0:00:02 > 0:00:05Around the world, many parents raise their kids on a diet of strict discipline...

0:00:05 > 0:00:09It is our responsibility as parents to be in control of the music

0:00:09 > 0:00:14that they listen to, the movies they watch and the friends they have.

0:00:14 > 0:00:16..rigid boundaries...

0:00:16 > 0:00:17'Am I friends with my children?'

0:00:17 > 0:00:21No, I'm not your friend, I'm your parent.

0:00:21 > 0:00:23..and immediate consequences.

0:00:23 > 0:00:25'My dad is really strict.'

0:00:25 > 0:00:28If you break the rules, he can be very scary.

0:00:30 > 0:00:35But can traditional parenting change the lives of rebellious British teenagers?

0:00:35 > 0:00:39I was brought here on this earth to party!

0:00:39 > 0:00:42She can be an absolute nightmare. It's awful!

0:00:42 > 0:00:46My lifestyle is playing Xbox and getting hammered.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48Whoa.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51You! I'm getting you!

0:00:51 > 0:00:56I went to anger management and got kicked out for being angry.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58No-one can tell me what to do.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01Not even the Queen of England can tell me what to do!

0:01:02 > 0:01:06He's slapped me, he's poked me, he's pushed me. He's done it all.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10I am what I am. If you don't like it, jog on.

0:01:10 > 0:01:15To find out, two teens who have never met before will leave their fraught families behind...

0:01:15 > 0:01:19- Maybe she'll come back home and be nice.- Doubt it.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21..and head off to the far corners of the world,

0:01:21 > 0:01:26where they will live according to strict rules imposed by new parents.

0:01:26 > 0:01:30You are not in the UK. You are in Barbados.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33They are the most awful people I've ever met in my whole life.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36If she wants to throw a hissy fit, she can have her hissy fit.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40I'm going home, bruv.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42What are you going to do? That's what I thought.

0:01:42 > 0:01:46This is our rule. If you're going to cop an attitude about it, forget it.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49- What's the point? What's the point? - The point is a matter of trust!

0:01:49 > 0:01:52If this is how they are, I'm sorry for Britain.

0:02:06 > 0:02:11You don't show this household and the people in this house respect. It's true.

0:02:11 > 0:02:1616-year-old Eden Lelliott Moore is an angry young man.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18And one person bears the brunt of it.

0:02:18 > 0:02:22I've been called a (BLEEP) whore, a bitch.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25A spastic, that was the latest one.

0:02:25 > 0:02:29He's done it all, he's slapped me, he's poked me, he's pushed me.

0:02:29 > 0:02:30Yeah.

0:02:32 > 0:02:39The only person that makes me lose my temper is my mum. We fall out over the smallest of things.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42It just escalates and gets bigger and bigger. It gets physical.

0:02:42 > 0:02:46I shouldn't have to deal with physical confrontations,

0:02:46 > 0:02:49and that's quite intimidating, when you come up to me.

0:02:49 > 0:02:54- It ain't going to change nothing. - Your actions need to change. - They don't.

0:02:54 > 0:02:59They do, because it's unacceptable in this house and in society. HE IMITATES HER

0:03:00 > 0:03:04Eden's mum and dad separated shortly after he was born.

0:03:04 > 0:03:08Not knowing your dad for 16 years is an absolute killer.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

0:03:10 > 0:03:17Nine years ago, Zoe married her new partner, Rusty, and had Eden's half-sister, Jenna.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19I feel like I'm the odd one out.

0:03:19 > 0:03:25Especially because I'm mixed-race and they're all white, so it's hard to relate and get on with them.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28Are you hungry, Ede?

0:03:28 > 0:03:30Yeah?

0:03:30 > 0:03:32- Ede.- I'm coming!

0:03:32 > 0:03:36'His behaviour has a massive effect on the family.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40'It causes frictions between me and my husband.

0:03:40 > 0:03:45'Some of his behaviour is unacceptable in front of our little girl.'

0:03:45 > 0:03:48Thanks, guys. Yeah, thank you(!)

