scared af. Who wouldn't be? They also don't allow him to express himself. He have no safety. He's losing more and more love and affection, (emotional) space, his place in the home, he's losing everything while getting abused because he's scared. HOW can anyone be this selfish. What a terrible mother and arrogant "step-father". They're all letting him down. They don't care about him. He's become a burden to them, and he feels the same. He's internalizing the abuse, leaving him feeling like nothing. No self esteem, just self hatred. There's no wonder why he acts like he does. I mean, who wouldn't?
Yep. I just walk away from people like this. If you try to help they turn on you and drag you down. And you can’t warn them of the train you see headed for them because they know it all. All you can do is call someone to help the kids and let these people burn themselves up.
But maybe she should 🤷🏽♀️. If she can’t handle this which isn’t an easy thing and are likely to drive abuse then let him be with someone who is equipped
@@allthatsheiz if she gives him up & he doesn’t get to live with his grandmother, then he will likely be abused by the system on top of what he is already enduring. My mother is a high up supervisor for CPS in my city. She and I constantly have talks about how flawed the system is (CPS, parent services, foster care, group homes, etc.).
@@amelialaw8758 Adoption is “for good”. There are no take backs. I’m not trying to come off as rude (sorry if it sounds that way), but I have seen firsthand being in a group home myself for half of my teenage years- the abuse. Also, my twin sister went to foster care, we were getting in trouble prior to this (smoking pot, cutting class) and my parents gave us up. That is something we are working on now (building back trust, and relationships)... or should I say I? My sister my twin sister is now dead (March 3rd), and she endured nothing but heartbreak as a child, and as a teenager, an adult- no support, no help. No preparedness for the harsh world she re-entered with nothing. The statistics are jarring, and the sad part is the statistics aren’t even correct, because there are so many that are not reported. 😓
I stg I don’t remember the last video/movie/book/etc that’s made me cry and I’m bawling! This poor boy deserves patience, positive reinforcement and unconditional love… I just can’t understand these “parents”
She literally gave the kid a tap on the wrist OMG She is the Vilest Parent ever I'm not saying she is the Best Parent but you are all 100% overdoing it on Vilifying this mother
@@chrismiksworld exactly! They’re acting like these are parents not feeding their child and hurting them to the point they have injuries ☠️☠️☠️☠️ it’s so dramatic if people are actually crying over this
@@tiffanyozturk3498 seriously. I remember being a kid, thinking that bc my mother resented me for being born with a heart defect that requires multiple surgeries. THAT made me hate myself. I didn’t really hate myself, my mother resented me so much, I thought if she hated me, then I don’t like myself either.
I totally agree Her son knows he doesn’t like how his mom is trying to discipline him and wants to please his parents and “be better.” A child shouldn’t have to endure sorting all of his emotions out while getting absolutely shamed for it and directed with yelling.
@Imari Brown I agree. But that's not what's happening here. She's immature, lazy and vindictive, the boyfriend is a moronic neanderthal. The father is also immature and lazy, but at least he shows genuine compassion for the child. Most people love the idea of being a parent, but a large percentage don't understand how much work it takes to raise healthy adults. They don't understand the vast amount of emotional labor that raising children requires. And because the cycle is so easily repeated, you have generational dysfunction that can result in a near continuous loop. As a society we need to educate people to these realities. We also need to normalize being childfree. Not everyone is equipped to raise children.
@@abird1539 I was thinking that too...she really needs to have him leave until she can work with her son and get him to where he needs to be...He should be her #1 priority...Not a guy...
Not necessarily. My daughter wanted to go to her dad's because he never made her do anything. He didn't make her go to school, do chores, clean up her mess, nothing. At my house, you must go to school, at the VERY least. Period.
They are 100% instigating him... when he's having a full meltdown, not even a violent one just crying and anxiety attack, the mom shoves the camera in his face and tells him that nobody wants him. The boyfriend towers over him starting problems when he was relatively calm, and saying "he's doing that to get himself mad so he can be bad" what??. They started that one 100% on them. This poor child is living in chaos and constant yelling and crying and loud nose and everyone in his face.... that's so sad. I've never seen a child
Absolutely ! Not to mention the statistics of live in boyfriends & abuse. He has no business parenting or disciplining those kids. He probably wont even be around in a few years
Yup. And then I can’t help but to feel if that’s what she felt comfortable to film and share with Dr.Phil and millions of people, what on earth are those two monsters really capable of doing when not taping. 🤔
@@hayesydays6333 i thought that was the boyfriend not the husband/father. he said he's never had children of his own in the video so yes he should probably go to his father
Hey little guy, if you see this online when you get older plz know that there are people world wide sending you love and respect. We are rooting for YOU! You deserve love and respect and nobody should ever put their hands on you!
@@Colorfulmind1 means 2 things, how do we know what he’ll turn out like, prolly the same prolly not, 2nd are we saying it’s fully the parents fault or both ways
He’s only 7 he might not even know why he’s so angry. That’s why tantrums happen. When you can’t express feelings they come out physically in the form of crying, screaming, hitting. He’s just trying to let his emotions out. My heart is crying for this child.
Same here. They don't give him a chance to voice what he's feeling. Shoot, the mother is awful and I'll bet she never taught him how to express himself. My babies know how to voice their feelings....and if they don't know how they feel at that moment, we work it out together to find out what's bothering them. Sad to see this stone age parenting 😔
I hate to call a parent literally terrible, but the maturity of this mother is on the level of the kid. And they boyfriend shouldn’t even be parenting. He’s been there 8 whole months. She’s a flake and honestly, he would be better off with another family.
19:08 is very dangerous behaviour on the mother's behalf. She is essentially saying that you can't disagree with an adult. Which is wrong, this is how dangerous situations happen where the child feels like they can't say no. Also, yelling "who's the adult" feels like the mother is on a weird power trip. That poor boy, I hope his father gets full custody and the mother learns to be a better parent.
She should have just walked away instead of bullying him. She totally escalated the situation. It's okay to take away video games. But to sit there and make that child feel powerless is wrong. Acknowledge that you can see he is upset, and that you will give him time and space to calm down, then walk away.
I love how they keep bringing up that he has medical and mental health issues yet they aren't being sensitive to those issues AT ALL! They just like poor us he has all these issues that make OUR lives so hard
I'm sorry you went through that. I feel like I can also empathize with this poor kid. I had ADHD as a kid I recall feeling like a monster. I still have a hard time forgiving myself for who I am.
