Tara says she's living with a true sociopath
who has no ability to show emotions.
So the implication is that her children
are growing up in an emotionally barren environment.
Her husband Mike says Tara's always destroying
his character and having manic outbursts.
Now, one thing they both agree on
is that the children are caught in the middle.
Michael and I, we used to fight daily
in front of the children.
She's acting crazy again.
No, I'm asking a quick questions.
You've been to.
Yes, just stop.
'Cause we can show this to a psychologist,
to a court ordered psychologist.
Now I will not.
I now know his behavior, I will disengage.
When I start to scream and feel it,
I walk away immediately.
I don't ever start fights in front of the kids.
I try not to bring the kids into the conversation.
She's made comments to the children about my weight
and made a statement that I'm gonna die in five years.
She says that she cares about my health,
but if she cares about my health,
I don't believe she should ever make
such a statement to the children.
They don't come to me and say,
dad, are you really going to die?
They become numb.
My children are extremely traumatized with anxiety.
She's on medication.
She has high trauma and tantrums at night to unwind.
(screaming)
She will have nightmares.
Our youngest son has no coping skills.
He'll go and scream if there is trauma in the house.
Very very dangerous and extremely sad
to watch children learn behavior from adults.
You're a narcissist.
Keep filming, Mike.
You're a psycho. I have to
because you're back in your crazy mode.
My oldest son has been on the cuspis
of turning into Darth Vader.
It's me. Bitch!
I'm sick of you.
I call him Darth Vader.
He has not been treating me well for over 8 years.
Yelling and screaming ever night.
Every single (bleeping) night
and I'm sick of it!
'Cause I'm trying to change a pathology.
Just like the iPads are doing to children,
just like your trauma when you were a child.
It's hard to say that Tara's a good mother
when she says horrible things about me
in front of the kids.
She's displaying behavior not that you've taped,
but that she's knowingly being taped
and showing explosive behavior
and I'm seeing what's happening in front of the kids here
and my pivotal question for you
is why you are not stepping in
and protecting these children
(applauding) from this chaotic environment.
And needless to what I'm saying,
there's no question here.
Negligence is child abuse.
If you fail to protect children
from mental, emotional, or physical harm,
that constitutes abuse and you know what's happening.
You're seeing what's happening
and you're doing nothing to protect the children
from this explosive expression,
these manic outbursts as you call them.
You're allowing these children who don't have
the ability to get up and leave,
who don't have the ability to turn off the problem.
You're just allowing them to continue
to be subjected to this day after day after day after day
and I'm wondering why that's okay.
I've taken them out of the house on occasions when I can.
I've also contacted her doctor
and I've been told HIPAA laws,
I'm not allowed to do anything.
HIPAA laws, they're not allowed to tell you
what's in her record or her diagnosis
or her treatment plan.
That doesn't mean they're not able to listen to you.
They just can't tell you anything in return.
I've definitely reached out to her doctor numerous times
and expressed my concern.
What are you willing to do to protect these children?
