Dr. Phil' hot sauce case

Woman convicted of child abuse in 'Dr. Phil' hot sauce case

Here is a more full article on the mother who abused her adopted son. According to the mom the Dr. Phil show, the producers wanted a video showing her punishing her son. Is she telling the truth? It also says she had contacted Dr. Phil a year and a half before.

I'll be interested to see what Dr. Phil has to say and better yet what documentation he will present. If parents contact his show there should be documentation that Dr. Phil gave some kind of referral information to moms and/or dads as to where to get help.

Copied from the above article:

"The show eventually called to find out if Beagley was still angry, she said. 

Beagley then submitted audition videos in which she yelled at the boy, but producers said they needed to see her actually punishing her son, the prosecutor said."
Then she had her ten year old daughter do the video taping.

Maybe the reality television has reached a tipping point. How many recent deaths have occurred because of reality television?

Did the prosecutor interview Dr. Phil?  Did he break a law?
