Amen on the MR!
Quote From: bellezI watched the show about Savanah and her mother being very frustrated with Savanah's eating disorder. But Dr. Phil what were you thinking when you called that child mentally retarded. I was appaled by your choice of words. Could you of said she was mentally challenged or mentally handicapped instead. Please be careful what you say on TV as there are millions watching. I could sense you were angry with the mother but you have to show compassion. I totally agree, all of us PWS moms cringed and cried when we heard that antiquated and demeaning term when referring OUR kids!
Thanks!