0:03:52 > 0:03:54I am wary of him because he's a bigger boy now.

0:03:54 > 0:03:59And he did get the better of me in our physical confrontations, naturally.

0:04:02 > 0:04:08I think if Ede can't find a way of dealing with his anger,

0:04:08 > 0:04:11I am worried that, if he can do it to his mum,

0:04:11 > 0:04:14what's stopping him from doing it to anybody, really?

0:04:17 > 0:04:21Can you set the table, please, because we're going to have tea in a minute.

0:04:21 > 0:04:25What's the point in setting it now? It's not even ready.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28I don't ask you to do a lot. Can you please...

0:04:28 > 0:04:30- You don't ask me to do a lot? You do!- No, I don't.

0:04:30 > 0:04:35Over in Cheshire, 18-year-old Anastasia Jones thinks she's a little princess.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38'She can be an absolute nightmare.'

0:04:38 > 0:04:41She can be very stroppy, very disrespectful.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43'It's awful.'

0:04:43 > 0:04:48If I want her to do something for me, she should do, because she brought me into this world.

0:04:48 > 0:04:52- Are you going to help set the table now?- No!- It's nearly ready.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55It's not nearly ready! You just told me it's going to be half an hour!

0:04:55 > 0:04:58You're like a little kid, stop repeating yourself!

0:04:58 > 0:05:06People sometimes relate me to Paris Hilton, not looks wise, but the way she's so self-absorbed.

0:05:06 > 0:05:14After GCSEs, Anastasia followed her childhood dream to study drama, but is now failing the course.

0:05:14 > 0:05:18We argue about me not going to college and she feels like if I don't go

0:05:18 > 0:05:21then that's her money being wasted, and I can see her point of view.

0:05:21 > 0:05:27But if I don't enjoy something and I don't want to go, it's my life and I shouldn't have to go.

0:05:27 > 0:05:31And there's no chance of Anastasia's dad putting his foot down.

0:05:31 > 0:05:35At the end of the day, as long as she's happy, I'm happy.

0:05:35 > 0:05:39You've heard the expression "daddy's little girl". That's exactly what I am.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43Oh, my God.

0:05:43 > 0:05:48Instead of studying, Anastasia goes out partying with a good-time crowd.

0:05:49 > 0:05:55I hate weekends. I really hate them, because I know she's going to go AWOL.

0:06:00 > 0:06:08'My mum personally would like me to go with kind of a preppy kind of boy, somebody with an education.'

0:06:08 > 0:06:13I don't think that's right at all because I don't like good boys. I'm not attracted to them.

0:06:13 > 0:06:17She's definitely at a crossroads now and she could easily go down the wrong road.

0:06:20 > 0:06:24I become tearful. You know, it's upsetting, because I love her and I want the best for her.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26I do.

0:06:32 > 0:06:36In order to teach their selfish teenagers to consider other people,

0:06:36 > 0:06:41both families have agreed to send them to live with new parents on the other side of the world.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43See you later.

0:06:44 > 0:06:49I hope you really have a good experience, and when you come back,

0:06:49 > 0:06:53- come back with a big smile on your face, yeah?- Yeah.- All right, honey?

0:06:53 > 0:06:55- Yeah.- I love you.

0:06:55 > 0:06:56OK, yes.

0:06:58 > 0:07:03I hope Ede will come back with just a real insight into what he has got.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05A real sort of acceptance.

0:07:05 > 0:07:09I don't want to grow distant from him. I want to grow...

0:07:09 > 0:07:11You know, I want us to be as close as we possibly can.

0:07:11 > 0:07:15- Have a lovely time and be good. - I will.

0:07:15 > 0:07:18- I'll miss you. Bye-bye.- Bye.

0:07:18 > 0:07:23My worst fear would be... just embarrassing herself.

0:07:23 > 0:07:29Spoilt, and...having temper tantrums and that sort of thing. I wouldn't like her to behave like that.

