Dr. Phil

Not So Sweet 16 (17x23)

Air date: Oct 10, 2018

Theresa claims she has lost control of her 16-year-old daughter, Tessa, and fears that one day, Tessa will kill her. Theresa claims Tessa has set the house on fire, physically attacked her, and even launched a violent attack on her 67-year-old grandmother, Bonnie, repeatedly hitting her in the face and throwing rocks at her head. Theresa claims her home is a war zone, and the police are on speed dial, having been to the house over 100 times. Four months ago, Tessa left home, and her family says they haven’t seen her since. That was until Dr. Phil intervened and brought Tessa and her mother to L.A. Theresa’s sister, Tracey, says she believes much of her niece’s bad behavior falls on Theresa’s shoulders.
