NICWA responds to Dr. Phil's coverage of S.C. ICWA case


NICWA responds to Dr. Phil's coverage of S.C. ICWA case

On October 18, 2012, the Dr. Phil show aired an episode that focused on a disputed custody case involving an American Indian child, Veronica.

The National Indian Child Welfare Association (NICWA) is gravely disappointed in the heavy slant toward the Capobiancos’ recounting of the situation and interpretation of the legal issues in the case.
