Horrorcow Susan Schofield Cabana, Cory Cabana, & Michael Schofield / Schofield Productions / @bipolarnation - A Tragicomic Tale of Psychiatric Munchausen's by Proxy

Dr Phil has pissed all over a woman who over medicated her son on about 20 or 30 psychiatric medications and sedatives before. I'll try and find the clip. Dr Phil will probably mention Mike's faults, but all in all, with the background on Cory, the heavy documentation of the children before and after Susan's YouTube hibernation and what the new psychiatrist and child services said, he will be on Mike and the kid's side completely.

Plus, Phil definitely doesn't seem to take kindly to parental alienation.
I remember that episode I just can’t thibk of it. Was it a kid who had such severe behavior issues that they were loading the child up on meds. I do remember the episode I just can’t recall the details. But I can specifically remember him walking to the screen with a spread sheet of all the meds. Kinda like the one someone here just recently made on bodhi and his meds.

You guys mean this episode?
 
Even people with MbP can back off of their crazed desire for more medical attention if they're receiving it from another quarter. Susan was still hitting up the UCLA ER every few weeks until spring 2017. They got wise and she was forced to back off. Then, by June, she found Kaiser and Rizvi, and got her dream med for Bodhi plus a hike in all of Jani's dosages. She also started pumping out videos on the channel rapidly around the same time.

So Susan replaced her hospital attention with the attention she got on YouTube. She never stopped her MbP behavior, she just temporarily changed the attention source while she was getting all the drugs she wanted for Bodhi (when she was denied lithium she was already starting to lose it though). Now that she doesn't have her pills, she's back at the ER causing a scene every other night.
Thanks for the response. The way you put it makes a lot more sense to me. I actually fell for the poor jani youngest girl with skits ever years ago when all the shows aired back then. Saw a YouTube video a few months back and I would say within a few days realized the true situation especially reading the comments. At that point I found my way here and lurked for a while before signing up a couple weeks ago. I was already intrigued with mbp when a show I watched two years ago had someone on it who they thought was raised by a mpb parent. That led me to watch all the documentaries on YouTube way before I even found schofield cabana. Again thank you and it does make more sense now. I’m sure you also have seen other mpb cases like gypsy and the mom who killed her son and when I compared this to those it didn’t exactly compare to what I have known but yet still screamed mbp

You guys mean this episode?
No that isn’t the one I saw but my god that’s horrible. I do expect a spread sheet fully gone over in her episode once it airs. I really hope this will be the straw that breaks the camels back!

I'm Cory's daughter. I have a lot to say because what my dad and Susan are doing to these kids is wrong and I believe their sole interest is in a paycheck and not the best interest of the children. What should I do? I'm not sure CPS will take me seriously because my dad and I are not close and never have been and I haven't seen any of this in person, I just know what they tell me and the videos they post. Any ideas?

If you're legit you need to talk to staff to get your identity verified.
 
I hope everyone is on high alert that Susan LOVES to induce psychosis with high doses of benadryl and god knows what else when there's a camera crew around.
It's amusing that she thinks they aren't going to completely expose her MBP.
Hope this results in the kids being removed from her custody.
 
The thing is, when you numb a child's natural emotions and reactions with meds, of course they're going to blow up and go crazy when they get off them. That's just what happens. I was on Seroquel through my formative young teenage years and when I took myself off it when I was 16, my emotions were so turbulent and destructive to everyone around me, I was mistakenly diagnosed with a personality disorder. At 17.

I believe there must be hundreds of thousands of medicated kids who end up diagnosed with personality disorders not through the natural channels i.e abuse as a child etc, but because they have been so numb for so many years that they just never developed the skills to control themselves and spilling a glass of water could send them into a frenzy. Then those kids end up on Dr Phil as out of control teens, of course they're out of control!!! Ugh.

Cory's daughter Kelly has been extremely supportive to her father and Susan; she even gave him a car recently, and raised money for the Jani Foundation on her birthday last year. Are you a different daughter?

Other folks have given you the moderator link I believe; you can confirm your ID with them.

If that's true, you've supported Susan in the past, as seen on her Facebook comments. Why would you change your mind?
 
Bottom line, Dr. Shill is only interested in what he thinks makes him look good, and he and Dr. Charles Sophy, psychiatrist and head of med dept at DFCS, are tight. He's creepy af too. But Dr Shill is savvy enough to see what's going on that this could be a good thing ultimately for Bodhi and Jani. The progression in Grey Lighten's videos is stunning, the med history is telling as is Batshit's behavior.

