He's different from the rest!

Steve Wilkos spent years on the Jerry Springer Show as one of the show's bodyguards. Besides that, he has a police background and military experience. By given his own show from Springer's producer, Steve is a lot more serious about his topics and show itself. He holds nothing back when he goes head to head against a mother who is in prison for pimping her own seven year old daughter to a undercover police detective. Steve recalls how the mother appeared clueless and delusional regarding her actions. She blames the police for interfering. Steve also talks with the police detectives on the case who were so troubled by this sexual abuse that one of the guys had to get up and take a walk. These police detectives probably Chicago were horrified by this mother's actions towards her own daughter. She thinks God will release her in 9 years but it's too late for her daughter. The damage has been done. Her daughter is probably in foster care and getting proper treatment. The mother seems troubled by being blamed and lacks no conscience for pimping her daughter. She also reveals that she allowed her five year old daughter to perform oral sex on one of the customers. The idea of this is sickening but Steve lets her have it in the same way that we want her to have it.
