The Steve Wilkos Show Season 7 Episode 89 Was The Baby Ever Real?
- February 14, 2014
In this episode of The Steve Wilkos Show, entitled "Was The Baby Ever Real?," host Steve Wilkos addresses the complicated and emotional story of a woman named Sandra who claims to have given birth to a baby girl several years ago, only to have her taken away from her by her ex-boyfriend. According to Sandra, her ex lied about the baby's health in order to convince her to give up custody, and she has been living with the pain and regret of that decision ever since.
As Steve listens to Sandra's story, he becomes increasingly suspicious of her, believing that there may be more to the situation than she is letting on. He questions her about details of the story that seem inconsistent, and pushes her to take a lie detector test in order to determine the truth about what really happened with the baby. Sandra agrees to take the test, but as the results come in, the situation becomes even more complicated.
Throughout the episode, Steve speaks with several different people who are involved in the story, including Sandra's ex-boyfriend and members of Sandra's family. Each person has a different perspective on what happened with the baby, and as Steve tries to sort through the conflicting accounts, tensions run high. At times, emotions boil over and guests become confrontational, leaving Steve to play the role of mediator and try to keep everyone calm.
Despite the difficult and emotional nature of the topic, Steve manages to keep the conversation focused on the facts and the search for the truth. He asks probing questions and doesn't shy away from difficult topics, even when it seems like the answers might be painful. Throughout it all, he remains compassionate and understanding, offering words of comfort when they are needed and pushing for answers when they are called for.
In the end, the truth about what happened with the baby is revealed, but the outcome is not what anyone expected. The situation raises important questions about the role of the justice system when it comes to child custody cases, and leaves the audience with a lot to think about. Ultimately, however, the focus of the show is on the emotional toll that events like this can have on the people involved, and Steve's compassion and understanding shine through in every moment.