0:07:31 > 0:07:35- Hi, are you OK?- Yeah, fine. You? - What's your name?- Eden.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Anastasia, nice to meet you, darling.- Nice to meet you.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41- Are you all right?- Yeah, I'm good. - Nervous?- No, not really, are you?

0:07:41 > 0:07:45- Yeah!- Are you?- Yeah.- Ahh.

0:07:52 > 0:07:57For the next 10 days, the two teenagers' new home will be here -

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Astatula, Florida.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06They'll be staying with the Armstrongs,

0:08:06 > 0:08:13a deeply religious family who believe that total control is the key to successful parenting.

0:08:13 > 0:08:18Obedience is one of the most important things that we are training them to understand.

0:08:18 > 0:08:22We want to raise them in love and discipline.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24And that's our parent philosophy.

0:08:28 > 0:08:32The Armstrong family earn a living from professional modelling.

0:08:35 > 0:08:39Dad Linzey and mum Jeanie preside over four children.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42Linzey IV,

0:08:42 > 0:08:44Austin and Dylan,

0:08:44 > 0:08:46and daughter Elizabeth.

0:08:48 > 0:08:53'We feel it's our responsibility as parents to be in control of the music they listen to,'

0:08:53 > 0:08:56the movies they watch and the friends they have.

0:08:58 > 0:09:03Hard work is a cornerstone of the Armstrong family values.

0:09:03 > 0:09:07We have trained our children to work from the time they were little.

0:09:07 > 0:09:12'One of the things I feel is effective is making a list of the chores in the morning.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15'I'll make a list for the children and a list for my wife.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18'It gives them a guideline on what is expected of them for the day.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21'My oldest daughter absolutely loves it.'

0:09:21 > 0:09:24She says, "Dad, I'd rather have a list."

0:09:24 > 0:09:27It's important to be obedient.

0:09:27 > 0:09:32With my parents you... (have to be obedient.)

0:09:35 > 0:09:42After an eight-hour flight, Anastasia and Eden touch down in Orlando, Florida.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44You're going to have to help me.

0:09:51 > 0:09:56Orlando is home to the world's largest holiday resort.

0:09:57 > 0:10:02Over one million British people come here every year for a taste of the happiest place on earth.

0:10:04 > 0:10:08I would much rather be going to Disneyland, to be honest with you!

0:10:10 > 0:10:13Where they are headed, 30 miles away, is no theme park.

0:10:27 > 0:10:34The Armstrongs live deep in the heart of Florida's Lake County on a secluded 10-acre property.

0:10:36 > 0:10:40We're in the middle of nowhere. We're in a swamp.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49I feel like I'm in Jurassic Park!

0:10:56 > 0:10:59They're coming, finally.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07Oh, my God!

0:11:09 > 0:11:12- Hello.- Hi.- How are you doing?

0:11:12 > 0:11:15- I'm fine. I'm Anastasia.- Mr Linzey.

0:11:15 > 0:11:17- What's your name, sorry?- Excuse me?

0:11:17 > 0:11:19- What's your name, sorry?- Mr Linzey.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22- Mr Linzey.- Jeannie. How are you?

0:11:22 > 0:11:24- I'm Eden.- How you doing, man?

0:11:24 > 0:11:27How was your trip? Was it long?

0:11:27 > 0:11:29- My name's Jeannie, nice to meet you. - Eden.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33I am going to tell you something really quick.

0:11:33 > 0:11:37I've seen bears, cougars. There are some poisonous snakes.

0:11:37 > 0:11:41- No, there's not!- It's best to stay within the perimeter of the fence.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44Guys, come and meet my kids.

0:11:44 > 0:11:50From now on, Anastasia and Eden will be living exactly as the Armstrong children do.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53From daily chores to daily worship.

0:11:53 > 0:11:57- Hi, I'm Linzey.- This is Anastasia.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59- Hi, nice to meet you.- This is Dylan.

0:11:59 > 0:12:00Austin.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06- Nice to meet you.- This is our front room.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08This is the living room.

0:12:08 > 0:12:12This is where we have devotions and we laugh and talk and play.