If that’s what she feels comfortable to film and give to Dr. Phil to view and share with millions of people, I truly fear the monsters they are when there’s no recording in process. Poor little man, I just want to hug him.
As someone who went trough this type of emotional abuse, the parents are making it worse. My stepdad was both of these people my mom ignored. Them restraining him, them hitting is hands, threatening to hit him etc.
It’s just called respect and clearly her son doesn’t have any she’s being a mom trying to show her kid how to be good and he’s not listening like you guys are so soft it’s sad
When he said he hated himself was such a clear indicator of the emotional abuse he is dealing with from his parents. That's 100% a learned thought process bc his family probably doesnt show him how to love himself because they cant even show him love and compassion. Poor kid
He hates himself because he feels like his parents hate him, and that it must have been something he did to *make* them hate him, like he's done it to himself, and now he blames himself for the way his parents are 🥺😭 some people should not be allowed to have children 😭
I don’t think his parents are all bad he’s obviously doing some HORRIBLE things too especially towards his brother. Sometimes it’s both of them this kid has issues like he hasn’t been disciplined till this age. I had HORRIBLE parents but I wasn’t a huge annoying brat like this kid.
People always make up nonsense. If it was the parents well how comes the other children are fine. Goes to show how little people understand things an are quick to point the finger.
*"DON'T SCRATCH MY COUCH!"* was unreal to me as a mother. The poor kid is being tormented not parented!! I have a 5 year old son on the spectrum who has behavior problems. *NEVER* would I hit him or belittle him! These ppl are a disgrace!
And I didn't hear them being reprimanded for each and every infraction against the child. They are tormenting him and I know if their this open about abusing this Child, it's been so much worse for him when the cameras weren't around. She better get the ultimatum boyfriend or Children, because together the2 are a disaster waiting to happen. Prevention is key.
The comments restore my faith in humanity. I am so glad awful parents like this are not the norm and the majority of people out here have empathy for this helpless poor child. My heart breaks for him. May God help him.
Agreed! Her abu*e and neglect has made him who he is. His actions are an action of her parenting 100%. Now that she's created this situation she's trying to just demand a change from everyone but herself. Like lady, get real. You are the problem! I hope she gets help. Heck, both parents couuld use some! That poor little boy needs out of that situation 🙏😢
I’m a nanny and one of the kids I watch is a boy about his age that gets himself worked up easily over minor things. Instead of yelling at him to stop, I just sit down next to him and rub his back. I calmly and WARMLY instruct him to breathe. I reinforce that everything will be okay. I help regulate his emotions when he isn’t able to do it himself. Once he calms down, I give him a hug and he gets up and plays. *THAT’S* how you handle an emotional child! You don’t antagonize or insult them! You don’t intimidate them! I’m not saying don’t punish him if he does something wrong; just make sure he knows that you’re on his side and that you want the best for him. I’m just so upset watching this! *Edit* Okay, please stop “diagnosing” the boy I watch. I have my degree in psychology and see absolutely nothing warranting professional help. He is a happy, healthy little boy who occasionally overreacts to things that upset him. Not every crying spell in a CHILD means that there is something more insidious lying in wait!
As someone who’s watched others kids for 15 years I 100% agree with you. The only other solution is to ignore till they calm down you don’t antagonize them.
THANK YOU!! I have horrible anxiety and PTSD and my parents are horrible at deescalating. I remember being backed into the corner more than a few times growing up. As a nanny I always tried to be sensitive to the needs of each child. I watched autistic children, children with anxiety, and children dealing with trans issues and each required their own level of delicacy and finesse. Ultimately it’s about understanding the unique needs of each child and responding to them in kind. It also takes a lot of empathy, and if you don’t have that you have nothing.
Personally, I think they are meltdowns. I have autism and he is very similar to how I was as a kid. How they treated him was literally the complete opposite of what a parent is supposed to do when their child has a meltdown.
I HATE THEM. Cystic Fibrosis is torture anyway. To have a mother and a rando beat you on top of that????? Dr Phil always threatens to call CPS but never actually does it. This poor baby's whole life is pain.
@@gavenmcdougall8871 I hope you and your brother are safe. I'm sorry he hurt you, I hope you understand he does love you and he's just struggling. Keep your head up and remember success is the best revenge.
@@corvettedm1 literally she should check if he has any type of disorder like my little brother is autistic and has his breakdowns a lot but we have never spanked him. The child seems like he might have bipolar disorder they should really get him checked he seems like he wants attention. Spanking doesn’t help and I know because I went through it , parents think spank your child it helps with discipline but doesn’t it actually gave me the idea to become more rebellious and show them I was just as powerful.
And the mom also seriously called the child “ retarded “ like how could she do that? Also cussing the child out. The mom and her boyfriend are bullies thats just it.
@@hiemily7603 I agree. This little boy doesn’t look like he’s misbehaving because he’s a bad kid. He’s crying out and needs a doctor, a neurologist , not a spanking 😢 I can’t believe they think spankings will help the situation. Omg they just said he has cystic fibrosis. Children with chronic illness need special parents. I hope these two are willing to learn how to be what he needs instead of trying to punish a kid into being what they think is ideal.
That poor child! I hope his parents (and mom’s boyfriend) get the parenting help that they need because what they are doing now is abusive. I have a 7 year old boy with Autism and I understand how difficult it is to deal with a child’s meltdown. Yelling, hitting or screaming adds more fuel to the fire, making a meltdown more intense. I calm my son by sitting on the floor with him, I wrap my arms around him and we rock together. I’ve done this with him since he was a toddler and it works amazingly. I can’t even imagine if I stood over him, bullied and yelled insults at him. Parenting with love is so important for a child’s emotional well being.
How precious. He's lived with those kids for eight months and now he has a "parenting instinct". I've been a parent for 13+ years and sometimes I literally have no idea what to do still 😂
Lololol.... my kids did not come with instructions. I never hit or spanked my son's. I took the time to talk to them. Conversation goes a long way parents!
@@mydogsioux I'd beat the b.f. for even thinking it's ok to touch my boy. I'd be getting that son out of the hands of two undeserving of any child home asap if I were his father. I'm not but wish I was for a bit just so I could get this boy far away from the sickos..
He spoiled point blank period if he can’t have what he wants typical 7 year old but they don’t act like that not nearly none of the kids I know act like that everyday
Don't do that. That's being a friend to your child. You can't be a friend to your child because they will do things that are considered criminal activity.
@@curtisallred7250 it's a 7 year old child bro. You should definitely teach your kids that they can't just have whatever they want because they want it, but at the same time you shouldn't scream at your child and threaten them with violence when they're having a breakdown.
