Dr Phil: Angelique Baby Snatcher Victim
Angelique had a hard time recounting the ordeal and talking about it with Dr. Phil. She said that although there were warning signs everywhere, in the moment she didn’t want to assume anything and offend Kassandra. She thought she was crazy for thinking someone else was crazy.
Dr. Phil told her to get those thoughts out of her head. The lessons that parents once taught their children about giving people the benefit of the doubt are fast becoming unnecessary. Cases such as this one happen all too often, and the outcome is not always the same. Dr. Phil brought up three examples of this happening to other young mothers who were killed. Angelique was lucky to have finally acknowledged the warning signs.
