- April 16, 2009
In season 2 episode 102 of The Steve Wilkos Show, titled "Prove to Me You Are Clean, Mom," the host Steve Wilkos tackles a heart-wrenching story of a mother who is accused of drug addiction and child endangerment by her own daughter. The episode begins with the daughter appearing onstage and accusing her mother of using drugs in front of her younger siblings and neglecting their basic needs.
The daughter's accusations are met with disbelief and outrage from the mother, who denies all charges and claims that she's being unjustly accused by her daughter. Steve Wilkos, with his years of experience as a former police officer and TV personality, takes control of the situation and starts an investigation to uncover the truth.
The first witness to come forward is the daughter's father, who corroborates her story and reveals that he too was a victim of the mother's drug addiction. He reveals that he had to leave the home and file for custody of his kids to protect them from their mother's harmful behavior.
The mother denies all of this, insisting that she's been falsely accused and that her daughter is lying to hurt her. However, Steve Wilkos isn't convinced and decides to administer a lie detector test to both the mother and daughter to reveal the truth.
The results of the lie detector test are shocking and reveal some disturbing truths about the mother's behavior. Steve Wilkos confronts the mother with the results and asks her to come clean about her drug addiction. But the mother still denies everything and insists that she's innocent.
The situation becomes even more complicated when the mother's sister and brother come forward with their own stories of drug addiction and family dysfunction. They reveal that the mother has been involved in drug abuse for years and has a history of putting her family in danger.
Steve Wilkos intervenes and offers the mother a chance to get help and turn her life around. He connects her with a drug rehabilitation program and encourages her to seek therapy to address her issues. The daughter, meanwhile, is given custody of her younger siblings and is assured of their safety.
The episode ends on a hopeful note, with Steve Wilkos offering his support and guidance to the mother and encouraging her to take the first step towards a better future. The episode serves as a reminder of the devastating impact of drug addiction on families and the importance of seeking help when dealing with addiction.