and the mass murder video games arent helping! hey i have an idea play a board game with your child do some craft projects go for a bike ride or a walk anything loving to show him you do actually care about him. they are literally treating him like they hate him. i thought those mass murder video games are for adults only, 7 year old children should not be allowed use of those vile games. i played pong and packman. these parents worried about their own selfish desires!
@@raedonn Exactly, the boy probably has autism, and keeping them in front of the screen playing violent video games and not paying attention to him is heartbreaking. The father seems to do a better job with him, you can't ask much from autistic children they develop at a different pace and you need a lot of patience with them, the mom makes things worse she doesn't understand anything about Autism and doesn't bother to do her research. The mother seems aweful.
I think the parents need parenting classes because whatever their doing clearly isn’t working. The poor child could be autistic and not able to express his feeling.
@@aliciat2216 Not everyone meant to be a parent, not everyone is naturally equipped with the level of empathy and intelligence to raise a child due to their own mental issues.
I’m scared for the kid. He most likely feels like he can’t do anything right. With personal experience feeling like that- Just.. so many things could develop in the child mentally
Yes.. i have 2 autism brother beside me right now.. and i feel so sad 😥 they bite me and scratch me alot.. and hugging them usually makes it alot better.. being angry just make things worst
My parents used to treat me like this, I have autism and trust me disciplining like this only makes it worse. It wasn't until my mom learned to be calm and leave me alone when I started to melt down that I learned on my own to calm myself down.
So true! That’s what I learned to do with my daughter. Now when she’s upset I walk her to her room and tell her to sit down and just breath then she comes out of her room when she’s calmed down.
My son is autistic and if he's frustrated, even cuddling him will make him worse as he just wants to be left alone. Talking to him while in a meltdown will make it worse. I couldn't ever imagine hitting him!!! Grinds my gears.
@@Booksnsourdough and further more the fact that the parents aren’t able to regulate their own emotions and put the wellbeing of their child before their emotional response shows a total lack of emotional maturity. They act like how a child would act in that situation when anyone with the maturity level of an adult would know to calm down and act rationally and calmly.
This makes me so angry. No wonder the child has so many issues if he's being called r*****ed and taunted. This just makes me so mad. Asking "who's the adult" and bullying her own child!
@Owen Edwards I'm sorry you've had to deal with that. Being autistic is nothing to be ashamed of and people who treat it as otherwise are just ignorant
*cough cough verbal abuse cough cough* Not to mention that she pops off at him all the time and has no patience or empathy. It makes me so pissed off and frustrated to notice that people are still acting the way she did.
Faren should he been charged for a hate crime as the "R" word is considered hateful towards persons with developmental disabilities, including Michael. She would have been charged and ridiculed for sure in Canada where the "R" word is considered a hate crime.
Yes my immediate thought when I first saw his behaviour. I spent two years working in the autism field, including drafting legislation, and through that experience learnt so much from parents and those with condition. Autism is a spectrum and this child seems to have many of the indicative traits. The parents are awful, no love or empathy, just ignorant bullying!
As a mother, this is heart breaking. The verbal abuse, the mental abuse, the physical abuse. This boy wants his mommy and she is pushing him to anger. Her boyfriend is playing a role that is leading him to be abusive, which is sickening. I pray this baby finds love and happiness ❤️
Mom with 2 kids by 3 dads. I'm so shocked the kid is having issues. 🙄 They hit the child, then tell him not to hit. The kid is just reflecting the crappy "parenting" that he has received.
14:18 as a gamer myself I can 1000% confirm that some of these problems are caused by these games. They should've never allowed him to play these he's, especially at such a young age
Granma says she's afraid by the time he reaches puberty? Yeah is he doesn't kill himself by then. It just floored me when Michael expressed that he hated himself. He's saying that at the age of 7. That poor kid. God knows what the parents do to him when the camera is off
It is called intellectually disabled in the D S M V. The termed retardation was change because it has come to mean stupid and people have fought to have it changed. So his mother is calling him stupid. She is being a bully and not a parent.
They’re trying to make this poor boy out to be a monster. When you’re that upset, it’s not as simple as sit down and shut up. That’s infuriating. Those children need empathy, patience and understanding. They threaten and hit this kid constantly... no wonder he thinks hitting is okay. Sounds like he’s abused by his mother and her boyfriend more than he’s loved.
I hope he’s OK. When I was his age I was going through the same kind of thing and had meltdowns every day and my mother dealt with it by making fun of me and making things worse. It has really affected my life but I did get past it and I did move on.
They’re provoking and taunting him the whole time and almost borderline making fun of him… her and the genius boyfriend are ruining that kid, great parenting lady. You shouldn’t be having children.
They're despicable and cruel. The poor child is so distressed and acting out as a result. If they abuse him in front of the cameras, imagine what they do behind closed doors.
I can see that and i agree. I hate how they treat the little boy but what i also can see is that they really don’t know better. They really have to learn parenting. That being said i miss their empathy and love for the child. I dare to say that if you love your child and feel for your child it wouldn‘t come to this😥
@@ohmanyourecool1 they clearly dont feel comfortable saying who and it was obvious that they dont want to say who so why even comment for them to tell you (I say you because you're the only one who wants to know) Even if they told you, what would it do for you besides trigger them and bring on a flood of painful and sad emotions. That was rude of you nosy Nancy.
God, that poor wee boy. She's fighting him when he's not being antagonistic -- he can't control his frustration and big emotions and all she sees is an animal. The boyfriend certainly has no place in this parenting equation. He's a child himself playing at being a big man.
Michael is bored. He's literally cornered in a gross, stuffy house and being raised by people who don't communicate with him on a level and with empathy. He should be adopted and should be an only child so he can't take this out on other kids at home.
Some decent and intense family therapy could help. Personally The maladaptive behavioral crisis intervention is excellent. Every member of the household is taught coping skills, and to identify their own negative behavior, then make a plan to cease the negative behavior, and replace it with positive behavior modifications.
The boyfriend isn't his biological father so he shouldn't be putting his hands on him, that's not his job. Abusing a child doesn't change their behavior, it worsens them and builds up more anger. I feel so sorry for this child, it doesn't seem like he gets love and affection. I have a friend who's child was like this when with her and her boyfriend but everytime he was with me he was soo happy! I did fun things with him like parents should do. It makes me want to cry just thinking about it.
