Kalli the College Escort

This episode was on this week. It was about the college aged girl who is an escort and now prostitute. The whole episode is trying to wake this space cadet up to the dangers of her lifestyle. She seemed to have no connection to what was being said.

The thing that got me were 2 things...
1) At the very end of the episode, they talk about the statistics about how sex workers are 51 times more likely to be raped and murdered and then they end and go to Robin's cosmetic commercial. WTF? We just got done talking about this girl being potentially assaulted and murdered and now we have to deal with his old bag of a wife and her nonsense products? It's just too much.

2) The second thing was about she wanted to be a sugar baby for Dr Phil. Really? That just seems like something that was made up for drama. Also, more reason to include Robin.

So many things to say about this family and none of it good.I hope she does follow through on taking Dr Phil's help because I think he nailed it whe he said at the end people who do this kind of thing do it because they believe it's what they deserve.

Yeah, her mother was a big part of the problem. Just another case of a mother wanting to be a friend and not a parent.

This episode really bothered me. I felt like he did not care and did not really offer her help like his other guest. It look to me as if the father was pouring out his heart. Yet, Dr. Phil looked like he was over this whole family. I have seen worse on his show. Him switching gears at the end of the show made me feel some type of way. One more episode like this and I am deleting him from my DVR.

The only one I liked was the father.The mother,as someone said,was just trying to be the friend,and she kind of came off as a bimbo in an out fit that was too young for her so it was kind of hard to take her seriously.The sister was a single teen mom with two kids,so she wasn't exactly a beacon pointing the right way to go in life.This is what a family adrift with no compass looks like.
