Mine as well, but I'm hoping that it causes Susan not to go and get both kids taken away. I think the quacks may be the only ones left who will treat her kids, because the regular M.D.'S like UCLA and Kaiser won't touch her with a 10 foot pole. Either way, she won't get her precious dope.

Oh goodness, I had such high hopes for the kids getting some real honest diagnoses and help but reading the reviews of this place and looking at their website is quelling those high hopes.

I've had experience with neuropsych evals because my 2 both went through the process here. It involved 4 hours of various testing and interviews and then a week later a comprehensive multi page report with findings and recommendations for a treatment plan. It doesn't take 3-4 months to get a treatment plan .. unless I'm reading the PnP website incorrectly.

In a way though that place is good. It CAN'T prescribe meds, so any meds entering him will be proof of lack of following the protocol.

Well either way, we're all going to keep fighting for Jani and Bodhi, even if the people who really should be fighting for them aren't. I think it's one of those things you educate yourself about and from then, you never stop thinking about them and hoping they're OK. I think by the middle of this year, a lot of other people from Michael/Susan/Cory's lives will have come forward, anonymously or not, to bring us even more information. Until then, the people who archive shit these abusive idiots post will keep doing that and we'll all keep doing our bit.

Susan's reputation will still be pretty ruined following the airing of the Dr. Phil episode. Regardless of how effective this evaluation is, it's safe to say that the era of getting quacks to fill Bodhi's meds is over. Docs in the area already don't like her and they'll know to especially steer clear once it's revealed that she doctor shops and is an overall loon. In that sense, the filming WAS effective because it shows the world a significant fraction of Susan's true colors.

While the PNP Center is not directly connected to the Dr. Phil Show, we share an association. First, Dr. Lawlis is Chief Psychological Director for the show. Second, several of the guests seen on the Dr. Phil Show are initially evaluated and treated at the PNP Center. We are recognized by Dr. Phil as a Center capable of helping individuals and families with the most complicated of circumstances."

He posted a picture of his photos (apparently) mounted on the wall of a Starbucks in Washington. Seeing that the vast majority of photos he takes and posts are horrible unskilled shots, I don't understand why a Starbucks would exhibit his instead of some stock photo or random canvas from Target.

Lol, Because they would post the photos of literally any local photographer when they do “community” projects like that, it was for a month tops. They also post local children’s artwork so it’s not like there is any sort of standards involved - just that you are local and corporate HQ told franchises to do this shit to make them seem more like a mom and pop shop supporting the community.

Cory’s photos would make good props to hang on the wall of a serial killer or stalker in a b-grade movie. They don’t look like anything other than creeper shots of random women and kids.

 

[large_farva]

Ok, Dr. Phil is a little bitch. PNP is some highly expensive woo bullshit, and has very vague and loosely worded statements to avoid legal issues with their "treatment direction" Game Plan ... rather than say treatment plan.
For almost $10K you can see a few doctors, move room to room and go home at the end of the day to get dosed with whatever will induce psychosis by batshit.
If they even go to Dallas, it's useless other than maybe they'll take note of batshit's behavior but doubtful, and even then what are they going to do. There have been at least 6 (or is it 7) DCFS calls to date, the current one being the only one that isn't just 'going away' ... if anything comes of it, both kids could be dead before it ever happens.
If batshit tries to get chelation for bodhi, it'll probably kill him.

 

[KeepHopeAlive]

@MirnaMinkoff Michael brought up the filthy, cramped apartment and Susan's claims of poverty as to why no bigger apt and then mentioned the BMW. An audible Ahaaa from the audience. They showed the apt with Susan showing it off like a model from the Price is Right. It was as bad as ever. No shame in Batshit's game. I can't remember if there was an audible audience reaction to that-it was a short film segment and there was so much to react to.


When Susan was whining about Bodhi not being "functional" (her word) and that he got so much ABA but he still wasn't functional whineblahwhine mememeee, Michael chimed in saying there were therapies other than ABA they could try. I wish I could remember if Michael stated that Susan doesn't reinforce the therapies. I just don't.

As far as the PNP Center, I never looked into it before, but Dr Phil is the King of Nepotism so I always had my suspicions despite him claiming it's the best in the world. Dr Frank Lawless gives me the creeps, always has. I should have qualified my earler comment on his status as Best on Autism, that was Dr Phil talking. I am kinda shocked that it isn't more medically based, cuz Dr Phil gives that impression. But I'm not impressed by Dr Phil, I think he is as exploitative as Susan and Dumbfuck. I'm sad to find out that it sounds more like navel gazing that real assessment and/or even mediocre treatment. Either way Susan will sabatoge it, and it will be noted.


Does Creepy Cory still have a job? He was posting at hours last week that made me think he's not working. I can't imagine a low-level job like his would give all that much time off.

Adult disabled people are number 1 on the list of those at risk for sex abuse. I'm am not accusing Paris or Carlos, but a job like that would totally attract the pedos. Some you know the second you see them, some fly under the Molester-radar. And if Batshit and Creepy pawn them off as much as they say to go eat out on date night, I could see abuse of either kid a reality, a real reality. And here's a horrifying thought that crept out of my jaded mind: Would Cory(or respite) make/and sell his own homemade child porn?? I can see pedos enjoying videos like the tickle one and the feeding one. Some pedos, like Sandusky, would be interested in more than just the sex shit. Fuckin' Yuck!!

