YouTube - SON SLAPS HIS MOTHER ON DR.PHIL 5-20-2008 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kn18H3FKDV4)

no.
just no.

[LiNuX]

wow...what a disrespectful little kid - i would have thrown him out the window or cut the supply to the twinkies - i'd never hit any of my parents no matter what they did to me, EVER

[KittyCat72]

That's one messed up kid... I would do exactly what Linux said... NO MORE TWINKIES FOR YOU!!!

[younging94]

I would of beat him with an inch of his fat little life and broke his arm and made me some turkey D=

[Nerdy Knight]

I really don't understand how kids can be this way to their own parents. That is ridiculous how a kid can say things so rudely to his mother, and then strike her for NO REASON. I would not allow a kid like that to stay in my house. I would send him off to foster care and send him carrot sticks for his birthday. :D

[Samus-Fan]

Hey, I saw this episode!

I don't watch Dr.Phil daily, I was just bored.

The story is that he had a sister that died of cancer. The mom is abusive to him and treats him very badly. She even admited that it is because she wanted the daughter to live and the son to die.

He slapped her because he wanted her to see what he was going through.

I don't agree with it, but I understand what he was TRYING to get across.
Some of the kids on that show are worse then this, lol.

Man in that situation, i would have freakin punched her.

[Blah Blah Blah]

:mad1:Man if I was his mother i would have sent him to military school or something

[LiNuX]

thats just wrong but what can you do, there are some dysfunctional families like this and the only person that can help them is Dr. Phil - or Jerry Springer

[Iceskater101]

this is really bad for a son to do to his mother. now yes he was trying to get his point across but still its abusive to the mother to slap her. and there are people who were worser than he was like who samus?

[Samus-Fan]

I dunno their names, they were on Dr.Phil and he would slap, kick, drop-kick, punch, and tackle his mom.

[Iceskater101]

oh sad! thats mean! I would never do any of that to my mom because my mom is like my bff :)

Wendy is a single mom who lost her daughter, Olivia, three years ago to brain cancer. Since that time, her 10-year-old son, Noah’s, behavior has spiraled out of control. He’s been in trouble at school countless times, including hitting the principal. Noah says Wendy doesn’t treat him with respect, and he’s called Child Protective Services, claiming that she abuses him. Wendy says she hasn’t stopped grieving for her daughter - Dr.Phil website

hans't actually been proven that the mother "abuses" him, but your right on the grievance thing (no idea if she wished he had died instead of her)
-------------------------
Still, this kid thinks he's an adult.
And he thinks that he should get the4 repsect an adult deserves.
Parent is wussing out on him too, making him think that his point is actually right
so 2 wrods. @ss wooping.

I wanna attend one of jerry's shows sometime. What could be funner? ;-)

[Kujo]

Ok... first, I would beat the ever living crap out of that kid for slapping his mother. THEN....


I'd slap the ever living crap out of the mother for saying the things she said to him!!

I was about to say that.
He didn't express himself right, but he did have points in there that were important.

Hitting his mom was definitely NOT the way to go, though.

[LemonRising]

PSHH
If my mom said she wished I died I would slap her!

They're obviously messed up anyways and need help.
He's probably a brat too, but the mom deserves it.

He's a kid, of course he's not gonna know how to deal with death. Kids act out in different ways, and if he's hitting and being angry, then that's his way.
I'm not saying it's right, but you get a kid like that HELP.

but mostly I just lol'd.
(:

[younging94]

And he thinks that he should get the respect an adult deserves.


I think everyone should get equal repsect.
If you respect an adult, dont be an ass to a child or a pre adult unless they are not giving respect.


If an adult doesn't respect me i dont see a reason why i should respect them back, i will try my hardest to give my respect, but if that keeps happening, screw it. Screw that whole "your a child" thing, we're all people.

[Kujo]

Respect is earned... not given.

For me, that goes for everybody! If my parents were douchebags to me... i wouldn't respect them. I don't think that you are "required" to respect anyone just because they have authority over you.

maybe its the way i was raised by my parents - i respect everyone first and then hope to earn their respect - i am not like one of those people that'll give you an attitude because i just met you for the first time and you have no respect from me lol -

but in this case, i guess the whole "raising" the kid this way is missing, just sad though

oh and people can lose my respect - like my old boss's boss when i used to work at the library, complete female dog

[Yuuki]

Wow. o__O
Yelling at your parents is one thing, but slapping/hurting then is another.
I agree, I'd send him to military school or something to straighten him up.

That's pretty bad but I'd of just told someone. I would never hit my Mum, but then when you're in that situation, you'll probably think differently.

[RaiDae]

Both mother and kid are complete and utter twats. In that sorta situation all the mother had to say was "i'm sorry for hurting you, that wasn't my intention. Now, can i please have an apology for elbowing me in the first place". And if the kid had continued to be a prick, then you ignore him or take away some of his luxuries or something. And if he hits you, dont hit back - just tell him you ain't feeding him untill he apologises. That's if the mother wasn't actually abusive. If she was, i can totaly sympathise with the kid.
To be honest, the mother is just as bad as the kid. She came across as very immature. But hey-ho, what can we do.

Also, about the whole respect thing - if your parents were abusive, i highly doubt you would have any shred of respect for them.
Respect is earned, not given. Meet everyone on equal ground and then see if they deserve respect. (well, that's how i do it anyways)
