The Steve Wilkos Show Season 7 Episode 9 Did My Mom Molest My Daughter?

In the Steve Wilkos Show season 7 episode 9 titled "Did My Mom Molest My Daughter?", a woman named Sarah accuses her mother of sexually abusing her daughter, Lily. Sarah has been haunted by her own childhood trauma, where she was molested by her father, and she fears that her mother, who was aware of the abuse, might have repeated history with her granddaughter. She also reveals that her mother had a tumultuous relationship with her own brothers, in which sexual abuse was a topic, leading her to suspect that her mother may have a pattern of inappropriate behavior.

As the episode begins, Steve Wilkos sits down with Sarah and Lily to hear their story. Sarah reveals that she has been struggling with depression, anxiety, and guilt since she started suspecting her mother. She says that she noticed Lily behaving differently and withdrawing from her, and when she asked her what was wrong, she finally disclosed that her grandmother had touched her inappropriately and made her feel uncomfortable. Sarah expresses her anger and disgust at her mother, whom she describes as selfish and manipulative, and says that she wants justice for Lily and herself.

Steve then brings out the accused, Sarah's mother, who looks nervous and defensive. Steve asks her to tell her side of the story, and she denies ever touching or harming Lily or Sarah. She says that she loves her granddaughter and has always been there for her, and that Sarah is just making up lies to get attention and to punish her. She also tries to deflect the blame onto Sarah's father, saying that he was the one who abused her and that she did not know about it until years later.

Steve does not buy her excuses, and he probes deeper into her past and her relationship with her family. He brings out Sarah's aunt, who confirms that there were incidents of sexual abuse in their household when they were children, and that their mother was aware of it but did not do anything to protect them. She accuses Sarah's mother of being a manipulator and a liar, and says that she is sickened by the thought of her being around children. Steve also shows video evidence of Sarah's mother contradicting herself and lying to him during their previous encounter, adding more credibility to Sarah's allegations.

Steve then turns to Lily, who bravely recounts her experience with her grandmother and says that it made her feel scared and confused. She says that she wants her grandmother to apologize and to never do it again, and that she hopes her mother can heal from her own trauma. Steve praises Lily for speaking up and encourages her to continue to be strong and brave.

In the end, Steve delivers his verdict, based on the evidence and the testimonies presented. He confronts Sarah's mother with the hard truth that her actions were despicable and that she needs to take accountability for them. He also offers resources and support to Sarah and Lily to help them heal and move forward. The episode ends with a message from Steve about the importance of listening to children, believing them, and standing up against sexual abuse.
