Air date: May 10, 2016

Angie says her 19-year-old son was arrested for allegedly trying to run over an ex-girlfriend with his car. She says she is so afraid of his volatile behavior that she sleeps with a gun. Is there hope for this mother and son? Then, Lezley’s unarmed 18-year-old son, Michael Brown, was shot dead in the streets of Ferguson, MO by a police officer. She says her son was not a symbol; he was her baby boy, so she’s written a book, Tell The Truth & Shame The Devil; The Life, Legacy and Love of My Son Michael Brown, to tell his story. And, Angie shares her story of unwavering determination to find out what happened during her son’s final moments before he was shot and killed by a police officer. Plus, former guest Marian gives Dr. Phil an update on the police shooting of her unarmed son, Robbie, and her mission to take Robbie’s case to the Supreme Court.
