Bully Teacher?/DNA Dilemma (12x169)

Exibido em:: Jul 16, 2014

Former kindergarten teacher Cynthia says her life was torn apart when a classroom lesson led to her being convicted of official oppression, a misdemeanor, and sentenced to two years’ probation and 30 days in jail. Prosecutors claimed Cynthia told her students to line up and strike a 6-year-old boy, to teach him “how it feels to be bullied.” Cynthia says the whole ordeal was a big misunderstanding, and now she’s falsely labeled as a “bully teacher” — and might never lead a classroom again. How does she describe what happened that day? Plus, hear from the mother of one of Cynthia’s former students. Is Cynthia getting a bad rap, or did she cross the line? Then, the family of an adopted 7-year-old boy says a woman is harassing them and exploiting the child on the Internet, claiming he is her grandson. Teri, the boy’s adoptive mother, says the woman might be stalking her family, and she worries the child might be in danger. How can they protect themselves? And, is there any validity to the woman’s claims? Dr. Phil sets the record straight with hard evidence: a maternity test, fingerprint test and DNA test. What will the results reveal?
