April 8th, 1992. Geraldo Rivera’s namesake talk show brings us this segment of ‘Terrorized by Your Teen’, as we hear horror stories from the home.
“Michelle, for example, attacked her father Jerry with a pair of scissors, then bit a chunk out of his arm..”
After members of the audience speak about their experiences with domestic abuse, we hear the father and daughter guests on stage. Jerry and Michelle talk about why there is violence in their relationship. She feels that he doesn’t listen to her. Mom has left the home, and the sister has ran away, Dad claims that all his daughter’s friends are dirt bags keeping her out late at night.
Domestic abuse continues to be a problem in America, 30 years after filming.
This day, Geraldo’s television history.
