0:00:02 > 0:00:04BOTH: Welcome to The Dumping Ground.
0:00:04 > 0:00:05CHEERING
0:00:05 > 0:00:08SHOUTING
0:00:08 > 0:00:09Help! Help!
0:00:09 > 0:00:11It's not as bad as it sounds.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14If you're watching this, you're one of us now.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16Relax. You're going to love it here.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18You'll meet some amazing new friends...
0:00:18 > 0:00:19Ta-da!
0:00:20 > 0:00:22..get to try exciting new food...
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Wh-h-h-h-h...
0:00:24 > 0:00:27We promise it's an experience you'll never forget.
0:00:28 > 0:00:29What?
0:00:29 > 0:00:30No, no, no.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32- Brilliant.- But remember,
0:00:32 > 0:00:36This is a place where random chaos can strike at any time.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37SHOUTING
0:00:37 > 0:00:40So you have to be prepared...
0:00:40 > 0:00:43- My face!- ..for pretty much anything.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46EXPLOSION, SCREAMING
0:00:46 > 0:00:49And that's why we've made this video blog.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52- We've been through all this... - ..so you don't have to.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56On the Dumping Ground Survival Files this time,
0:00:56 > 0:00:59what it takes to be the boss -
0:00:59 > 0:01:01the problems and pitfalls of being in charge,
0:01:01 > 0:01:04and when being a leader becomes being a bully.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Today we're talking about power and leadership.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Harry, what makes a good leader?
0:01:13 > 0:01:14You do.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Thanks, but we're not talking about me.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- We're talking about the qualities that define...- Did I say it right?
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Let's look at some examples of leadership.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27First of all, let's talk about our very own leader, Mike.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30What makes him such a good head care worker?
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Right, after all the trouble we've had recently,
0:01:34 > 0:01:37today is going to be a fresh start...
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Is it because he's charismatic, like Martin Luther King?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Right! Let's move it out! Company, ho-o!
0:01:43 > 0:01:46An inspirational speaker, like Winston Churchill?
0:01:46 > 0:01:49There will be other cared-for young people there,
0:01:49 > 0:01:52so I expect all of you to be on your best behaviour this year,
0:01:52 > 0:01:57or you will all be seeing my cross face.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- A seeker of justice...- Is that mine? - ..like Mahatma Gandhi?
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Right, you put back everything that belongs to Toby. Immediately!
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Or is it...
0:02:06 > 0:02:08She ran out - I couldn't stop her. Look, I'll just go find her.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12- Something else?- Tracy, we should... Tra... You do know I'm in charge?!
0:02:12 > 0:02:14How would you describe Mike, Mo?
0:02:15 > 0:02:16He's a man.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Yeah... Anything else?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22I think he might be Irish.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28He makes you go to bed on time and eat vegetables,
0:02:28 > 0:02:31but he always gives in if you pretend to cry.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35What do you think of Mike, Tyler?
0:02:35 > 0:02:36He's all right.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Nah, he's better than all right.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42He's just...Mike.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43PFFFFFRRRRRT!
0:02:43 > 0:02:46I've seen worse. A lot worse.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Like Dennis.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Oh, Dennis was a nightmare!
0:02:52 > 0:02:56Ah, Gina, you remember Dennis - Dennis Stockle?
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Yeah, hi.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01This morning there was a fire at Burnywood.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05- A fire? Is everyone all right? What happened?- Calm down, calm down.
0:03:05 > 0:03:06They're fine. They're fine.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08We just had to move a few of the kids in here.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11And Dennis will be joining us for a while.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- Just while they sort Burnywood out.- Relax -
0:03:13 > 0:03:18I'm not here to take over. Got enough on my plate already.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Mike, would you clear out some of your stuff?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Tell me about this Dennis guy. What made him such a bad boss?
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Well, he's Dennis, isn't he? Loves power but hates people.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Cor, check out the room.
0:03:34 > 0:03:35No padlocks.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Yeah? They'll be getting some now you're here.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39We prefer to trust our young people, Dennis.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- Here, Tyler, help yourself.- Cheers. - Hoo-hoo!
