The Steve Wilkos Show Season 7 Episode 79 Did You Intentionally Burn Your Niece With A Cigarette?

Aunt Shelia and her niece, Kiki, come on the show to address some very disturbing allegations. Kiki claims that Shelia burned her with a cigarette on purpose. Shelia denies these allegations and says that it was an accident. The host, Steve Wilkos, asks Kiki to describe the incident in detail. Kiki says that she was sleeping on the couch when Shelia came in and started smoking. She then allegedly put the cigarette out on Kiki's arm. Kiki says that the pain was unbearable and that she still has a scar from the incident.

Shelia admits that she did put the cigarette out on Kiki's arm, but says that it was not intentional. She claims that she was drunk and didn't realize that the cigarette was burning Kiki. Steve Wilkos is skeptical of her story and asks her why she didn't take Kiki to the hospital if she knew that she was burned so badly. Shelia says that she didn't think it was that serious and that Kiki exaggerated the severity of the burn.

Kiki's mother, who is also Shelia's sister, comes on the show to support her daughter. She says that she believes Kiki's story and that she has noticed Shelia behaving erratically when she drinks. Steve Wilkos asks Shelia about her drinking habits and whether she has a history of violence when she is drunk. Shelia admits that she has gotten into physical altercations when she is drunk, but says that she would never intentionally hurt a child.

As the show progresses, Steve Wilkos brings out a surprise witness who says that she saw Shelia intentionally burn Kiki with the cigarette. The witness is a friend of the family who says that she was there the night that it happened. Shelia denies these allegations and says that the witness is lying. Steve Wilkos brings out the lie detector test and asks Shelia to take it. Shelia agrees to take the test and the results are shocking.

The results of the lie detector test confirm that Shelia did intentionally burn Kiki with the cigarette. Steve Wilkos confronts Shelia about her lies and says that she put her own niece in danger. Shelia breaks down in tears and apologizes for what she has done. Steve Wilkos then turns to Kiki and her mother and says that they should press charges against Shelia for child abuse.

The show ends with Kiki and her mother thanking Steve Wilkos for exposing the truth and for helping them get justice for what happened. They say that they hope their story will raise awareness about the serious consequences of child abuse and neglect. Steve Wilkos ends the show by urging viewers to speak up if they suspect that a child is being abused or neglected, and to always put the safety and well-being of children first.
