Rick says, “It was just such a shock that I didn’t know how to deal with it.”
The couple says they began supervising Robbie 24/7 and tried to find him a treatment facility placement. Then, says Kristin, Robbie threatened that if he didn’t get help that day – he would rape one of his siblings, “So we took him straight to the hospital.”
Kristin and Rick say Robbie has been in treatment for the past year and is due to come home soon, and they don’t know what to do. Can Dr. Phil help?

the fact that the parents acted on this fast and didn’t ignore it like it was nothing they truly are heroes.
-
That boy knew something was wrong with him he told his parents everything.
-
Imagine being a kid having the courage to tell your parents you need help for something so f'd up and the "help" they get you is putting you on dr. phil
-
Imagine if all rape was taken as seriously.
-
The kid clearly wants help, he told his parents about his urges and straight up said "Get me help today".
-
He must have really trusted his parents for him to be completely honest with them.
-
This is actually so traumatic for the parents.
-
The fact that he actually told his parents is what really surprised me, like he knows he's un-well
-
I’m not defending Robbie but i admire the fact he said “listen I need help and I need it now before something really bad happens” 98% of ppl don’t do that ever
-
This is so depressing, the child even knew himself he was sick
-
"mom I need help" ... sure son lets talk about this on live TV in front of millions of people....
-
I am SO glad he told his parents.
-
If the parents haven't been this proactive, they could have had a serial killer on their hands.
-
This is disturbing but at least his parents acted quickly.
-
This is too important for "Dr" Phil
-
the saddest part is that it isnt even the kid's fault
-
Imagine if this kid was born into a broken home. That's a scary thought.
-
“He will find a way to keep them quiet” means he is a potential killer too.
-
I went to a mental hospital when I was 13-14 and there was a kid across my hallway around 7-8 give or take, he would openly tell us how he was in there for touching his sibling, assaulting and would threaten us too, it made us all others sick and wanted to beat the kid (we were kids) but still knew what was wrong from right, he kept lying to the hospital saying he got better but we knew he didn't and they let him go home smh

Never let your kids use the internet unmonitored