0:03:42 > 0:03:46I wouldn't tell him to help himself. There speaks the voice of experience.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Let's crack on with the paperwork, shall we?
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Welcome to the world of pain that is Dennisville.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57And Dennis was only just beginning.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00All it took was some stolen money for this new care worker
0:04:00 > 0:04:03on the block to start laying down the law, Dennis-style.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07One of you has Johnny's money,
0:04:07 > 0:04:09and if it's not on my desk in the next ten minutes...
0:04:09 > 0:04:14No, no. You don't give them ten minutes to hide it somewhere else.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17We're searching your rooms! Now!
0:04:17 > 0:04:21When my savings got nicked, Dennis couldn't wait to get involved.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Now, we haven't found Johnny's money yet, so we're giving you
0:04:23 > 0:04:25one last chance before we call the police.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27That's a waste of time with no evidence.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30They won't do anything, and we get left with a load of paperwork.
0:04:30 > 0:04:37- It's only fair to Johnny.- Well, he's lost £200. There are ten kids here.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41We're taking a fiver off everyone's allowance over the next four months.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42THEY ALL COMPLAIN AT ONCE
0:04:42 > 0:04:49Find his money, keep yours. And this place is closed until further notice.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51He didn't care that I'd been robbed.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55He just wanted to act the big man and throw his weight around.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- This is NOT a prison. - Do you want to sit here?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Write your letter of resignation.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Why would I want to resign?
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Cos I'm taking over.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15So we got together, tried to fight back.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17There must be a way of standing up to him.
0:05:19 > 0:05:20Ooh.
0:05:20 > 0:05:25Council of war, is it? Come on, let's break it up.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27There's no law against them hanging out with each other.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32- There is if I say so. And isn't it time you went home?- Not yet.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35What - his social worker gave you permission to visit?
0:05:35 > 0:05:37I used to live here. Mike said it's OK.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Yeah, well, I'm his boss and I say it's not.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42You're nasty.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Hmm. And you're out.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Dennis was a bad leader. He was power-mad, cruel and corrupt.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51But Tracy got rid of him.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Which was good, because history tells us that
0:05:53 > 0:05:56when a bad leader's in charge, bad things happen.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Like what?
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Like poverty, war, famine.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- That's when people don't have enough to eat.- Like when you were in charge?- No!
0:06:07 > 0:06:08Well, yeah, but...
0:06:14 > 0:06:17I never wanted to be in charge. It just kind of happened.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21It all started when Mike went on holiday for the first time ever.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Now, no loud music, no kitchen experiments,
0:06:25 > 0:06:29and don't wind up the relief care worker, please.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31As if we would do something like that(!)
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Ha-ha-ha(!)
0:06:33 > 0:06:34# Caribbean... #
0:06:34 > 0:06:36It WAS going to be weird without him.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37# I'm going on holiday... #
0:06:37 > 0:06:39But at least we still had Gina.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I told you my metal detector weren't a waste of money.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Why - what have you found?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Well, we DID have Gina...
0:06:46 > 0:06:50until a box of unexploded grenades got dug up in the garden.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51What does this bit do?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Harry!- Harry, what are you doing?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Get down!
0:07:09 > 0:07:11EXPLOSION, SCREAMING
0:07:12 > 0:07:16And then... we were TWO care workers down.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- We need another one! - Another what?
0:07:20 > 0:07:25- Mike!- Mike's on holiday! - Yes, I know!
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- One like him.- I'll sort it.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30You just concentrate on getting better.
0:07:30 > 0:07:35And all I needed then was an earful from some shouty army guy(!)
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- It's a miracle nobody died. Fancy letting your kids play with grenades!- They weren't playing...
0:07:39 > 0:07:44- Yes, they were! That crater over there and your colleague off to hospital proves it.- But she's -
0:07:44 > 0:07:45Ready, sir!
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Right, you lot, move back.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Let's go!
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- He thought that you were a care worker.- So?
0:07:54 > 0:08:00You! Keep a tighter rein on this lot. They're obviously trouble.