0:12:12 > 0:12:13Our music.

0:12:15 > 0:12:20Turn left, and this is your home for the week.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24If you want to go ahead and get settled a little bit, go ahead.

0:12:24 > 0:12:25Your room.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28- It is gorgeous.- Thank you.

0:12:28 > 0:12:31So, if you need something, just let us know.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34OK, thanks.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41The mum seems nice but I'm pretty scared of the dad.

0:12:41 > 0:12:44I didn't know how to address him or anything.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46Mr Linzey. Mr Linzey?

0:12:46 > 0:12:47- Why do they use that name?

0:12:47 > 0:12:51I'm a bit anxious now. A bit worried.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53Not what I expected.

0:12:53 > 0:12:59The Armstrongs seem quite nice but maybe too nice. So... just have to see.

0:12:59 > 0:13:03- I have a good feeling that they're neat kids.- He feels like my son.

0:13:03 > 0:13:04As soon as I saw him.

0:13:04 > 0:13:08I just wanted to hug him. I hugged him a little bit.

0:13:08 > 0:13:13He just... It's just like we connected.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15Eden? Anastasia?

0:13:15 > 0:13:20Linzey and Jeannie believe in protecting their children from corrupt outside influences.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23We're going to go ahead and go over our house rules.

0:13:23 > 0:13:29So, before the teens join the family they must sign up to the Armstrongs' clean-living lifestyle.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32We have spent...

0:13:32 > 0:13:3520 years...

0:13:35 > 0:13:37building this family.

0:13:37 > 0:13:44It took certain rules, regulations, discipline and we have to look at this

0:13:44 > 0:13:48like you are our kids. For the week.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50So, I'm going to love you,

0:13:50 > 0:13:54discipline you and make you work.

0:13:54 > 0:13:55Just like our kids. OK?

0:13:55 > 0:13:58- OK.- Excellent.

0:13:58 > 0:14:06I know it's going to be different for you. It's kind of odd having a paper full of rules.

0:14:06 > 0:14:09So let me go ahead and just drop a little miniature bomb.

0:14:09 > 0:14:14I don't let my children raise their voice at me. You can't raise your voice or sass back.

0:14:14 > 0:14:19It comes out when you say "I really don't want to do this" versus "I don't want to do this".

0:14:19 > 0:14:21It's like, OK, we have a problem.

0:14:21 > 0:14:27- Is that clear?- In our home we only listen to Christian music basically.

0:14:27 > 0:14:34We're just careful that the kids aren't listening to stuff with cuss words and immoral content.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37So the next one is about clothing.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39And I've taught my daughter this.

0:14:39 > 0:14:43No low shirts. Short shorts.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46Or bikinis unless they're worn under your clothes.

0:14:46 > 0:14:50My wife would be the gauge for you so she may glance at you and then you guys discuss it.

0:14:50 > 0:14:55So I'll just have to help you with that. We'll kind of talk about that.

0:14:58 > 0:15:03The rules are a bit weird, different, very extreme.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06They're really pretty much the most controlling people I've ever met.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08And I thought my mum was controlling.

0:15:08 > 0:15:13They can tell me what to wear but at the end of the day I'm not their daughter,

0:15:13 > 0:15:16and they can't stop me from wearing it.

0:15:17 > 0:15:21So, what are they going to do - give me a binbag to wear all week?

0:15:21 > 0:15:26Sometimes when we show more of our bodies than we should,

0:15:26 > 0:15:32there's wrong thoughts that come up in our minds and we just want to prevent that.

0:15:32 > 0:15:37We want to make everybody in the household as comfortable as possible all week.

0:15:42 > 0:15:47While Jeanie heads off to the shops in search of some decent clothes,

0:15:47 > 0:15:52the Armstrong kids have a chance to get to know their new siblings.

0:15:52 > 0:15:57I like them because they're cool with their accents.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00I never really heard something like that before. It's really cool.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07It's not just rock and roll that's forbidden.

