Okusana-Woodstick Family

Gloria Robinson visits Washington, DC to meet a Japanese-American blended family. Satoko Okusana (38) and Glenn Woodstick (40): Glenn is very selfish and is as stubborn as a mule. Glenn has divorced his normal wife four years ago. Satoko lost her first husband Takeshi in Japan last year when he had lung cancer. Glenn has three children from his previous marriage. Tyson (15) and Marie (14) swear, do drugs, fight, bite, and have been expelled from 25 schools total. There's also Veruca (12) from the UK who is spoiled and domaint. Glenn doesn't even care. From her previous marriage, Satoko had four children, one of them is deceased. Sushi (10 1/2), Yoshi (4), and Tatsuhiro (3 1/2) are well-behaved and they are huge fans of Pokemon, Shakugan no Shana, Beyblades, Digimon, Bakugan, and Supernanny: The Theory Animated. Satoko is 100% concerned about them, Glenn is 0%. Last year, Tetsu (2 weeks) died of Shaken Baby Syndrome because of Glenn. Tetsu cried and tried to get Glenn's attention when he was watching a movie. Glenn picked Tetsu up and violently shook her. Satoko and her children cannot understand or speak English. Tyson, Marie, and Veruca will tell Satoko, Sushi, Yoshi, and Tatsuhiro to SPEAK ENGLISH! Can Gloria help this family?