You do realize the kid has ODD right? What are you gonna do when the kid becomes hostile towards you because that's part of the disorder? Just have fun as they attack you? Sounds fun.... Children with ODD are uncooperative, defiant, and hostile toward peers, parents, teachers, and other authority figures. They are more troubling to others than they are to themselves. You won't get any trouble when you're doing what they want, but that disorder is not to be underestimated. Them killing pets, even siblings can happen.
I had a friend like this as well.. I was a safe space for her child. When I brought up some of my concerns I was blocked. I now worry about that little girl everyday. I know she’s struggling and no one will help her. Her own mother chooses random men over her constantly…
I did. If she's the adult, why is she acting like a child? I've experienced it with teachers in elementary who didn't know how to deal with special needs kids and it just has left me with Psychological trauma. If she does it to the kid more, he'll have Psychological Trauma, or at the least *a strong Distrust and Hatred knowing he was abused when he was at his worst*
The boyfriend blaming ODD is DISGUSTING. I’ve had ODD my WHOLE life and and my parents had to learn to cope. They didn’t blame my behavior on my disorder. So disturbing. The bf gotta go
Yeah I try to talk to my mom but she just yell more when I ask to have a moment to calm down , we both as we both have odd that all it does is hurt us more , there are moments where my head feels like it going too explode
Well, first of all, it's not even clear if that's ODD, he could be autistic, and having an abusive mother is the worst for children with Autism. He is definitely special needs and has to have proper care and be sheltered from these abusive pieces of lard.
The way this "mother" tortures her child is ridiculous. Instead of deescilating the situation, she taunts him. Then, she wants to hit him for reacting to her disrespect and belittling him. Edit to add: The father needs to get emergency full custody yesterday.
@@terrifier-7 I had that parent too and I can still say that this kid is being tortured by his mother and her boyfriend. My mother tortured me both physically and emotionally and what I remember most, and what shapes me most, is the emotional abuse.
This is breaking my heart. She doesn’t give any love to her son. I understand she is at the end of her rope and I’m glad that she is asking for help, but she needs severe therapy and education on how to help and love this poor boy.
Dr Phil doesn't actually call them and he should. Who knows what abuse this kid lives with. Hopefully they track them down from the show. Tohear him say he hates himself? Heartbreaking. Mom is immature and nasty.
Funny thing is, my first memory EVER was when I was 2 and my moms boyfriend spanked me with a belt because I was crying for my Mom. I’m almost forty now, but I remember this from when I was only 2. It’s so sad that this is my first memory ever. Kids do remember these things for sure.
I highly doubt she’d ever be motivated to go for a walk. I mean seriously, I’m not tagging on her being obese, she’s just literally lazy about everything she does
Flanders beatnik parents on the Simpsons: you gotta help us doc! we've tried NOTHIN and we're ALL out of ideas! Flanders was an out of control angry kid too!
They’re bullying him for sure- this little kid is definitely doing this for a reason. He probably just can’t verbalize what he’s feeling and having “parents” that intentionally antagonize him and call him names doesn’t make it any easier also he’s got Cystic Fibrosis and he is screaming like that? you can tell that whatever his family is doing to him is upsetting because it takes a lot of air to scream the way he does
They are literally goading that little boy! My youngest daughter is lovely but when she loses her temper she blows up … but then I respect who she is and leave her to calm down and she then comes and apologises a few minutes later! We are all different and it’s understanding who your children are and in situations where children throw tantrums it’s f best to leave them to it and then when they’ve calmed down .. explain to them quietly and calmly .. because you’re the parent! This woman is a horrible mum. I hope she gets some help to improve her skills because she seems more interested in her love life!
The boyfriend has issues. You can tell he likes to belittle the little boy while getting all of the moms praise. And notice * they were holding hands in the beginning and not at the end LOL He’s so mad he got told by dr. Phil
This is like looking into a mirror with how I was raised. My mom, when she married my stepdad, used me as an outlet for her unhappiness and mental illness. I have bad ADHD and I never understood why she was so mad and violent and harsh. Shed drive me into a panic attack then take a video of it. My heart goes out to you kid. Also, anyone else think the boyfriend's mouth is weird when he talks???
I can't believe not a single person commented on what you said in 9 months! I think it was because you worded it weird and you used month instead of mom. Lol, other wise you probably would of had a lot of comments 🤣
I cannot deal with parents like this. Goading him, highlighting his bad behaviour, no praise, aggression, physical discipline. Seriously, how could they not see it's them who are creating the monster?!
@@hippyable anyone can have children but unfortunately not everyone deserves to have them and mother them, and she is one of these, she's a cold woman who is not meant to be a mother
@jennifer I agree! Her saying he looked retarded was her embarrassment showing through. That embarrassment turns into toxic abuse and bullying in the name of discipline.
From the start, i knew from the get-go when she said that they're not accountable as to why THEIR child is acting like this, that there's major problems within the household. I can't fathom how disgusted and furious i feel about the parents, and sad for the child to have experienced all this. Hope he gets the help he very much deserves, and especially find someone that can SHOW him the very much deserved love and affection that failed to give.
Sadly, I don't see the boyfriend moving out. That chick is one of those "I need a man in my life" persons who will always put the man before the children.
Bingo!! She's despicable and her son is paying the price.
I hope CPS comes knocking on their door pronto!
I will never understand a single parent moving a boy/girlfriend into the home with their child within months of starting a relationship. It's just not a wise choice.
pathetic huh I agree with ya on this one.
Fr. Ugh, it's so disgusting and just utterly selfish. They really thought that letting practically a *stranger,* this unknown *big man* come in as a authoritarian "parent" would be ok??? Letting him move in at all!? They're literally *bullies.* Both verbally and physically abusive. They demand all too much from him. This little boy is rightfully scared af. Who wouldn't be? They also don't allow him to express himself. He have no safety. He's losing more and more love and affection, (emotional) space, his place in the home, he's losing everything while getting abused because he's scared. HOW can anyone be this selfish. What a terrible mother and arrogant "step-father". They're all letting him down. They don't care about him. He's become a burden to them, and he feels the same. He's internalizing the abuse, leaving him feeling like nothing. No self esteem, just self hatred.
There's no wonder why he acts like he does. I mean, who wouldn't?
Yep. I just walk away from people like this. If you try to help they turn on you and drag you down. And you can’t warn them of the train you see headed for them because they know it all. All you can do is call someone to help the kids and let these people burn themselves up.