0:16:07 > 0:16:13TV is also completely banned, so the kids have to create their own entertainment.

0:16:13 > 0:16:18So you start off with two packs of cards and then just one person who deals it to their left.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21Do you grab a potato as soon as somebody gets a four?

0:16:21 > 0:16:23Yes. Are you ready?

0:16:23 > 0:16:26Do you know what, I'm raring to go!

0:16:28 > 0:16:31Oh, I don't like this game.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37Brilliant.

0:16:41 > 0:16:45Earlier, Jeanie noticed a breach of the female dress code.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47- Anna!- Yes.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49Can I talk to you for a second?

0:16:49 > 0:16:54Anastasia's about to get a taste of the latest fashion from the House of Armstrong.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57I've got to tell you something.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59OK.

0:16:59 > 0:17:02- You're going to be curious.- You bet.

0:17:02 > 0:17:05I'm going to put you on the spot.

0:17:05 > 0:17:06Take a seat.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08Can I have a talk with you?

0:17:11 > 0:17:16OK. Well, I do want to talk about the clothes thing.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19If you sit down, I don't want anybody to be able to see your underwear.

0:17:19 > 0:17:22I just need it to be modest enough.

0:17:22 > 0:17:27I want to show you the things I've got for you.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30That looks like what an eight-year-old would wear.

0:17:30 > 0:17:35- Really?- I would never wear that, it would make me feel like a boy. - Really?- I would never wear that.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39Come on, it can look pretty good.

0:17:41 > 0:17:43Come on, look at this!

0:17:43 > 0:17:47- Da da!- I don't really like the stripes at the top.

0:17:47 > 0:17:52Really? I know this is plain but picture yourself out working.

0:17:52 > 0:17:56I hate that material. I really don't want to wear any of your clothes.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58This is not cleavage at all.

0:17:58 > 0:17:59They're just showing a little bit.

0:17:59 > 0:18:06It wouldn't be good for my kids to see, "Oh, mum's bending so much on rules."

0:18:06 > 0:18:09This is not low and I'm not changing.

0:18:09 > 0:18:13- It will feel so much better just to yield.- I'm not going back downstairs.

0:18:17 > 0:18:24I think there's maybe been power struggles at home where she's been used to winning

0:18:24 > 0:18:29and not - definitely I would assume - not submitting to parental authority.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35It kind of breaks my heart that

0:18:35 > 0:18:39we were going to be together as a family with her,

0:18:39 > 0:18:45but I really felt it was important to stick to the simple things I've asked.

0:18:45 > 0:18:50It's important to me not to bend on any rules I strongly believe in.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52I'm not changing myself.

0:18:53 > 0:18:58Like, the whole purpose of being here is to change the way you act, not to change you.

0:18:58 > 0:19:00It's just like mental.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11It's Monday morning.

0:19:14 > 0:19:18It's time to get up, OK?

0:19:18 > 0:19:20Could you be down in about five?

0:19:20 > 0:19:22OK?

0:19:23 > 0:19:28Anastasia's already been up for hours going through her clothes.

0:19:28 > 0:19:34She won't be welcomed back into the bosom of the family until she covers hers.

0:19:34 > 0:19:37This top isn't too low cut and high -

0:19:37 > 0:19:41it's quite high. If she has a problem with it then...

0:19:43 > 0:19:44..there's nothing I can do about it.

0:19:47 > 0:19:52In the Armstrong household, children are expected to help out, starting with breakfast.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00- Oh, my Lord! - Let me ask you something?

0:20:00 > 0:20:03- Do you have any brothers and sisters? - Yeah, I have a little brother.

0:20:03 > 0:20:05I can't believe I haven't asked you that. How old is he?

0:20:05 > 0:20:06- He's 13.- He's 13.

0:20:06 > 0:20:11Do you guys like both take turns cooking?

0:20:11 > 0:20:13No, we don't take turns.

0:20:13 > 0:20:16So, your mum does all the cooking?

0:20:16 > 0:20:18Yes.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20What about washing clothes?

