How far would you go to get attention? Meet stunt parents who lit their kids on fire for a reality show, and a woman who went to great lengths to get noticed by Oprah!
Dr. Phil introduces Suzette Valle, creator of the popular mommy blog MamarazziKnowsBest.com.
“Your kids are probably following your lead. That’s what parents do. We set the example,” Suzette tells Jim and Celia. “But I do believe it’s irresponsible parenting. Why would a parent put their child in harm’s way? It is a parent’s worst fear to see their children get hurt. Why do reality shows want families now? Because of the children. That is what causes us to panic. That’s what rips at our hearts. That’s why we’re riveted to our seats, just the danger factor of these innocent little kids.”
Dr. Phil turns to Jim. “You said something that I just thought was way out of whack. You said, ‘We’re doing this because we’ll bond closer together.’ Let me tell you, nothing about adding cameras to your daily life 24/7 enhances bonding. It doesn’t enhance the family dynamic,” he warns.