0:08:00 > 0:08:05Cue Elektra's scheming mind switching to overdrive.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- Who are you calling?- The council. I need to find out what happened
0:08:08 > 0:08:10to the relief care worker and book another one.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Why do we need a relief care worker when we've got you?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14I'm not looking after you lot!
0:08:14 > 0:08:18You don't have to look after us - just pretend you're the relief care worker and send the real one away.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Are you being serious? You want to play Home Alone?
0:08:21 > 0:08:26It's better than a stranger here, ordering us about. I mean, you could really do this.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32The whole thing was Elektra's evil scheme, not mine.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35I just wanted a responsible adult to come along and take over.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Until I met Mrs Dillon.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42LOUD CHATTER AND SQUEALING
0:08:42 > 0:08:44WHISTLE BLOWS
0:08:44 > 0:08:47QUIET LAUGHTER
0:08:47 > 0:08:48MRS DILLON GASPS
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Go to your room!
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Football in the house?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05No TV for all of you for three days.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08THEY ALL COMPLAIN AT ONCE
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Make that four!
0:09:12 > 0:09:15She was a monster. And she thought she could just walk in
0:09:15 > 0:09:18and take over the place. I couldn't let that happen
0:09:18 > 0:09:21I will not tolerate bad behaviour!
0:09:21 > 0:09:25- Good thing you won't be here to witness any, then.- What do you mean?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27I'M the relief care worker. You've been double booked.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29You don't look old enough.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Yes, I... I get that's a lot.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Now, are you going to stand there and discuss my youthful appearance,
0:09:34 > 0:09:36or let me do my job?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39I'll show you out.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42'So before I knew it, I was running the Dumping Ground.'
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Hands up, everybody who wants Faith.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52I was the people's choice.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Not much of a choice. You or Mrs Dillon.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58Yeah, I know, but everyone loved me - at first.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Every day was party time and everyone was happy.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Everything's fine. There's nothing to report, really.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08So how are you getting on with the relief care worker?
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Great. Everyone loves her. Get well soon.
0:10:12 > 0:10:13DIAL TONE
0:10:13 > 0:10:15But then out of nowhere, a crisis.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Right, OK.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22What's the problem?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24We need a big shop.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26'No food...
0:10:26 > 0:10:29'and worse than that, no money to buy any more.'
0:10:30 > 0:10:35IOU £50? Tyler, 80? Frank, 70?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- Go on, just one go.- Get your own!
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- Oh, fine. I've got better things to do with my cash. BOTH:- Gorgeous!
0:10:42 > 0:10:43Look, isn't she so cute?
0:10:43 > 0:10:47- It's a panda.- Yeah, her name's Shi Shi, and I'm sponsoring her.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- To do what - a parachute jump? - Ha-ha(!)
0:10:49 > 0:10:5250 quid?! You spent 50 quid for that thing to sit on its bum
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- and eat bamboo all day? - They're endangered!
0:10:54 > 0:10:57You said you'd spent your own money on this lot.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58The petty cash IS our own money.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- With Mike and Gina gone, it belongs to us.- And who told you that?
0:11:02 > 0:11:07- We'll pay it back.- Yeah, we left notes.- Oh, I know -
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Frank, £70. Tyler, £80!
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- So that's where you got the money for them stupid cars.- Hold on,
0:11:13 > 0:11:17Carmen, cos you managed to spend 50 quid on false nails and make up.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22We have three days until Gina gets back, and we need to eat.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Properly.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26OK, maybe I should have predicted the financial crisis,
0:11:26 > 0:11:28but I was dealing with a lot at the time.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Like Elektra getting out of control.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Do you really want to get on the wrong side of me?
0:11:34 > 0:11:39- I'm not scared of YOU.- What, with no Mike and Gina about to protect you?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42All I'm saying is, whatever you're planning,
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- you better not hurt the rest of us. I'm watching you.- Get. Out!
0:11:47 > 0:11:48I was supposed to be in charge,
0:11:48 > 0:11:51but Elektra was manipulating everyone behind the scenes.
