AIDA LONGO

Dr. Phil, I wish there was a star that went lower than one. I could not believe what I saw and heard on your show today, about the teacher having sex with a student(s). Your comments brought laughter from the audience. And telling the student's Mother to put on a muzzle. Where do YOU get off showing such disrespect, unprofessionalism, sarcasm and insensitivity? This whole event was extremely serious and these people came to you for help. As a parent, I have to say, if that was my child and you made light and laughter, terrible, completely inappropriate commentary, I would have a tough time to not slap you. Incidentally, I am a very, very senior person, remembering when the title "Doctor" brought immediate respect and serious comfort; we were being helped . You commented that the world was "insane" - YOU need to look in a mirror because YOU are certainly included in that category. Get serious, if you want to be a comic, do so, or be the doctor you started out being; one who actually helped people with guidance, understanding and acknowledge of the seriousness of their problem(s). You not need to be both, just choose one. True, I do not have to watch your show, and I don't because of your behavior. I happened to be changing channels, and once again, I could NOT believe how insensitive you were and actually making fun. I saw the pain in that Mother's face and her son laughing at your comedic efforts.
