The Steve Wilkos Show Season 11 Episode 6 Someone Bruised my baby 32 times

Someone Bruised My Baby 32 Times is the sixth episode of the eleventh season of The Steve Wilkos Show. The episode centers around a mother who is seeking answers regarding the abuse her six-month-old son suffered at the hands of his father. The mother claims that the father, who is her ex-boyfriend, inflicted 32 bruises on their infant son.

Steve Wilkos opens the episode by informing the audience that child abuse is a serious issue that he will not tolerate on his show. He promises to get to the bottom of what happened to the baby and hold the responsible parties accountable.

The mother, who is referred to as Elizabeth on the show, takes the stage and is visibly emotional. She begins by explaining the events leading up to the abuse. According to Elizabeth, she and her ex-boyfriend were in a rocky relationship. She suspected him of cheating and ended up breaking things off. After they broke up, he began acting erratically, showing up unannounced at their home and calling her incessantly. One day, after he had been particularly aggressive, he came to pick up their son for his court-ordered visitation. When he returned the baby, Elizabeth noticed that he had numerous bruises all over his body. She took the baby to the hospital, where doctors confirmed that the bruises were the result of physical abuse.

The father, who is referred to as John on the show, is brought onto the stage to give his side of the story. He vehemently denies any wrongdoing and insists that the bruises were the result of an accidental fall. He claims that the baby fell off the couch while he was sleeping and was injured as a result. John also accuses Elizabeth of being a neglectful mother, claiming that she left the baby unattended for long periods of time and did not provide adequate care.

Steve Wilkos is skeptical of John's story and presses him for more information. He points out that the bruises are consistent with intentional abuse rather than an accidental fall. John becomes defensive and evasive, refusing to answer Wilkos' questions directly.

As the episode progresses, Wilkos brings out witnesses who provide additional information about the situation. Elizabeth's sister testifies that she witnessed John being physically aggressive towards the baby in the past. The baby's pediatrician also appears on the show and confirms that the injuries are not consistent with an accidental fall. The doctor notes that the baby's injuries were the result of being struck multiple times with a blunt object.

Ultimately, John is unable to provide a credible explanation for the baby's injuries. He becomes increasingly agitated and confrontational, lashing out at Elizabeth and the other guests on the show. Wilkos becomes increasingly frustrated with John's behavior and tells him that he is not acting like a responsible parent.

In the end, Steve Wilkos provides Elizabeth with resources to help her recover from the trauma of the situation and offers support to the baby as he recovers from his injuries. The message of the episode is that child abuse is a serious issue that must be taken seriously, and that those who commit such crimes will be held accountable.