Batshit will get eviscerated, Dr Shill's new past-time, and Michael will get beat down. I doubt any of Batshit's drs will appear anywhere on the show or their names be mentioned, the show isn't interested in getting in legal-medical entanglements. It will be Batshit and to a lesser degree, the Michael show, hopefully with a side of Creepster in for good measure, to show just how poor Batshit's judgement is. I'm being optimisitc there, they probably don't want Creepster but Batshit and him will be pushing it. I can see Creepster smelling his armpits now........I'm a SUPERSTAR!!.
 
Yes I did support them because I didnt know what all you had found in my dad's past (explained a lot). Since I didn't know all that I was giving my dad and his new wife the benefit of the doubt. I had no reason to believe they were untrustworthy. And I gave them my 2007 dodge caliber because my husband and I had 3 vehicles at the time and we had to drive from Reno to Seattle for a move and it was too short notice to sell it. I tried to give it to my friend first, a single mom with 2 kids who was leaving her boyfriend to drive back to lousiana but she rejected my kindness saying it was too much for her to accept. So I parked the car at a walmart and mailed my dad the key and he flew out and drove it home. So I basically just didnt want it to go to complete waste or pay the money to have it shipped to me. And I haven't supported susan in ages on facebook as we are no longer friends on there &the only thing I say to my dad on Facebook is how his political views are .....odd. my husband loves to get into debates with him.
Yes I'm waiting for staff to get back to me to further confirm my identity.

And once I confirm my identity so you all trust me I'll tell you and show you why I have changed my mind. So I dont have to explain twice.

Sounds good, girl. Hopefully they get back to you soon. Thank you for sharing with us. Assuming the mods verify you, I'm sorry your dad sucks and then married a crazy woman.
 
All I've heard about Dr. Phil is that he's not a real doctor...

He’s a joke. I’ve only had to endure a few episodes of his show thanks to my grandparents loving him. Old ppl and boomers love his “folksy straight talking Texas” wisdom.

He was a hired gun expert for the litigation industry in Texas which is how Oprah found him and why he’s so good for stage theatrics. He got years of practices doing it for jury persuasion for whatever opinion he was paid to give. He’s not had any real therapeutic practice or training in decades. He’s persuasive showman that’s great at knee jerk emotionalism that is a very effective tactic to sway opinions, which is great for 40 min of TV.

All that aside it’s very likely he will expose Susan’s abuse because she’s a perfect TV villain abusing her children for attention and convenience. His show also offers to pay for treatment and therapy in post-production which I’m sure Mike is keen on.

Susan, above all, needs inpatient therapy, parenting classes and medication. The kids just need off meds and new parents/homes.

(Dr. Phil would be a massive hypocrite if he tries to shame Mike too much about the cheating, since he started dating his current wife while still married to the first. Rumors abound that he fucks around on the current wife but they know keeping a front of a perfect marriage is key to their brand and bank accounts. His cringey wanna-be-celebrity douchebag son Jay is a great example of him not following the parenting advice he gives others. He’s been trying to buy Jay a career using his own juice for years. The only thing Jay has ever accomplished is riding daddy’s coattails hard and spending his money.)
 
This is quite the development. We have become accustomed to Cory responding for Susan, it will be very interesting to see how she responds to structured, educated, probing questions (I do hope that Cory is kept backstage part of the interview). Her videos are typically very short (30secs-4mins) and they are train wrecks, how is she going to cope with intense scrutiny, Michael, Phil and knowing that she's not in control of the camera?

Dr Phil has an entire research team and they will absolutely be fully up to speed with every available piece of information and I fully expect him to tear Susan and Cory new assholes. Unfortunately, it was the initial crazy media train that fuelled this situation, this is an opportunity for the same people to do right by both children and give them an opportunity at some sort of meaningful existence.

I think it's going to be one hell of a showdown. It began with the media, here's hoping it fucking ends with them too!!
 
The thing is, if Dr Phil calls her out or embarrasses her in any way, she's just gonna call it a wrap, leave, and refuse to let them air the footage.
But then, is Susan capable of embarrassment? Her mania and narcissism may shield her from it entirely.

Now Cory might put his foot down, and tell Susan to rescind her permission, if he feels their livelihood is going to be threatened. With the kids inpatient via the program, Susan would have no income. He's more savvy about those kinds of things than she is.