0:11:51 > 0:11:52Yeah, I'm starving!
0:11:52 > 0:11:55And things got pretty ugly once news got out that Johnny was
0:11:55 > 0:11:57hiding secret food supplies.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58How long is it going to take?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00MUFFLED: I feel bad for the others.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03They wasted their own cash - why should I bail them out?
0:12:03 > 0:12:04I knew you had more money.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06I put in ten quid. That's more than most of them.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Look, you've finished your pack. I've got more in my room.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- Share it with the others. - No, if they found out we'd got food, we'll lose everything.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Elektra got wind of Johnny's secret food stash, and suddenly
0:12:16 > 0:12:18we were living in a police state.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20It was like having Dennis back in charge,
0:12:20 > 0:12:22except with blue hair.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- You are so dead when Mike and Gina get back.- Why didn't you open the door?
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- Why are you so desperate to see me in my undies?- Where's the food?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- I don't know what you're on about. - He's lying!- Prove it.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35If you were getting changed, why are you still wearing the same clothes
0:12:35 > 0:12:36- as you was before?- Search his room.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39You can't touch my stuff. Tell them!
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- Get off the bed.- Make me.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Argh!
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Ah, told you!
0:12:50 > 0:12:54No-one gave Elektra any power. She just took it,
0:12:54 > 0:12:56and used it to punish anyone who dared stand up to her.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00- Johnny Taylor is charged with theft and fraud.- What?!
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Who agrees that we should take Johnny's money
0:13:03 > 0:13:05and spend it on food for all of us?
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Oh, come on, guys. We don't tolerate liars and cheats around here.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Aw, Harry, are you hungry?
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Do you want some food? Well, put your hand up, then!
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Seven votes. Majority rules. Come on.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32But that's not fair. Johnny's never taken from petty cash.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34He's always saved his own money.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36That makes you the one stealing, not him!
0:13:39 > 0:13:40That's Elektra for you.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43She has a way of getting into people's heads
0:13:43 > 0:13:45and making them do whatever SHE wants.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Are you happy now? Johnny's locked in his room, Tee's in pieces,
0:13:50 > 0:13:52and everyone has fallen out.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56- Don't blame me. It's democracy in action.- It's not democracy - it's you.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Well, they're so easy to manipulate. It's almost criminal.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02And once Elektra's on a roll, there's no stopping her.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Lock him in the coal bunker.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- You can't do that.- Oh, but he's going to ruin everything, so do it!
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- I'm sorry.- Yeah? Well, if that were true
0:14:09 > 0:14:12then you wouldn't listen to everything she says.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16- We've got no choice.- She's using you. She's up to something.- We know.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21That day was Elektra at her very worst.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23In my book, that's not being a leader.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25That's just being a bully.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27I didn't know you'd written a book.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30So what have we learnt so far about being the boss
0:14:30 > 0:14:33to upload into the Dumping Ground Survival Files?
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Well, as I found out, being in charge isn't easy.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42It can be tough when everyone expects you to have all the answers.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44And if you are someone who likes to be liked,
0:14:44 > 0:14:48having to make unpopular decisions can be really difficult.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50There are many different ways to go about being in charge.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53A good leader tries to be fair and thinks of others.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55A bad one is only interested in results
0:14:55 > 0:14:57and doesn't care who gets hurt along the way.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03And the worst kind uses their power in a mean way, forcing people
0:15:03 > 0:15:06to go along with what they say with threats and rough stuff.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14Yes, you can tell a good leader by the way they treat their followers.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Good leaders inspire and protect their people.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Bad leaders lock them in a coal bunker.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20As Johnny found out.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27But the tables were turned when it came to the Living History day.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33For once, Johnny got the chance to be top dog.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37So let's talk about what happened at Hidden Hall.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38Do we have to?
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Afraid so. What happened was everyone was given a role in
0:15:41 > 0:15:44an Edwardian household, and some weren't exactly overjoyed
0:15:44 > 0:15:46with the result.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49This is the worst day of my life.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Yeah, I know - me, a servant?