Get HER under arrest.

literally.
That didn't happen
She threatens to give him up for adoption!? Woman, this child is 7. You’re the one who brought him into this? He ain’t ask to be your child.

I’m not trying to come off as rude (sorry if it sounds that way), but I have seen firsthand being in a group home myself for half of my teenage years- the abuse. Also, my twin sister went to foster care, we were getting in trouble prior to this (smoking pot, cutting class) and my parents gave us up. That is something we are working on now (building back trust, and relationships)... or should I say I? My sister my twin sister is now dead (March 3rd), and she endured nothing but heartbreak as a child, and as a teenager, an adult- no support, no help. No preparedness for the harsh world she re-entered with nothing. The statistics are jarring, and the sad part is the statistics aren’t even correct, because there are so many that are not reported. 😓

@@tiffanyozturk3498 seriously. I remember being a kid, thinking that bc my mother resented me for being born with a heart defect that requires multiple surgeries.

I totally agree Her son knows he doesn’t like how his mom is trying to discipline him and wants to please his parents and “be better.” A child shouldn’t have to endure sorting all of his emotions out while getting absolutely shamed for it and directed with yelling.

Please send cps over there, Phil. Nothing is going to change. This child has no advocate.
They want that miss... they came in to get the justification to “take out their trash”
@Imari Brown I agree. But that's not what's happening here. She's immature, lazy and vindictive, the boyfriend is a moronic neanderthal. The father is also immature and lazy, but at least he shows genuine compassion for the child. Most people love the idea of being a parent, but a large percentage don't understand how much work it takes to raise healthy adults. They don't understand the vast amount of emotional labor that raising children requires. And because the cycle is so easily repeated, you have generational dysfunction that can result in a near continuous loop. As a society we need to educate people to these realities. We also need to normalize being childfree. Not everyone is equipped to raise children.

Not necessarily. My daughter wanted to go to her dad's because he never made her do anything. He didn't make her go to school, do chores, clean up her mess, nothing. At my house, you must go to school, at the VERY least. Period.
“Who is the adult? Who is the adult huh? Who is the parent??”
Good question, lady
Right I was asking myself the same thing.
It'll end up being one of her kids. That's who the parent is or will be. Cause it's sure not any or the adults.
No. Neither. Dr. Phil is right... authoritarian parenting is wrong. Authoritative is the way to go. JUST like the grown-ups on Full House.
She’s a Momzilla. This is difficult to watch. She’s an abusive parent and she doesn’t know it. That’s the scary part.
Oh, she knows.
It's amazing that she filmed herself acting like this and can't see her faults
Lol u said momzilla
And this was FOR THE CAMERAS!! Imagine what happens behind closed doors 😲
They are 100% instigating him... when he's having a full meltdown, not even a violent one just crying and anxiety attack, the mom shoves the camera in his face and tells him that nobody wants him. The boyfriend towers over him starting problems when he was relatively calm, and saying "he's doing that to get himself mad so he can be bad" what??. They started that one 100% on them. This poor child is living in chaos and constant yelling and crying and loud nose and everyone in his face.... that's so sad. I've never seen a child
That 24-year old dude boyfriend is a joke, and the mother is even more pathetic to move him in.
They are bullying a special needs child. Where are they finding ppl this stupid to show the world what horrible parenting looks like

@@easymoneyrad well it's not a 7 year old fault that his mother and the mother boyfriend can't treat him right so yeah I do blame the parents.
You can see how he’s emotionally struggling especially with him hurting him self and saying he hates himself🥺 all he wants is a little reassurance
He’s only 7 he might not even know why he’s so angry. That’s why tantrums happen. When you can’t express feelings they come out physically in the form of crying, screaming, hitting. He’s just trying to let his emotions out. My heart is crying for this child.
Same here. They don't give him a chance to voice what he's feeling. Shoot, the mother is awful and I'll bet she never taught him how to express himself. My babies know how to voice their feelings....and if they don't know how they feel at that moment, we work it out together to find out what's bothering them. Sad to see this stone age parenting 😔

@@tesstickle6462 i aggre

I hate to call a parent literally terrible, but the maturity of this mother is on the level of the kid. And they boyfriend shouldn’t even be parenting. He’s been there 8 whole months. She’s a flake and honestly, he would be better off with another family.
Sadly the mom should have set limits on how the boyfriend could interact with her kiddos.
@@themeg5199 Another mother choosing a man over her child.
hearing that child say he hates himself... it’s heart breaking.

