Zoe: "We have 4 kids, Marie is 10½, Laura is 4, Myles and Samantha are one week."

Danny: "Marie was adopted from Korea and we went there, we knew what we could and couldn't do, she came home at the age of 1 because she was a subject of a terrorist attack by the Taliban, who didn't want women in the Korea military,  and she was the subject, her biological parents, she came with a note, it said in Korean, 'We want someone, very special to adopt our little girl, I don't care about the nationalities, I just want someone special', the first time we came back to the US from Korea, my grandfather chastised me for 'adopting a g**k'."

Zoe: "It's Laura that torments her, she bullies her, calls all kinds of slurs, calls her names, and the worse of the worst, she hates Marie with a passion and wishes she stayed in Korea."

Observation Begins
Zoe: "Laura is in time-out in her room right now."

Jo: "Why is that, Zoe?"

Zoe: "Bullying Marie and taunting her."

Naughty Pillow Technique
Marie: "Laura, can I have my Bart Simpson doll back please?"

[Laura beheads the Bart Simpson plush]

Marie: "MOO-OOOOM!"

Zoe: "What is it, Marie?"

Marie: "LAURA KILLED BART!"

Laura: "Haw-Ha!"

[Marie shows Zoe the beheaded Bart plush]

Zoe: "Laura Jane, you need to go sit on the Naughty Pillow. That was not very nice."

[Marie bawls holding her decapitated Bart doll]

'''Marie: "I just got my Bart plush for my birthday last year and my sister killed him...." '''

[Zoe puts Laura on the Naughty Pillow]

Zoe: "It was not very nice of you to destroy your sister's property. You sit here until I tell you that you can get up."

Zoe: "Laura, you do not destroy your sister's property!"

[Laura spits in her mother's face]

Jo: "She spit in your face like a camel, so use a low tone of voice, come down to her level. Watch this..."

Jo: (to Laura) "You do not spit at anybody because that behavior is unacceptable, do you understand? Now you stay on this pillow."

[Jo and Zoe leave Laura on the Naughty Pillow]

Jo talks to Marie
Jo: "I talked to Marie why she was bullied at school."

Jo: "Marie?"

Marie: "Yes, Jo-Jo?"

Jo: "Why did those people hurt you?"

Marie: "Nor-Nor-North-Ko-Ko-Korea, I am from Korea, yes, the part Kim Jong-un rules, Communism, this makes it harder, I am called "Commie" "Kim Jong-Il-ette" and my ever oh-so favourite "Kim Il-sung's great-great niece.", I'm easily targeted and bullied by Koreaboos, the ones that hate the North and like the South, I love South Korean dramas, (sniff) I only get to see my biological parents once a year, they bring me to North Korea so I can see them, they wanted someone really special to adopt me and raise me, they call me Ri Min-Li in North Korea, I know all the tourist attractions and I lead my parents in North Korea so they don't end up in a prison camp, I tell them all the rules in North Korea and what you cannot do and can do, It has very bad human rights, If a leader dies, you have to cry or it's labour, I don't mind visiting, I help my parents when we are over there to visit my parents."