0:20:20 > 0:20:23Yeah, my mum washes clothes.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25Your mum washes the clothes?

0:20:27 > 0:20:31Your mum can actually say, "Anna, would you make lunch or...?"

0:20:31 > 0:20:34- You feel comfortable just looking at her and telling her, "No."- Yeah.

0:20:34 > 0:20:38Do you really feel good in your heart when you just tell her no like that?

0:20:38 > 0:20:40It doesn't really bother me.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42- It doesn't bother you?- Yeah.

0:20:44 > 0:20:48All right. Everybody ready? This looks very good, girls.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50Excellent. Let's do this before it gets cold.

0:20:50 > 0:20:53Mealtimes are a chance for the Armstrong family to come together

0:20:53 > 0:20:58and talk - something Eden's not used to.

0:20:58 > 0:21:01So, do you all eat together?

0:21:01 > 0:21:04Dinner's a bit manic at our house.

0:21:04 > 0:21:09Everyone eats different things. Most of the time I'll eat what there is.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11We all go our separate ways.

0:21:11 > 0:21:13How's your relationship with your mum?

0:21:13 > 0:21:15One day it can be really good,

0:21:15 > 0:21:17another it can be really bad.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20We argue a lot as well.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23I try to get away from home.

0:21:23 > 0:21:25It's a really hostile environment.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27Do you guys argue when you eat?

0:21:27 > 0:21:31- Sometimes. We don't even talk normally.- You don't even talk?- No.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34Why, because there's so much tension?

0:21:34 > 0:21:37Yeah, usually.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40So, is that one of the reasons why you came here?

0:21:40 > 0:21:43Thinking it would be nice to get away from that for a while...

0:21:43 > 0:21:48Yeah, just get away from it. Bit of a break.

0:21:48 > 0:21:54I was just asking Anna, like your mum asks you to do something, she just says you could look

0:21:54 > 0:21:58at her right now and say, "No," and you're comfortable with that?

0:21:58 > 0:22:00Yeah, I'm used to it.

0:22:00 > 0:22:04When you walk away like in the other room when you're quiet, do you really

0:22:04 > 0:22:08feel like, yes, this is OK - that I look at my mother that raised me,

0:22:08 > 0:22:12loves me and provides for me - you really feel like that's OK to say no?

0:22:12 > 0:22:14Mmm.

0:22:18 > 0:22:21Hard work is at the core of the Armstrong family values

0:22:21 > 0:22:26and Linzey wants to get the team started as soon as possible.

0:22:26 > 0:22:31In this family, helping others is something that is really important,

0:22:31 > 0:22:37and I'm going to take them to a special place where they get a chance to experience that opportunity.

0:22:48 > 0:22:51- I'm going over there.- What is it?

0:22:51 > 0:22:53Something to do with kids.

0:22:53 > 0:22:55Yay(!)

0:22:56 > 0:23:01- Oh! It's not a charity shop?- Ugh.

0:23:08 > 0:23:16This charity shop raises almost £16,000 a month for one of Orlando's largest children's homes,

0:23:17 > 0:23:23but with only two full-time staff, manager Debbie needs all the help she can get.

0:23:23 > 0:23:24We have lots of volunteers here

0:23:24 > 0:23:27that come to do their service at the thrift store.

0:23:27 > 0:23:30We sort clothes, hang clothes, do a little bit of everything here,

0:23:30 > 0:23:31plus the upkeep of the store.

0:23:31 > 0:23:37If the kids that come here behave badly, I have sent them home on occasion.

0:23:37 > 0:23:40- This is Anna.- Hi, Anna.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42Do you like to be called Anna?

0:23:42 > 0:23:44- Whatever!- OK. - This is Eden.

0:23:44 > 0:23:47- Hi, Eden. It's nice to meet you. - Just for the week.

0:23:47 > 0:23:52OK, good. Debbie will be in charge of you and one of the main things is obedience.

0:23:52 > 0:23:54OK. Give me a hug and I'll see you.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58All right. See you guys later.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00- Do good.- OK. - All right.