My heart hurts from hearing him say that. A 7 year old shouldn't hate themselves or know what that feels like 💔
He's harming himself. That is what he feels.
Omgosh I know right! That was so sad 😔
19:08 is very dangerous behaviour on the mother's behalf. She is essentially saying that you can't disagree with an adult. Which is wrong, this is how dangerous situations happen where the child feels like they can't say no.
Also, yelling "who's the adult" feels like the mother is on a weird power trip. That poor boy, I hope his father gets full custody and the mother learns to be a better parent.
She should have just walked away instead of bullying him. She totally escalated the situation. It's okay to take away video games. But to sit there and make that child feel powerless is wrong. Acknowledge that you can see he is upset, and that you will give him time and space to calm down, then walk away.
I love how they keep bringing up that he has medical and mental health issues yet they aren't being sensitive to those issues AT ALL! They just like poor us he has all these issues that make OUR lives so hard

When he said he hated himself was such a clear indicator of the emotional abuse he is dealing with from his parents. That's 100% a learned thought process bc his family probably doesnt show him how to love himself because they cant even show him love and compassion. Poor kid
He hates himself because he feels like his parents hate him, and that it must have been something he did to *make* them hate him, like he's done it to himself, and now he blames himself for the way his parents are 🥺😭 some people should not be allowed to have children 😭
Four words: DEMONIC POSESSION!!!111
I don’t think his parents are all bad he’s obviously doing some HORRIBLE things too especially towards his brother. Sometimes it’s both of them this kid has issues like he hasn’t been disciplined till this age. I had HORRIBLE parents but I wasn’t a huge annoying brat like this kid.

@@yerfeelings6667 I AGREE TOTALLY!!
People tend to lack empathy and compassion for children.
thank my fellow black brother
I’m a nanny and one of the kids I watch is a boy about his age that gets himself worked up easily over minor things. Instead of yelling at him to stop, I just sit down next to him and rub his back. I calmly and WARMLY instruct him to breathe. I reinforce that everything will be okay. I help regulate his emotions when he isn’t able to do it himself. Once he calms down, I give him a hug and he gets up and plays.
*THAT’S* how you handle an emotional child! You don’t antagonize or insult them! You don’t intimidate them!
I’m not saying don’t punish him if he does something wrong; just make sure he knows that you’re on his side and that you want the best for him. I’m just so upset watching this!
*Edit* Okay, please stop “diagnosing” the boy I watch. I have my degree in psychology and see absolutely nothing warranting professional help. He is a happy, healthy little boy who occasionally overreacts to things that upset him. Not every crying spell in a CHILD means that there is something more insidious lying in wait!
As someone who’s watched others kids for 15 years I 100% agree with you. The only other solution is to ignore till they calm down you don’t antagonize them.
tried doing that for a kid at the preschool and he turned around and bit us 🤣
@@pinkpugginz Yeah, that technique is not going to work on a toddler having a meltdown. Lol.

THANK YOU!! I have horrible anxiety and PTSD and my parents are horrible at deescalating. I remember being backed into the corner more than a few times growing up. As a nanny I always tried to be sensitive to the needs of each child. I watched autistic children, children with anxiety, and children dealing with trans issues and each required their own level of delicacy and finesse. Ultimately it’s about understanding the unique needs of each child and responding to them in kind. It also takes a lot of empathy, and if you don’t have that you have nothing.
First of all...NO MAN WILL EVER LAY A HAND ON MY CHILD NOR THREATEN THEM, LIKE THIS MAN DID

@@hiemily7603 I agree completely. Spanking only teaches children to hit people. My son is autistic but his behavior was perfect. The younger one OMG!

Unfortunately this is the abusers mind. They live in their sick reality and hurt their children.

RIGHT? LIKE THEY SEE NOTHING WRONG? This poor kid…
That poor child! I hope his parents (and mom’s boyfriend) get the parenting help that they need because what they are doing now is abusive. I have a 7 year old boy with Autism and I understand how difficult it is to deal with a child’s meltdown. Yelling, hitting or screaming adds more fuel to the fire, making a meltdown more intense. I calm my son by sitting on the floor with him, I wrap my arms around him and we rock together. I’ve done this with him since he was a toddler and it works amazingly. I can’t even imagine if I stood over him, bullied and yelled insults at him. Parenting with love is so important for a child’s emotional well being.
How precious. He's lived with those kids for eight months and now he has a "parenting instinct". I've been a parent for 13+ years and sometimes I literally have no idea what to do still 😂

So true! That’s what I learned to do with my daughter. Now when she’s upset I walk her to her room and tell her to sit down and just breath then she comes out of her room when she’s calmed down.
My son is autistic and if he's frustrated, even cuddling him will make him worse as he just wants to be left alone. Talking to him while in a meltdown will make it worse. I couldn't ever imagine hitting him!!! Grinds my gears.
Sounds like the child struggles with transitions.
@@Booksnsourdough and further more the fact that the parents aren’t able to regulate their own emotions and put the wellbeing of their child before their emotional response shows a total lack of emotional maturity.

