Dr Phil has stunned hosts of ‘The View’ after he criticised school closures during the coronavirus pandemic.
Dr Phil spoke of the lasting effects of the lockdowns on students and how the support system for vulnerable children was removed.
“Who does that? Who takes away the support system for these children? Who takes it away and shuts it down,” he said.
Dr Phil then spoke about the further dangers children who were sexually assaulted faced when facing the possibility of being locked up with their abusers.
“And by the way, when they shut it down, they stopped the mandated reporters from being able to see children that were being abused and sexually molested and, in fact, sent them home and abandoned them to their abusers with no way to watch and referrals dropped 50% to 60%," he said.
Co-hosts of the show, Sunny Hostin and Whoopi Goldberg, pushed back on Dr Phil's comments and defended the school lockdowns.
The co-hosts then mentioned they knew people who died of COVID-19 before Dr Phil quickly shut them down by saying, “Not school children".
