Dr. Phil - Season 10 - Eps 188: Teen Mama Drama
(Original airdate: February 7, 2012) Parents, pay attention: In the United States, one in six girls will become a teen mom, and oftentimes, the baby's father gets a free pass and is not held to the same responsibilities in raising the child. Eighteen-year-old Taten has no job, no phone, no car and no permanent place to live. What he does have is a 3-month old daughter with one teenage girl and a second child on the way, according to another. Autumn, 16, gave birth to Taten's daughter, Emma, in August and although Taten has cheated on her numerous times, and possibly fathered another child with her former best friend while she was pregnant with his baby, Autumn still wants Taten in her life. Caitlyn, 16, says she is currently five months pregnant with Taten's second child. Taten has his doubts. Taten says he wants to be with Autumn because he doesn't want to "tear their family apart," but admits that if their relationship doesn't work out, he might want to be willing to give it a shot with Caitlyn. What will the results of Taten's paternity test reveal? Is he the father of Caitlyn's baby, and will he man-up and be a better dad to one -- or both -- babies? How will the teens and their mothers deal with the outcome? Dr. Phil reveals the hard facts about teen pregnancy: Find out what the future may have in store for these young moms. And, can he convince them that they're better off as friends than enemies? If you suspect your teen may be sexually active, you can't afford to miss this show!
