Is it okay to breastfeed a toddler? Should children sleep in the same bed as their parents?

On Monday, Anderson and Co-Host Monday guest Rebecca Romijn discuss the controversial Time magazine story that sparked a national debate about attachment parenting.

The mom featured on the cover joins the conversation, along with "Big Bang Theory" star and attachment parenting advocate Mayim Bialik.

Mayim has written a new book, "Beyond the Sling: A Real-Life Guide to Raising Confident, Loving Children the Attachment Parenting Way," and answers Anderson and Rebecca's questions about the principles of the practice.

Bialik says attachment parenting is "a style of parenting that basically harkens to the way primates parent -- things like natural birth, breast feeding, sleeping safely near your child, holding your child."

Have you ever been sent a text message with a link? Be careful! Identity Theft Expert and Consultant Robert Siciliano says it could be an ID theft scam known as "smishing."

The term "smishing" refers to winning a fake prize. A link often appears in the body of an email or phone text telling you to "click here" for your prize. If you click on the infected link, it downloads malware, which compromises your device.

If you click on the infected link, the downloaded software allows a "bad guy" to remotely control your phone -- from anywhere in the world. That scammer can even use your phone to access your banking information and even monitor ambient sounds around you.



How do you avoid "smishing"? Robert says:

1) Protect your cell phone and computer with anti-malware products, such as McAfee

2) Avoid clicking on links you are not familiar with.

On "Anderson," Robert shares the top 10 identity theft scams to watch out for. Along with "smishing" another top scam is disguised phone calls

Of how she made the transition into acting, she tells Anderson that "it just kind of started happening through friends of my parents, so I didn't really choose it actively, until I was older."

Jennifer lives in New York with what she calls her "massive family" -- consisting of her 14-year-old, 8-year-old and 11-month-old baby.

Anderson exposes the shady side of the modeling industry and how easily people can are scammed into paying lots of money in hopes of making it big.

See what happened after the "Anderson" team set up hidden cameras at a fictitious casting call for young models in Midtown Manhattan.



Anderson welcomes a group of aspiring young models who allege that they were scammed by a man named Aristeo Tengco.



Sandra, a mom who has been living at the Oakwood Apartments in Burbank, Calif. for the last seven years with her 14-year-old daughter, Megan, admits she spent about $160,000 trying to launch Megan's career.



When Anderson tells Sandra he doesn't believe she is parenting, an emotional Megan, who changed her name to Presley Cash, says, "I really love my mom and my dad for letting me do my dream, and I'm so thankful for them, or I wouldn't be doing this."
