Rigby-Bateman Family

Jo travels to Los Angeles, California to visit the Rigby-Bateman family. Angela (15, diagnosed with PTSD) and Jane (13, diagnosed with bipolar disorder) miss their parents, Tyler (47) and Persephone (44) badly. 5 years ago, Tyler was incarcerated when he punched Persephone in the eye, causing her to cut her wrists with a sharp razor in guilt. Tyler only sexually assault his wife and physically, emotionally and physiologically abuse his kids. After being put to a foster care for 5 years, they are now being raised by the Batemans. Persephone's younger sister, Betty Bateman (41), her wife Rowena Rigby (43) have 6 other children: Donnie (17), Kathy (16), Nicky (14), Blossom (12) and twins Tobias and Travis (10). While Angela and Jane are well-behaved, their cousins are not. Donnie hangs out with his 14-year-old girlfriend, Gwen and throw wild teen parties together. Donnie will drink alcohol, shoplift, joyride, smokes cigarettes and swears. Kathy spends too much time on her phone, only brings her phone to school like most teens, bully unpopular kids, goths and nerds and insult others. Nicky likes to stay up and go out past curfew, swear and backtalk. Blossom is rude and bossy towards the twins as she argues with them. Tobias and Travis play violent video games and refuse to do homework.
