The Steve Wilkos Show Season 13 Episode 64 Is My Ex a Child Abuser?

In this episode of The Steve Wilkos Show, titled "Is My Ex a Child Abuser?," a mother comes to the show in an effort to protect her children from their father, who she believes is a child abuser. The couple had been divorced for a few years and the mother had custody of the children, but the father had recently been granted unsupervised visitation rights.

The mother claims that her son had told her that his father had hit him repeatedly during one of the visitations. She also found bruises on her daughter’s back and believes that they were made by the father. The father, on the other hand, denies all of these allegations, stating that he would never hurt his children and that the mother is just trying to keep him from seeing them.

Steve Wilkos, the host of the show, starts by asking the mother to give more details about what her son said and about the incident with her daughter. He then brings out the father to hear his side of the story.

The father tells Steve that the mother is just bitter about their divorce and trying to make him look like a bad father. He insists that he has never laid a hand on his children and that he loves them very much.

Steve then brings out the children, who have been waiting backstage. The son, who is around 10 years old, tells Steve that his father did hit him and that he was scared to go back to his house for visitation. The daughter, who is around 7 years old, tells Steve that her daddy didn’t hurt her and that her mother is lying.

Steve then brings out a child psychologist to talk about the effects of abuse on children and how to spot the signs. The psychologist explains that it is not uncommon for children to have conflicting stories and that it is important to listen to their words and behavior to determine what is happening.

After hearing from the children and the psychologist, Steve presents the results of a lie detector test that the father had taken prior to the show. The test results reveal that the father was being truthful when he denied ever physically abusing his children.

Following the test results, Steve asks the father to leave the stage and talks to the mother and children privately. He advises the mother to let go of her resentment towards the father and focus on co-parenting for the sake of their children. He also tells the children that their safety is his top priority and that they should tell someone if they ever feel uncomfortable or unsafe.

In the end, the family is given resources and counseling options to help them move forward in a positive direction.
