Re: Doubling Down With the Derricos

I have not watched this show, but if it is anything like the Duggars, I'll pass. Shows like this just make me sad.

@colliemom4   The Derrico boy isn't having brain surgery, he is having his skull reconstructed.

The only thing they have in common is that they have a lot of kids.  Derricos are totally different. Kids are normal fun loving kids.Smiley Happy

I just saw  a clip.  His head has major stitches front to back and across.  I cannot imagine how must pain that little guy must be in.  Those kids are so close and loving it must be painful for them too, especially his twin.  Poor little guy

Re: Doubling Down With the Derricos

What was the reason for this surgery?  I certainly hope it wasn't cosmetic.  I didn't think his head looked out of shape.  He certainly seems like a happy, loving little boy.

@tends2dogs  You can read a little more about it here. It's not cosmetic.

Recently I read an article about this family.  They have more then a few skeletons rattling around in their closets. (welfare fraud, real estate fraud, identity fraud and marriage controversy)

@lulu1  Yes. I've read things like this about both of the parents. It's typical of TLC to put someone with this type of background on tv. They claim to vet people but that's a joke.