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Hello - do these look like servant hands?
0:15:53 > 0:15:55While Johnny got head of the household,
0:15:55 > 0:15:58although he had his doubts about it too.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00People don't always listen to me.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Then today you must make them, show everyone
0:16:03 > 0:16:04that you're in charge.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07They have to respect you, look up to you.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Are you up for that challenge?
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- I THINK so.- No "think" about it. You have to be sure.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13Milligan?
0:16:13 > 0:16:17A keen young lad with everything to prove in charge.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Your tasks for the day, my lord.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20You're my butler? Wicked.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22What could go wrong?
0:16:22 > 0:16:26I mean, um, very good, Milligan. Very good.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27Hm...
0:16:28 > 0:16:30What went wrong at Hidden Hall?
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Well, they put Johnny in charge, er...
0:16:36 > 0:16:38The real trouble started
0:16:38 > 0:16:41when Carmen decided she'd had enough of servant life...
0:16:43 > 0:16:46..and started joining in the fun upstairs.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Put your hands up.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50And that's when we realised Johnny was getting way too into
0:16:50 > 0:16:53this whole Living History thing.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54What's going on?
0:16:54 > 0:16:58Oh, it's called the Grizzly Bear. Rachel's teaching us it for later.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02- She's a servant. She can't join in. - Well, it's not up to you.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06Um, yes, it is. I'm the Earl. I'm in charge and what I say goes.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Strictly speaking, he's right.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Well, I hate being Edwardian!
0:17:16 > 0:17:18It's like he became a different person.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20He even tried to boss Elektra around.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21HIS FINGERS SNAP
0:17:36 > 0:17:37Now do mine.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43Johnny. Is it fair to say that a bit of power went to your head?
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Elektra would have done the same to me.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Maybe, but that doesn't make it right.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50You don't understand the pressure I was under!
0:17:50 > 0:17:51CHATTERING
0:17:51 > 0:17:54And one of the biggest pressures facing the Earl
0:17:54 > 0:17:57was the job of getting his son married off to a rich wife,
0:17:57 > 0:18:00which meant being able to strut your stuff Edwardian-style at the ball.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Put your hands up, like a bear.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05And Johnny's son for the day, my blogging assistant, Harry,
0:18:05 > 0:18:07wasn't exactly a natural.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Right, start again!
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Get it right, otherwise you won't get married, and I'll lose the hall.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13Is that what you want?
0:18:13 > 0:18:15It wasn't fun any more.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17I didn't like it when Johnny was in charge.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Nobody liked it.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Now, I'm the first to admit that being in charge isn't easy.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24I learnt that myself the hard way.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26But Johnny was on a personal power trip.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27And it wasn't pretty.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32JOHNNY AND HARRY LAUGH
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Why do I have to do this?
0:18:36 > 0:18:39To make my son happy. Now tap your head and rub you belly.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41No, this isn't even one of my tasks!
0:18:41 > 0:18:44It is if I say so. Do it.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- No. - Then you're fired.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48So? This isn't real anyway!
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Yeah, but it's the best job you're ever going to get.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53I've seen your school grades.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55You'll be lucky to be a cleaner when you're older.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58I don't even know why he said those things.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00He was so mean. It's just not like him.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03It was like something had got into him.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Maybe that old house was haunted.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Johnny upset Carmen.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09Why? What happened?
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Who cares? She's just a maid.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14No, she's not - she's a person, and she should have rights.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16And she's still our friend.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Not today. You don't care about her today.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20I don't want to dance with you any more.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22You have to.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Um, I don't have to do anything, and I'm not marrying Harry either.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- Why not?- Because I wouldn't want to marry someone
0:19:28 > 0:19:30with such a rubbish dad.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Doubt anyone will ever want to marry YOU, then.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Wait - what?
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Are you talking about my real life? My real dad?
0:19:37 > 0:19:41That was totally out of order. No-one talks about my dad like that,
0:19:41 > 0:19:43no matter how important they might think they are.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47- Take it back.- Don't tell me what to do.- I said take it back.- Make me.
