Quets to Appear on Dr. Phil Thursday

Raleigh, N.C. — The birth mother accused of kidnapping her twin toddlers from their adoptive parents in Apex is scheduled to appear on a nationally syndicated television show Thursday.

Allison Quets will appear on the Dr. Phil show, speaking from behind bars in the Franklin County jail, where she is being held on federal kidnapping charges.

Quets is charged with taking the twins in December after a weekend visit and fleeing to Canada.

She agreed to let an Apex couple adopt her twins, but later changed her mind. She maintains she was coerced into the adoption and only went along with it because she was seriously ill after giving birth.

The twins remain with their adoptive parents in Apex, but Quets continues to fight for custody in the case.

Her next court appearance is April 23.

It does not justify kidnapping.

I never said they were medical conditions. I was merely pointing out the fact that in her mental condition, she thought that what she was doing was right, while it wasn't. On the other hand, the ones that suffer from PPD that have murdered their children, also thought they were doing what was right. As Hyperemesis occurs during pregnancy, PPD was the only logical explanation on her part for what she did.

Ashen-Shugar - Hyperemesis and post partum depression are not medical conditions, they are psychiatric in nature; there is no relationship between one and the other. Hyperemesis is reported to be an extreme form of morning sickness whose treatment is not substantially different from the approach used with the common forms of morning sickness. With respect to ‘hyperemesis’ it may be a psychosomatic illness. Indeed, the NIH has said this, “Social or psychological problems may be associated with this disorder of pregnancy”.

Med He - Quets "day in court" will not be a day and it won't be about her 'deserved' visitation rights. No, her time in court will be spent trying to convince a jury that she should not be sent to prison for life for international kidnapping. Instead of talking about getting her 'babies' back, Quets should be forced into the reality of the situation - she is facing serious criminal charges that even if by chance she were able to 'beat' in the US would not make her criminal liability any less in Canada. Regaining custody is not an option - it wasn't before the kidnapping and it is even less of an option now.
