Season 18 · Episode 3 Social Media Meltdown: Parenting Gone Wild Sep 11, 2019 · 1h
Three moms say they were livestreaming, or posting videos, for what they thought was just their private audience of social media friends -- but they say their videos have now reached over 100 million views combined. Dr. Phil takes a closer look at the stories behind these viral videos to find out why the women's buttons were pushed. First, Karen, a mother of a now 17-year-old, says she went on her daughter's Snapchat after she found her daughter’s boyfriend hiding in her closet! Then, Cassandra, a young mother of two, says she began livestreaming on Facebook to vent after she was very upset after a conversation with police officers and her children’s school. Dr. Phil will also talk to a mother who posted a controversial video when she decided she had enough with her 2-year-old son's picky eating habits!
