Did anyone catch this last night? CNN or FOX news or some other all time news channel was reporting it.
Primetime videotaped "Problem Stepfamilies" and caught a stepfather who slapped and then punched his stepdaughter at least 5 times - totally out of control (looked abt. 15 years) and then stood over her screaming. Mom, of course, continued to sit on the couch - she might have flinched - not sure. I was just appalled...
Primetime is getting slammed b/c they didn't report it to authorities. Here's their statement - which basically says this was a one time incident.

Sorry - but in my house, you could tape 24/7 for eternity and NEVER catch an incident like this. I can't believe Primetime is justifying it this way.
If you go here and look under "Recent Stories" there is video on Stepfamilies in Crisis.
Here's a link to the Primetime story - http://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/story?id=1865418&page=1
I will try to find the FOX news story link too.