0:19:48 > 0:19:53- No, no - stop, stop! Stop it, stop it!- This is not Edwardian.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Don't you ever say anything about my family again!
0:19:56 > 0:19:57Get out!
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Tia or Floss can marry Harry instead.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02That means I hate you!
0:20:02 > 0:20:05It's obvious that Johnny wasn't ready to be in charge.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06He couldn't control his temper,
0:20:06 > 0:20:08and that turned everyone against him.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12A true leader must practise self-control and discipline.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Otherwise, you're just a spoilt brat throwing tantrums.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21Like Jody's nightmare of a big brother, Kingsley.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25We thought she was sorted once she'd gone back to live with her family.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29We'd heard all about her smart house and the new clothes and toys.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Then, suddenly, one day she was back at the Dumping Ground.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Pay the taxi, would you, Mike?
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Something had obviously gone horribly wrong.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Something...
0:20:39 > 0:20:40or someone.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Kingsley had always been a bad boy. Somehow, he'd managed
0:20:45 > 0:20:48to convince the social services that he'd changed.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50But that was all just an act.
0:20:50 > 0:20:51I shouldn't have snapped at you, Jodes.
0:20:51 > 0:20:56It's just not easy, coming out of prison, trying to earn a living.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00We have to keep working at it. Get used to being a family again.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Does that mean I've got to go home?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05We want you to come and see us. It's just...
0:21:05 > 0:21:07This isn't your home anymore.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- But it can be, though! Carmen said that...- OK, Jody,
0:21:10 > 0:21:13let's have a little chat in the office, on our own.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Don't take too long, yeah?
0:21:15 > 0:21:18I just want you to come home now. Don't want no more fuss.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21It's OK.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25There's nothing I want to say.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Kingsley was the big brother from hell.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30But he was also the boss of the family,
0:21:30 > 0:21:33so nobody stood a chance, especially Jody.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37It's always been the same.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Mum's scared stiff of Kingsley,
0:21:40 > 0:21:42so he just tramples all over her,
0:21:42 > 0:21:44and the rest of us.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46- She's just coming. - Get her in the car, now.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48- But she's just...- In the car, now.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52- It's my old one. It's got no credit, but I can call you, OK?- Promise?
0:21:52 > 0:21:53I promise. Come here.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55It just felt wrong.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58I mean, Jody was back home, living with her family,
0:21:58 > 0:22:00and that's something we all dream of,
0:22:00 > 0:22:03so why did she act like she'd rather live in care?
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Come on, baby, don't be silly. Thank you.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Come on, in the car.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Put your belt on.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20All right?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23I wanted it to work. I really did.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26I kept hoping it might be different this time,
0:22:26 > 0:22:30that Kingsley might have calmed down a bit, or even that the others
0:22:30 > 0:22:32might stand up to him.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34But Kingsley was still in control,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37and just to show Jody he was boss, he locked her in her bedroom
0:22:37 > 0:22:41after he got it into his head that she'd been stealing from him.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- Who unlocked this door?- No-one.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47I needed the toilet!
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- One of yous idiots left the door open.- Haven't you punished her
0:22:51 > 0:22:54- enough yet?- What, for thieving my gear? Losing me money?
0:22:54 > 0:22:56She's just a kid.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58She's still got to learn. We've got to be able to trust her.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02You can. I'll be good now, I promise.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05And this is why the bedroom door was unlocked -
0:23:05 > 0:23:08me and Tyler had snuck in there just to see if she was OK.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10I promise that it won't happen again.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15PHONE BUZZES
0:23:19 > 0:23:22- You've got another phone?- Um...
0:23:22 > 0:23:24KEY TONES BLEEP
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- "Are you OK?" What does that mean? - I dunno.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31- From Tee? That girl at the kids' home? What you been saying?- Nothing.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Well, I just went over to see Jody.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36I wasn't up for a fight with the bully brothers,
0:23:36 > 0:23:38but Carmen really stood up to them.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40I just didn't think she had it in her.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44- You are really winding me up now. - No, I'm not.- How'd you open the door? - I didn't!- Liar!