Edit: @Barbarella I got the very distinct impression, by what was and what wasn't said by Phil and Sophy that it will be far harder for her to doc shop in LA. Certainly nothing is impossible and SusieQ with her unfettered mania and lack of conscience could still find someone to fill meds, but if Clorazil is that monitored, she may not be able to get that. She doesn't have the money for the black market. Dr Phil did mention his previous interactions on his show re: Jani, showed some old footage from it.

 

[Rabidcolombian]

His photos of people are just plain weird, and it's eerie that he's taken them. He's also as shitty a photographer as Susan is a videographer. They're just blurry, unframed, out of focus crap.

This is how you can tell that the real purpose of him taking those pictures are not purely because it's some pretentious hobby. No real photographer wastes their time snapping that many pictures of the same womens butt in different places (BTW, that's the one alarming thing about them - it's the same women, same backsides, but different scenery in all four photos. That implies Cory was following these women around.)

I apologise in advance if anyone has already noticed this-

Obviously, in her book Susan admits to giving Bodhi Thorazine.. he then looks to be being terrorised and frightened and exhibiting self injurious behaviours.

Yesterday- she said she was giving Bodhi Thorazine and then stated that ALL his behaviours has reappeared.

It’s very likely she did slip him the Thorazine and he’s suffering the fucking side effects. The other shit was likely counteracting the effects by almost sedating him.

Some psychologist are pissy about meds because they can’t prescribe them so they tend to push treatment methods that don’t involve medication. I’m sure theses were some old buddies of Phil.

I’d usually piss on a place like this but when it comes to children first trying to use other methods besides medication is good (using woo BS based therapies? Not so much but better than meds). Too many parents just want a pill to “fix” their kids and that’s rarely the best solution.

In Susan’s case this place is perfect because they don’t believe in solving kids issues with meds. But in the case of Susan any legit facility that had prescribing psychiatrists would write a script to further her medical child abuse so she doesn’t have to lift a finger to raise her kids.

We all know the only real hope for the kids is removal from Susan’s care. No matter what the facility says or does she is totally incapable of caring for anyone. We can only hope the facility aides in her eventually losing custody.

 

[large_farva]

Not only dosing him but undoubtedly doing everything she can to provoke him.

The hostility and aggression she shows toward Bodhi when things do not go her way is evident in 3 videos that I can think of off the top of my head...
Rainy days and cake pops,
the older video I shared recently where she fucking shoves him while ranting about UCLA and he looks utterly terrified and bewildered at what his mother is doing to him
and of course the cheese stands alone where she grabs the back of his head and shoves it down into the mattress while asking him if he's having a seizure.
She is taking her aggression out on him. She is blaming him for all of this. How odd is it that everything with Bodhi seemed to be improving until directly following the Dr. Phil taping? Red flags much.

Exhibiting self injurious behaviors, huh?

When you write that it scares me into thinking Susan already has some sadistic plan up her sleeve - as though she's getting ready for when everything falls apart and planting small posts to support her when the time comes.

 

[Muttnik]

Throughout the wide scope of videos we've seen of Bodhi interacting with his mother, you can really see a stark difference between then and now. Back when he was younger (or rather when Michael was still around) you see him attempting to reach out to Susan and interact with her in a friendly manner, sometimes asking for her or wanting to be soothed.
Contrast it to now where he ignores her prompting, stares at her with this flat apathetic expression, and is overall reluctant to be in her or Cory's presence.

Susan may have brainwashed Jani into needing her. But at the same time, she effectively turned her own son against her.

 

[Polexia Aphrodisia]

When do they go to Texas, again?

Because my theory is that Bodhi is going to "have a huge mental breakdown where he exhibits extreme self-harming and runs into traffic, as a result of the med wash", and suddenly have to be hospitalized safe and sound at Kaiser, right before it's time to go to Texas. Repeat ad infinitum until child services loses them in the shuffle and Dr Phil meets the next teen meme and forgets all about Susan.

 

[lameandgay2]

Send Susan to the fucking ranch.

 

[Muttnik]

A relevant way I wish all of this would end, minus any dead kids.

I think both kids have insecure attachment resulting from Susan and Michael's inability to be predictable, nurturing parents. Jani exhibits disordered attachment, meaning that she is clingy, seeks approval, and tends to be a caregiver. Meanwhile, Bodhi shows avoidant attachment; he'd take Screech just as much as a perfect stranger.

Attachment theory started to collect weird predictive aspects over the years, but I think the foundation is quite accurate.

You are spot on with that analysis.

A friend of mine has suffered with attachment disorder her whole life, also has a narcissistic mother who wants her to 'stay sick' if that makes sense. No MBP, but a need for her to stay helpless and lose all independence.

It became more apparent when her father left her batshit mother for his own sake. She left home after a horrific row, began to go to school, drive, got off medication, made friends, had sex, did drugs, went out dancing and still ended up scarily attached and went back. All independence now gone again. Her brother is now as fiercely independent as she became years ago but is also cold, calculating and manipulative just like his mother.

I see what Jani has to put up with here. She may never leave her mother no matter what Susan does to her.

 

[A Detachable Penis]

wait so it's not a long term facility? that's almost always what Dr phil does. i'm trying to keep up here but 20 pages a day with kids, full time job, a part time job and a husband clearly i'm missing something.

My only hope is that him and the Dr. are trying to get them taken away and having her perpetually fuck up is better than taking Bodhi away for 6 months.
