The Dangerous and Deadly Takeover Crisis

from The Dr. Phil Podcast

Dr. Phil discusses the dangerous and deadly national takeover trend that thousands of teens and young adults are participating in throughout small towns, and big cities, across the country. A trend that is being promoted on social media and results in hundreds of minors and young adults taking over streets, beaches, parks, malls, and even abandoned properties.Dr. Phil sits down with parents, Terri and Ivan, who say they had never heard the words "Teen Takeover," until it was too late. Tragically, their beautiful and loving 17-year-old daughter, Ali, lost her life after being shot while caught in the middle of crossfire, at a teen takeover party she was attending. Dr. Phil will also speak with Volusia County Sheriff, Michael Chitwood, who has vowed to go after the promoters of these takeovers, as well as Polk County Sheriff, Grady Judd, who has not minced words when it comes to holding parents civilly and possibly criminally accountable for their teen’s takeover behavior.Sponsored by Preserve Gold: Get up to $20,000 in FREE Gold & Silver with a qualified purchase.
