Give Me Back My Child Dr. Phil : Season 12 Episode 178

Rabecca claims that three-and-a-half years ago, her mother, Debra, tricked her into signing over legal guardianship of her 4-year-old daughter, Desiree, while she was suffering from postpartum depression. She says that Debra has developed an intense attachment to Desiree and has gone to great lengths to keep her daughter from her, including taking Desiree for the night — and then hiding her for three months. Debra says she believes the child belongs in her care, claiming Rabecca never bonded with Desiree as an infant and willingly signed over guardianship. She also alleges that Rabecca, who has two other daughters, is an unfit and neglectful mother — so why isn’t Debra fighting to take the other children? Hear the shocking reason why Debra says she's contacted Child Protective Services — and Rabecca’s response to the allegations. Plus, could something from Debra’s past be motivating her desire to parent Desiree? And, what does Dr. Phil think is the best outcome for Desiree? Can this mother and daughter find common ground before the courts make their decisions for them?
