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

Ok, updates ahead..

Yes, what Susan posted regarding the Dr. Phil show is correct. That was what I was alluding to in my earlier post regarding the media outlet. At the time I posted that, Susan had not yet been contacted by the show, so there was uncertainty about whether or not anything would come of it.

Michael is flying out tomorrow, taping is Monday. Michael has talked extensively with multiple producers from the show. From what I hear, they are very thorough. The subject matter was mainly Bodhi, but the topics of Jani, possible MBP, the divorce, and poor coparenting were discussed as well.
The recent medical history of Bodhi was also a large portion of the conversation.

DCFS is aware of the show, and told Michael that since there's no open case, hes free to do it if he wishes. The investigation is still ongoing, but they haven't opened an official case.
 
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?

Glad to have you aboard. Let the mods verify your identity and then they can also give you some direction. If you're real, and I have no reason to doubt you are, God bless you for reaching out and trying to protect your stepsister and stepbrother. Michael may want to talk to you, but again, I would let the more experienced members on here give you some direction.
 
If Susan does end up on Dr. Phyllis, it will hopefully be heavily featured and her character ripped further to shreds by content creators on YouTube who enjoy using the good 'doctor's shorter clips uploaded to the platform's dedicated channel for sweet, easy content.

I think Pewdiepie features Dr. Phil criticisms from time to time, among other popular YTers.

It would be nice to see people who took 'Born Schizo' as truth to get an update on how heavily her children have been medicated.

Dr. Sophy is a shill but even he would be hard-pressed to agree that the children are well cared for, safe and appropriately medicated.

Here's hoping.
 
Shower thought: since even Susan has adopted Cory's favorite language about people playing doctor on TV (see her use the same language here saying doctors play gods)

do you think Cory will lose his cool and tell Dr. Phil he's not a real doctor, he just plays one on TV?
 
Do you guys think Dr. Phil is aware of the Farms?

Doesn't really matter---shows like his helped to give Michael and Susan their start as fame-thirsty, drug-happy parents, and his producers at least have been aware of how that story has gone lately. It just had to get crazy enough to give Dr. Phil a reason to want them on his show. He's got the wife vs. ex angle now along with multiple hospital visits, drugged-up kids, a creepy new hubby, and a screaming harpy ranting and raving. It's perfect Dr. Phil material.
 
Phil is a real doctor, kinda. Which is how he originally got his gig. He stated off as a court expert witness who helped Oprah win some lawsuit, so she gave him a segment that eventually turned into Dr Phil. Then what happened is after he got famous he never renewed any of his licenses because he never intended to practise legit again, but he still has all the degrees.

He also allegedly had inappropriate contact with a patient in the 1980s, before he was a blip on the map for helping Oprah with her legal case (something to do with beef and defamation - Texans take their meat seriously!) let alone the international success he is today.

I'm super rainbow that he will rip Susie a new one. Cory too. And Michael, to a lesser extent.
 
If, and it's a big if, this episode is actually created and aired, hopefully the Dr. Phil team will have the wisdom to leave Amy and the cheating out of it, and possibly even leave Cory out of it, and focus on Susan's MBP behavior and how badly the kids have deteriorated due to Susan drugging them out of their minds for years on end. There are tons and tons of Horrible Mom side stories, like her filthy home, never cooking, never nurturing the kids, bringing Cory in to live with them without even knowing him, no one having any privacy, dragging the kids around in the middle of the night, constantly filming the kids and posting it online, but the big story to focus on for a short 45-minute segment is the incredible amounts of drugs that Susan is using to slowly kill her kids. The other stuff is bad but the drugs will leave the audience stunned and could bring in huge ratings and publicity, especially considering the family is already somewhat well known. It could be a huge bombshell update show.

If they will allow Michael to say some mea culpas, ask for forgiveness and say he now sees the light and wants to save his kids, Michael might skate away fairly unscathed, perhaps get stern dressing down but otherwise be painted as the desperate dad whistleblower.

The research team certainly is. Dr. Phil probably knows about it, but not much beyond "this forum is actively discussing this case and trying to get help for the children."
I wouldn't be surprised if the forum is mentioned in that capacity. I don't think they would name it though, don't want to send a bunch of middle aged moms to the alt right cyber bowling Yakuza.

Just in time for May's Sweeps Week in the ratings.

This is actually the one reason I highly doubt that the show will tape (or air); Dr. Phil might have to eat the hat if he brought the Schofields back to his set. He would have to admit being swindled by a munchhausen mentslist, it would do his 'professional reputation' no favours if he were to admit that he and Oprah helped to propel this family to stardom and paint them in a sympatuetic light/capitalize on their struggles only to do a 180 and 'own' them on international television for being abusive and overmedicating their children.