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- Leave her alone!- What?
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- WE opened the door. Jody didn't do anything.- It's true.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54- So you can leave her alone now. - And we won't say anything.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Too right you won't.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59You breathe a word of this to the law or the social, or any of your
0:23:59 > 0:24:03- mates down at the kids' home, and she gets it.- Do you understand?
0:24:03 > 0:24:07The thing is with Kingsley is no-one ever says no to him,
0:24:07 > 0:24:09especially not Mum.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12So he thinks he can get away with anything.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14And he usually does.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Usually. But Kingsley was about to meet his match.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22- Where are they?- Gina!
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- Gina!- Are you all right?- Kingsley's got Jody locked in her room,
0:24:25 > 0:24:27- and it's full of stolen gear.- Right.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31- Yeah, trespassing, they were. Making stuff up.- Just save it, yeah?
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- You knew about this. - Mum, don't answer her.
0:24:33 > 0:24:39- She's got no right to be here.- You want to argue with me about rights?!
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Go, Gina!
0:24:41 > 0:24:44It's hard to challenge bullies, but it's worth it
0:24:44 > 0:24:48because sometimes, when one person fights back, others join in too,
0:24:48 > 0:24:51and suddenly the bully isn't as powerful as everyone thought.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55You said we was going to be a proper family this time.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57We can't be.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- Not while he's around.- You little...
0:25:01 > 0:25:03I'm NOT scared of you.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09I'm only here for Jody.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12As soon as she's safe, I'm gone.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Just let her go, Mum. She's better off with them.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25I miss my mum. And Luke. A bit.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27But I can't live with Kingsley.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30So the Dumping Ground is my home now.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33When the person supposed to be in charge is weak,
0:25:33 > 0:25:35bullies can take advantage.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36If Jody's mum had stood up to Kingsley,
0:25:36 > 0:25:38the Jacksons could have been a happy family.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Here you are, kid. Come here.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43That's what's so great about Mike.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45He never backs down to bullies.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47He always fights for what he believes in,
0:25:47 > 0:25:49and inspires us to do the same.
0:25:49 > 0:25:54And you may not think it, looking at him, but he is strong, inside.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57He's a good leader. And he makes us feel safe.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Until he goes on holiday again.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02So what have we learnt about being the boss
0:26:02 > 0:26:04to upload into the Survival Files?
0:26:04 > 0:26:07We've all experienced good and bad leaders,
0:26:07 > 0:26:11so if you find yourself having to be in charge, try to think about
0:26:11 > 0:26:14what was good about the good ones and bad about the bad ones.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Being in charge isn't easy, but that's no excuse
0:26:17 > 0:26:21for letting the pressure make you lose sight of everyone else.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Just because you need to get something organised,
0:26:23 > 0:26:26doesn't mean it's OK to trample over everyone else in the process.
0:26:26 > 0:26:31Fairness and being able to listen are good qualities in a leader.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35But that doesn't mean just doing stuff that makes everyone like you.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Sometimes being the boss means telling people things
0:26:37 > 0:26:40that they don't want to hear. Like "All the food money has gone,
0:26:40 > 0:26:44"so stop blowing all our cash on stupid stuff that we don't need."
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Be careful, though.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Power can be a dangerous thing
0:26:48 > 0:26:50and being top dog can do funny things to people.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54Elektra is a good example of that. She wasn't being a leader.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56She was being a bully.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59And poor Johnny took the brunt of it.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02But just because you've been a victim of someone abusing power,
0:27:02 > 0:27:04doesn't mean it's OK to try to settle scores
0:27:04 > 0:27:06if later on you find the tables turned.
0:27:06 > 0:27:11Be thoughtful. Be kind. Try to think things through,
0:27:11 > 0:27:14and don't make any snap decisions.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Stick to these simple rules and you won't go far wrong
0:27:17 > 0:27:19if find yourself having to be the boss.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23And don't forget -
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- we've been through all this... - ..so that you don't have to.
