Susan is living in a one bedroom apartment
with her new husband and my two children.
Janni sleeps in her own bedroom,
and then we have Bodey over here,
Corey and I are over here.
They have no real furniture.
Bodey sleeps on a mattress on the floor
next to the mattress that Susan and Corey share.
The apartment is very dirty.
The living conditions are appalling.
Since I've left, things have gotten progressively worse.
Well Susan says she's doing the best she can
with two schizophrenic children,
but Michael says her home is a mess and so is she.
Now Michael says Bodey is not schizophrenic.
His only diagnosis is autism.
Susan says that Michael fights her every step of the way
and all she's doing is fighting for 11 year old
Bodey's true diagnosis.
Michael and I are not on the same page
with parenting our children.
I believe Bodey is schizophrenic.
Michael believes Bodey's severely autistic.
Bodey has not been officially diagnosed schizophrenic.
Bodey has seen upwards of 50 doctors.
Bodey has been on at least 25 different medications.
Right now, Bodey is not really functioning at all.
There have been times when Bodey has gotten so violent
that nobody could control him.
He would be grabbing at his own genitals,
trying to pull them off.
I would say Bodey is probably a two year old's
level of functioning.
After our divorce, Michael moved about 2,000 miles away.
I believe Michael just cut and run.
Michael left me to pick up the pieces
and he left me alone.
Michael has replaced our family with his new family.
Michael sees the kids as a nuisance to his new life.
I believe Michael wants them both to be institutionalized,
especially Bodey, and then he can just, I guess, go on.
Michael comes in for the fun and then he leaves.
And then he criticizes me
for what I'm doing after he leaves.
He's not even here.
I really hate him.
Ahhh!
Well I'm sure you're not excited to see him then.
He's been coming around actually.
He took Bodey out for a couple of times as he's been here.
By the way, when you left last night,
you said he ate, but he did not.
All of his food, Janni told me the truth, sorry.
She tells me the truth.
No he did eat.
And not only that because he's losing weight rapidly.
He is off all medication right now.
He has been for two weeks
Okay, well we're not here to talk about
what he had for dinner last night.
Okay.
Tell me why you're so convinced that he has
childhood onset schizophrenia.
I believe he has both autism and childhood schizophrenia.
He is diagnosed with both, and basically...
No, he's not diagnosed with both.
Yes he is.
He's never been diagnosed with
childhood onset schizophrenia.
Well, psychotic disorder, either way it doesn't matter.
I don't agree with,
that was one doctor and how do you give a child
a diagnosis of psychotic disorder when he doesn't speak?
He does speak, though.
He's been speaking all night.
He's been up all night, and you know what he wants to do?
He's not articulating the hallucinations, though.
He's articulating, well I have video that I just took
actually that you can have, Dr. Phil.
He's talking about the old man in charge right now.
Now I don't know who the old man in charge right now is.
Probably a video that he's seen.
And maybe it is, either way he's not functioning.
And he has all the ABA therapy in the world.
He has 40 plus hours of it in his autism class.
They can't work with him unless he is mentally stable.
Then they're able to do the therapies.
How many doctors have you taken him to?
We have taken him to UCLA where there is one main doctor
and a ton of fellows.
You've seen about 50 doctors?
Yes, yes, because they're all under the one main doctor.
Okay, and of the 50 doctors,
you've got one that said schizophrenia?
Actually I have three. Which was
the last one.
No there were two,
there were two outpatient psychiatrists.
One, I don't know if I can name names or not.
I'd rather you not.
I figured you would not want that.
There's one doctor
in Northridge And what they said was
psychotic disorder.
No, no, in Northridge, I have to tell you,
there was a doctor, you remember
and he was trying desperately to get Bodey on Clozapine
because he knew, No he wasn't.
Yes he was.
