Transcript From 'GMA' Interview With Kyle

Diane Sawyer: But you have said when you look at the whole spectrum of facts, what conclusion did you come to?

Dr. Browning: At that point, there was inappropriate parenting but we didn't see a safety issue.

Diane Sawyer: I want to turn to you, Dr. Bray, because other questions have been raised about the three small kids in the house. What did you see?

Dr. Bray: Well what we saw was that the kids were being exposed to this, you know, yelling and screaming and I'm sure it affected them emotionally. But, again, it wasn't, they didn't seem to be in immediate danger in being subjected to that kind of problem there.

Diane Sawer: Dr. Papernow, what did you think?

Dr. Papernow: About what I saw?

Diane Sawyer: Yeah. Dr. Papernow: We know that good parenting, we have a ton of research that says good parenting is both kind and firm, we call it authoritative parenting, and that kind of parenting creates the best results on every measure a parent could ever want. And what we saw was authoritarian parenting, firm and hostile and not kind, and we saw kids exposed to a lot of conflict, and we know that's bad for kids.

Diane Sawyer: But I have heard you also saw things on the air that you didn't think we should have done, and I want to hear it.

Dr. Papernow: When you expose viewers to a piece of violent tape over and over again, it's traumatizing to viewers.

Diane Sawyer: Too many times?

Dr. Papernow: Too many times.

Diane Sawyer: Because that was our point, to try to get understanding through all of this, that was our number one goal. And I want to say to you, because I've heard that you have said this, I'm taking the pledge here, it won't happen again. It really, will not happen again.

Looking back at all of this, should we have done this report?

Dr. Papernow: Absolutely.

Grandmother: I think, I just want to praise Kyle for how she has handled all of this. We've dealt with it for about three days, the last three days, and she has been super.

Dr. Papernow: You are an extraordinary young woman. You were very clear about what's OK and not, and you're still very compassionate. That's extraordinary in a young woman of your age.
