Dr. Phil: Tiffany Started Acting Up In The Seventh Grade
Dr. Phil didn’t think that this was a problem Tiffani was born with, and her father, Bob, admits that there have been a series of events that have taken place in their family that Tiffani won’t talk to them about. Dr. Phil did not believe that the couple had no idea where their out-of-control teenager’s behavior came from, and Levi traced its origins back to the seventh grade.
According to Levi, around the seventh and eight grade, Tiffani started prioritizing fun over everything else, which caused problems. Since then, they have done everything from stripping her room to taking away her phone, but Tiffani doesn’t care. In fact, she actually taunts them and tells them to take her things away.
Dr. Phil: Father Files Assault Charges On Daughter
Bob had Tiffani arrested two years ago for assault, but there was a long history of hatred and abuse between them. Tiffani has no regard for Bob. Tiffani was 13, and one day when Bob was taking them to a hotel, Tiffani leaned over to a friend in the elevator and said, “What how upset I can get my parents.” Tiffani started yelling at her father, which quickly escalated into a full-on physical altercation. Tiffani was yelling and screaming at the top of her lungs and swinging punches, and her father was forced to pin her to the bed to control her.
Bob had witnesses, and the police were called. After interviewing witnesses, it was determined that Tiffani had instigated the fight. To teach her a lesson, Bob did press assault charges. Tiffani didn’t think that she deserved the assault charge, because he hit her too during the altercation. She also claims that her life has been being threatened by her father ever since that incident. Tiffani thought that Bob should be dead.
Parents Of Out-Of Control Teenager Don’t Know What They’re Doing Wrong
Dr. Phil still didn’t quite have a read on what the parents were doing wrong, but Bob did admit that their disciplinary actions were inconsistent. Bob was soft, Levi was overly tough, making sure that none of the punishments were ever consistent.
This was exemplified when Tiffani was last let out of jail and her parents took her door from her room and stripped much of its contents out. Tiffani went totally ballistic and started banging around the house, demanding to get her things back. Tiffani’s parents don’t yell back anymore, because they just don’t know what to say to Tiffani anymore.
