Dr. Phil Show Season 13 Episode 37 A Bitter Custody Battle: Claims of Poison in Ice Cream, a Child Wrapped in a Garbage Bag and Inappropriate Touching: What Will the Polygraph Reveal?
- November 10, 2015
A bitter custody battle has led to a shocking series of accusations, including claims of poison being put into ice cream, a child being wrapped in a garbage bag, and allegations of inappropriate touching. On this episode of the Dr. Phil Show, the parties involved will submit to a polygraph test in an attempt to uncover the truth behind these troubling claims.
As the episode begins, viewers will meet the disputing parties, who are embroiled in a contentious custody battle over their young daughter. The couple has been separated for several years, and the father has been granted shared custody of the child. However, tensions have been running high, and accusations have been flying back and forth between the two ex-partners.
The mother alleges that the father has been physically abusive towards their daughter, and has even gone so far as to wrap her in a garbage bag as a form of punishment. She also claims that he has been giving the child poisoned ice cream, in an attempt to make her sick and thereby gain an advantage in the custody negotiations.
The father, in turn, accuses the mother of making false allegations in order to gain full custody of their daughter. He claims that she has been coaching the child to make up stories of abuse, and has even herself engaged in inappropriate touching of the little girl.
Unable to come to a resolution on their own, the pair has agreed to undergo a polygraph test on the Dr. Phil Show. The test will be administered by a licensed polygraph expert, who will ask each party a series of carefully crafted questions designed to uncover the truth behind their respective allegations.
Viewers will watch as the father and mother both take their turns on the polygraph. The tension in the air will be palpable as the machine whirrs and beeps, and the expert carefully interprets the results. Both parties will be given a chance to address the audience directly, and to plead their case to the judge and the viewers at home.
In the end, viewers will be left wondering whether the truth has truly been exposed, or whether the polygraph test has merely added fuel to an already raging fire. Regardless of the outcome, one thing is clear: this custody battle will have long-lasting implications for all parties involved.
