Dr. Phil

Badmouthing, Bruises and a Bitter Custody Battle: What Does the Neighbor Say? (14x41)

Air date: Nov 09, 2015

Linda's neighbor Sandra is in the middle of a bitter custody battle with her ex-husband, Joey, and Linda says she’s tired of watching their two daughters get caught in the middle — and she wrote into Dr. Phil for help! Sandra claims her daughters tell her concerning things after visiting with Joey. Sandra even says that she suspects that Joey may have "poisoned their ice cream," touched them inappropriately and even, according to Sandra, put one child in a garbage bag, filled it with rocks and left her in a bathtub with the water running, and Sandra claims she fears for their lives. Joey unequivocally denies Sandra’s accusations and is adamant that he’s been nothing but a good dad. Linda says Sandra is constantly telling her stories about Joey, and she’s still not sure who to believe. Tune in as Dr. Phil tries to get to the bottom of these accusations. Will polygraph tests help determine who’s telling the truth? This program contains strong sexual content. Viewer discretion advised.
