The mothers
on today’s show feel that they’ve
lost control of their homes to out-of-control
daughters. They hope to address the anger emanating
from their teens and curb the behavior that is
tearing apart their families. Learn more about
their stories below:
Becky’s painful past has made for Janine’s
painful present. 16-year-old Becky willfully
admits to verbally harassing and even striking
her mom, but defends her behavior as retribution
for Janine’s past infidelity and party
tendencies. Though currently living with Janine,
Becky believes she would be much happier in her
father’s custody. She feels that her mother
is only keeping her because of the child support
money she receives as a result. Video Clip: Dr.
Roger Rhoades tries to mediate the rift between
mother and daughter.

At just
13, Shanay is sexually active and partaking in
drugs and alcohol. Her mother Indria is at her
wit’s end trying to discipline Shanay and
even landed behind bars after being reported
for corporal punishment. Indria says she wants
Shanay to realize her potential and doesn’t
want to “lose her daughter to the streets.”