Mom with 2 kids by 3 dads. I'm so shocked the kid is having issues. 🙄 They hit the child, then tell him not to hit. The kid is just reflecting the crappy "parenting" that he has received.
The BOBO doll experiment in full effect.
Girl I completely agree but check your math
@@beholdthegriffin5488 😂
2 kids by 3 dads? Ok
@@duplicarus Refer back to above comment. 🙄
I am literally in tears. This poor baby. This mother is a BULLY. A BULLY.
She’s using language she shouldn’t use around someone that age.
She called him a retard. On camera. Imagine what she says off camera?!!!
Not just a bully, an abuser.
I can not believe if Dr Phil do not contact children services.
@@sashaburton9042 Exactky
14:18 as a gamer myself I can 1000% confirm that some of these problems are caused by these games. They should've never allowed him to play these he's, especially at such a young age
Granma says she's afraid by the time he reaches puberty? Yeah is he doesn't kill himself by then. It just floored me when Michael expressed that he hated himself. He's saying that at the age of 7. That poor kid. God knows what the parents do to him when the camera is off
hasnt even hit double digits and is already self harming :(
Sadly cystic fibrosis sufferers do not live long lives without transplants. And they’re making this boys life utterly miserable. It’s abuse.
Or some MAJOR change at 13.
Something is very wrong how did this go untreated.. she literally called him r*tarded
If she said something like the situation being retarded, that wouldn’t be bad, but the way she meant “retarded” is bad.
@@kadenwild558 um no im pretty sure that using a slur towards your child & their behaviour is bad regardless.
It is called intellectually disabled in the D S M V. The termed retardation was change because it has come to mean stupid and people have fought to have it changed. So his mother is calling him stupid. She is being a bully and not a parent.
She said he acting didn't say he was but still very wrong
They’re trying to make this poor boy out to be a monster. When you’re that upset, it’s not as simple as sit down and shut up. That’s infuriating. Those children need empathy, patience and understanding. They threaten and hit this kid constantly... no wonder he thinks hitting is okay. Sounds like he’s abused by his mother and her boyfriend more than he’s loved.
Mom and her boyfriend are just plain nasty to that little boy. Tell me they don’t like the child without telling me they don’t like the child.
This boyfriend thinks he knows everything🥴
He does, it’s sickening. He was 12 years old when she started having kids, he knows nothing.
Nothing is easier than parenting a child you can take back to the "owner".
Came here to say that
The more I watch this video the more this comment makes sense
@@melanatedqueen I’m sorry if you’re familiar with this feeling... 😔
"We JuSt DoNt KnOw WhY He AcTs LiKe ThAt"
*literally bullies and threatens him every day of his life*
I just want to hug that little boy, he seems like he is in a lot of pain.
I hope he’s OK. When I was his age I was going through the same kind of thing and had meltdowns every day and my mother dealt with it by making fun of me and making things worse. It has really affected my life but I did get past it and I did move on.
He really IS in a lot of pain, I felt absolutely horrible for him the entire episode, I pray he gets the help he needs 😓🙏
Yep. And the mom needs to be put on a diet so she can lose some of that lard she still has! Maybe she’ll be a better mother once she loses some lard
He literally threw a fit cause he couldn't play video games they are not treating him bad he is a brat
I bet he’s a sweetheart at school too
They’re provoking and taunting him the whole time and almost borderline making fun of him… her and the genius boyfriend are ruining that kid, great parenting lady. You shouldn’t be having children.
They are abusing him and should be reported to CPS for this.
They're despicable and cruel. The poor child is so distressed and acting out as a result. If they abuse him in front of the cameras, imagine what they do behind closed doors.
Right!
He abuses the animals…Probably because his parents abuse him…so sad.
I can see that and i agree. I hate how they treat the little boy but what i also can see is that they really don’t know better. They really have to learn parenting. That being said i miss their empathy and love for the child. I dare to say that if you love your child and feel for your child it wouldn‘t come to this😥
The biological father needs to get full custody of the kid! I don't trust the bf and the mom!
Actually feel bad for the kid, they hit him a lot from what I’ve seen.
The dude is abusi**
When he said he hates himself....and she hates him, I cried. How can anybody hear their child say that and keep yelling?
@Snake
Tell us
right???? and this is only what she CHOSE to show us. imagine what happens behind closed doors
@@ohmanyourecool1 they clearly dont feel comfortable saying who and it was obvious that they dont want to say who so why even comment for them to tell you (I say you because you're the only one who wants to know) Even if they told you, what would it do for you besides trigger them and bring on a flood of painful and sad emotions. That was rude of you nosy Nancy.
God, that poor wee boy. She's fighting him when he's not being antagonistic -- he can't control his frustration and big emotions and all she sees is an animal. The boyfriend certainly has no place in this parenting equation. He's a child himself playing at being a big man.
Yes, thank you. That's how I felt about the boyfriend too.
With me having disabilities, when that mom called him “r****ded” I lost all respect for her
It's really heartbreaking to hear a seven year old child say that he hates himself
Even anyone, no matter how old they are.
Michael is bored. He's literally cornered in a gross, stuffy house and being raised by people who don't communicate with him on a level and with empathy. He should be adopted and should be an only child so he can't take this out on other kids at home.
Some decent and intense family therapy could help. Personally The maladaptive behavioral crisis intervention is excellent. Every member of the household is taught coping skills, and to identify their own negative behavior, then make a plan to cease the negative behavior, and replace it with positive behavior modifications.
He doesn't have to be an only child, he needs therapy, and a safe place to live. But that'll take time, a lot of time.
He shouldn't be an only child but resolve the problems in the dysfunctional home!
And less gadget time. That is one of the contributing factors.
These children are more traumatized by adoption/foster care
The boyfriend isn't his biological father so he shouldn't be putting his hands on him, that's not his job. Abusing a child doesn't change their behavior, it worsens them and builds up more anger. I feel so sorry for this child, it doesn't seem like he gets love and affection. I have a friend who's child was like this when with her and her boyfriend but everytime he was with me he was soo happy! I did fun things with him like parents should do. It makes me want to cry just thinking about it.
You do realize the kid has ODD right? What are you gonna do when the kid becomes hostile towards you because that's part of the disorder? Just have fun as they attack you? Sounds fun....
Children with ODD are uncooperative, defiant, and hostile toward peers, parents, teachers, and other authority figures. They are more troubling to others than they are to themselves.
You won't get any trouble when you're doing what they want, but that disorder is not to be underestimated. Them killing pets, even siblings can happen.
Biological parent or not, you shouldn't be violent with a
child.
I had a friend like this as well.. I was a safe space for her child. When I brought up some of my concerns I was blocked. I now worry about that little girl everyday. I know she’s struggling and no one will help her. Her own mother chooses random men over her constantly…
The mom allows it and gives up her own responsibility. No lie though, I can’t stand kids screaming.
7 year olds should not be playing violent video games. Come on parents, PARENT.
Is this satire, like, actually?
I played violent video games since I was 7 and I'm good! How about "Autistic kids" should not play violent video games!
When she says “Who’s Adult” does anyone else cringe?
