A family in serious crisis turned to Dr. Phil for help in dealing with their violent 12-year-old daughter who has her siblings and parents on edge and afraid for their lives.
They have taken their daughter to treatment centers seventeen times. They tried to send her to a residential boarding school, but she beat the host mother.

“Our 12-year-old daughter, Aneska, looks very cute and innocent, but she holds our family in a constant state of crisis,” Aneska’s mother, Melanie, told Dr. Phil. “[She] is explosive, violent and aggressive. She lies, she steals and she doesn’t respect authority.”

One hallmark of psychopaths is killing animals. At age 8, Aneska killed the family hamster with a flashlight. Her mom reports that Aneska was happy as she was killing the hamster. She also killed a nestful of baby birds with her bare hands. She has even tried to kill her siblings with a knife.

An overview of the family’s problems is in the video below.
