Parents Say 12-Year-Old Daughter Is Angry, Reactive, And Physically Attacks Them

“Our 12-year-old daughter is very angry and reactive. She lacks the willingness to follow rules and hates being checked in on,” says Jennifer. “When she’s angry, she can’t control her impulses and she will attack.”

    Why do the parents always blame the child. Like she’s literally 12 you absolutely idiots. You, YOU are mostly responsible for raising your child right

  2. Jacob Jensen on July 18, 2022 at 10:57 pm

    When they are behaving like this at this age. It is always the parents who are at fault. It definitely isn’t something she is just born with, she became this for one reason or another. Either it is at school or at home, but no matter what the parents should have stopped this before it escalated to this point

  3. Callie Hilbert on July 18, 2022 at 10:58 pm

    I think any kid whose parents goes on Dr. Phil and shows their behavior to the entire world and not do this in private is also going to act out

  4. Kadyn Haase on July 18, 2022 at 11:00 pm

  6. Luna Celestia on July 18, 2022 at 11:01 pm

    I don’t believe in corporal punishment, or any kind of parent-on-child violence, BUT…I would kick that kid’s a$$ all the way into next week! Why do they put up with this???

  7. Malcom Lee on July 18, 2022 at 11:02 pm

  10. FS on July 18, 2022 at 11:07 pm

    Put her in the street for a while, soon she will realize that her parent love and care for her. They just want the best for her. But she is too stupid to understand

    In our Arab country a good slap will fix this behavior for ever !! This the West Country model of dealing with their children , No wonder there is no respect at all

  32. Linda Rivera on July 18, 2022 at 11:42 pm

  33. Raymond Cannon on July 18, 2022 at 11:43 pm

    All of these "adults" in the comment section are passive aggressive and need help asap.

  34. ZanDogg2008 on July 18, 2022 at 11:44 pm

    If that was my daughter, definitely not because I’m 13, i would take her 15 miles to a mountain, and make her walk back and think about what she has done, and if the hasn’t, then i’ll make her do it again, and maybe give her the belt

  35. Fernando Garza on July 18, 2022 at 11:46 pm

    I’m pretty sure she’s a typical swiftie

  36. Deano on July 18, 2022 at 11:47 pm

  37. Glenn Burns on July 18, 2022 at 11:47 pm

  41. Dizzie Chef on July 18, 2022 at 11:51 pm

    I hate the way he blames the parents.

  42. MRFlame Z on July 18, 2022 at 11:52 pm

    Posting videos and trying to get famous instead of disciplining the kid correctly, it’s obviously the parents fault

  43. Cozuro on July 18, 2022 at 11:52 pm

  44. Rissa Rose on July 18, 2022 at 11:53 pm

  47. Ashlee Gabrielle Champagne on July 18, 2022 at 11:54 pm

    The Girl needs to be arrested

  48. Crystak on July 18, 2022 at 11:55 pm

    Ok. I feel like she is an only child, and they don’t set up boundaries or anything to stop her. That is why she continues to hurt them. She may have been neglected as a kid, or something else. I think she also may be depressed or something, because that is a common age to be changing and feeling misunderstood. They should really try some family therapy, or just spend more time with her. She needs help, they need help, get family therapy sessions. The mom also said she thought she was very privileged, and living a good life. The parents may compare her to other kids suffering, and never focus on her problems. I think they all need some help. Seriously.