Just a power trip for this woman. Then pushes him anyway
Seriously sounds like she’s saying “Who’s a dolt?”
It’s like The Trunchbull & Mr Wormwood from Matilda all over again
*im BIG youre SMALL*
I was waiting for Dr. Phil to say "well it's clearly not you"
I did. If she's the adult, why is she acting like a child? I've experienced it with teachers in elementary who didn't know how to deal with special needs kids and it just has left me with Psychological trauma. If she does it to the kid more, he'll have Psychological Trauma, or at the least *a strong Distrust and Hatred knowing he was abused when he was at his worst*
The boyfriend blaming ODD is DISGUSTING. I’ve had ODD my WHOLE life and and my parents had to learn to cope. They didn’t blame my behavior on my disorder. So disturbing. The bf gotta go
Honestly it boils my blood
Yeah I try to talk to my mom but she just yell more when I ask to have a moment to calm down , we both as we both have odd that all it does is hurt us more , there are moments where my head feels like it going too explode
Hello 👋👍
@@Unc222 Hang in there. It gets better!
Well, first of all, it's not even clear if that's ODD, he could be autistic, and having an abusive mother is the worst for children with Autism. He is definitely special needs and has to have proper care and be sheltered from these abusive pieces of lard.
My mom used to parent me like this when I was little and I had tantrums exactly like this. Toxic environments damage kids more then people think
Same
Exactly the same 😞
I can confirm this
I can confirm this
I did too. I had to take a break in the video cause I was close to having a panic attack. I remember how confusing and painful that was.
The mom should be more concerned over the fact her own child is hurting themselves over the fact her sofa is being damaged smh
The way this "mother" tortures her child is ridiculous. Instead of deescilating the situation, she taunts him. Then, she wants to hit him for reacting to her disrespect and belittling him.
Edit to add: The father needs to get emergency full custody yesterday.
I've noticed boys typically behave better with their fathers anyway.
@@justthatgirl-ct4jo I noticed when the mom said she didn't like hitting him because it made her feel bad she smirked!!!!! OMG
@@raizinboyz Yea, this chick was pretty awful!
that aint torture try having your mother point a knife to your thraot saying shed kill you n cussing you non stop
@@terrifier-7 I had that parent too and I can still say that this kid is being tortured by his mother and her boyfriend. My mother tortured me both physically and emotionally and what I remember most, and what shapes me most, is the emotional abuse.
This is breaking my heart. She doesn’t give any love to her son. I understand she is at the end of her rope and I’m glad that she is asking for help, but she needs severe therapy and education on how to help and love this poor boy.
Yeah and the fact that she said he looks like the r slur.... terrible mother.
She reminds me of Bowser from SuperMarioLogan.
Exactly. He needs love and connection. This poor child is being tormented.
She gives more attention to this boyfriend than her own children.
The only thing she's wanting help with is to get her little boy to stop behaving the way he is. She doesn't think she's in the wrong at all.
That Mom does not like her child. This is so sad to see, I hope cps gets in there fast
Dr Phil doesn't actually call them and he should. Who knows what abuse this kid lives with.
Hopefully they track them down from the show.
Tohear him say he hates himself? Heartbreaking. Mom is immature and nasty.
Lock her up. Lock her up.
The more I watch this mother's behavior the more upset I get! He is being punished, you don't add more punishment.
u dont know the real thing happenef
I hate this mother! 😡
I never understand why a mother lets a boyfriend physically discipline the children that aren't his ... the mom and the boyfriend are bullies
Because they are weak and spinless and will always choose men over their own children.
Funny thing is, my first memory EVER was when I was 2 and my moms boyfriend spanked me with a belt because I was crying for my Mom. I’m almost forty now, but I remember this from when I was only 2. It’s so sad that this is my first memory ever. Kids do remember these things for sure.
This poor child 😓 this upsets me, this lady doesn’t need any children, this dude she’s with is just as abusive too.
She really doesn’t.. she seems like she doesn’t care in a way
Why not talk with him 1 on 1 during a calm walk outside when he’s upset “we’ve tried everything”
Bc the calm will last 5 seconds and he’ll run away.
She probably sits or is supine the better part of the day.
I highly doubt she’d ever be motivated to go for a walk.
I mean seriously, I’m not tagging on her being obese, she’s just literally lazy about everything she does
Flanders beatnik parents on the Simpsons: you gotta help us doc! we've tried NOTHIN and we're ALL out of ideas!
Flanders was an out of control angry kid too!
“I wanna go to my Dad’s!” That made me tear up.
how?
They’re bullying him for sure- this little kid is definitely doing this for a reason. He probably just can’t verbalize what he’s feeling and having “parents” that intentionally antagonize him and call him names doesn’t make it any easier
also he’s got Cystic Fibrosis and he is screaming like that? you can tell that whatever his family is doing to him is upsetting because it takes a lot of air to scream the way he does
Calling names. Yes. That is the worst treatment that a child could have
They are literally goading that little boy! My youngest daughter is lovely but when she loses her temper she blows up … but then I respect who she is and leave her to calm down and she then comes and apologises a few minutes later! We are all different and it’s understanding who your children are and in situations where children throw tantrums it’s f best to leave them to it and then when they’ve calmed down .. explain to them quietly and calmly .. because you’re the parent! This woman is a horrible mum. I hope she gets some help to improve her skills because she seems more interested in her love life!
I thought he had Autism!
The boyfriend has issues. You can tell he likes to belittle the little boy while getting all of the moms praise.
And notice * they were holding hands in the beginning and not at the end LOL
He’s so mad he got told by dr. Phil
This is like looking into a mirror with how I was raised. My mom, when she married my stepdad, used me as an outlet for her unhappiness and mental illness. I have bad ADHD and I never understood why she was so mad and violent and harsh. Shed drive me into a panic attack then take a video of it. My heart goes out to you kid.
Also, anyone else think the boyfriend's mouth is weird when he talks???
I can't believe not a single person commented on what you said in 9 months! I think it was because you worded it weird and you used month instead of mom. Lol, other wise you probably would of had a lot of comments 🤣
so we have a " bully " parent and an "enabler " .. This child needs some parents ! SMH
I cannot deal with parents like this. Goading him, highlighting his bad behaviour, no praise, aggression, physical discipline. Seriously, how could they not see it's them who are creating the monster?!
LOL DR PHIL IS SO SAVAGE “you’re really gonna give me a tutorial on ODD”
dr phil isn't a fan of the mother's dopey boyfriend, i don't think he thinks much of the "mother" either
This woman really can't stand her child. She practically tortures him
She's not nice
@@hippyable anyone can have children but unfortunately not everyone deserves to have them and mother them, and she is one of these, she's a cold woman who is not meant to be a mother
@jennifer I agree! Her saying he looked retarded was her embarrassment showing through. That embarrassment turns into toxic abuse and bullying in the name of discipline.
She and her boyfriend both dint seem very intelligent
From the start, i knew from the get-go when she said that they're not accountable as to why THEIR child is acting like this, that there's major problems within the household. I can't fathom how disgusted and furious i feel about the parents, and sad for the child to have experienced all this. Hope he gets the help he very much deserves, and especially find someone that can SHOW him the very much deserved love and affection that failed to give.