0:24:00 > 0:24:02- They will.- Excellent!

0:24:02 > 0:24:06OK. Anastasia, I think what I'm going to have you do today

0:24:09 > 0:24:11is do the windows on the outside.

0:24:11 > 0:24:14Do you know how to do windows?

0:24:14 > 0:24:15- No.- No.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17OK, then we'll teach you.

0:24:19 > 0:24:23Do you want to just start down here at the very end?

0:24:23 > 0:24:26Just put this part in here.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28Just start up at the top

0:24:28 > 0:24:32and I would do maybe sections at a time

0:24:32 > 0:24:36then just go over it with the other side, like this. OK?

0:24:39 > 0:24:42What I'm going to have you do is just take

0:24:42 > 0:24:46one of these trash cans on rollers and go around the parking lot.

0:24:46 > 0:24:50If you'd just sweep it up and throw it in the trash for me.

0:24:55 > 0:24:59For someone who takes such pride in their appearance,

0:24:59 > 0:25:02picking up rubbish doesn't appeal.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11I'm on window number one and there's about 20 left.

0:25:16 > 0:25:20Cheshire's answer to Lindsay Lohan wasn't born to clean windows.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26The windows are streaking.

0:25:26 > 0:25:28It's from the water - the excess water in there.

0:25:28 > 0:25:32I can't reach it and I don't know how to do it. I'm not a window cleaner.

0:25:32 > 0:25:35See what I'm saying! Just those few sm...

0:25:35 > 0:25:39You could just spray a little bit of Windex on it and just wipe it down with the towel.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42It won't be that hard to do. OK? OK.

0:25:44 > 0:25:49Out back, Eden's reached his own conclusions about working at the thrift store.

0:25:49 > 0:25:54This is a complete waste of time - it's only going to get dirty again.

0:25:54 > 0:26:00I just want to be sitting getting a tan. In this weather, I'm not sweating, I'm not picking up rubbish.

0:26:02 > 0:26:05Eden, are you finished?

0:26:05 > 0:26:07It's too hot.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09I know, it's very hot

0:26:09 > 0:26:13but I've done the same thing you're doing lots of times.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15- It only gets dirty again.- Pardon me?

0:26:15 > 0:26:18It's only going to get dirty again.

0:26:18 > 0:26:22I know. It's not an easy job to do but we have to do it.

0:26:30 > 0:26:34Anastasia decides she's donated more than enough of her time for one day.

0:26:39 > 0:26:42I've finished the windows now, they're done.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45Did you do the ones on the side yet?

0:26:45 > 0:26:50No. I can't be bothered doing any more. I've just done loads and I thought that was it.

0:26:50 > 0:26:54Well, if you just finish up over there and then that way you'll be inside.

0:26:54 > 0:26:57- After that you can do the ones on the inside.- No, I don't want to.

0:26:57 > 0:27:01I'm not doing any more windows. I can't do any more windows.

0:27:01 > 0:27:04Honey, I know you don't want to but that's part of the job.

0:27:04 > 0:27:07It's not a job, is it? I'm not getting paid for it.

0:27:07 > 0:27:11Well, I know but I hope you're learning something from this experience.

0:27:11 > 0:27:14I am and I've learned that I don't want to do any more.

0:27:15 > 0:27:18Well, I guess if you don't want to do any more windows,

0:27:18 > 0:27:21you're probably finished.

0:27:21 > 0:27:22Right.

0:27:22 > 0:27:26Do you want me to call Mr Armstrong?

0:27:26 > 0:27:29Do you want me to call him and have him come and get you?

0:27:29 > 0:27:32- I don't want to do any more here. - OK, that's fine.

0:27:35 > 0:27:37- 'Hello.'- Hi, Mr Armstrong.

0:27:37 > 0:27:40- This is Debbie at the Edgeware Children's Ranch.- 'Hey, Debbie!'

0:27:40 > 0:27:46I have a little problem. I was wondering if you might be able to come and pick Anastasia and Eden up.

0:27:46 > 0:27:50- 'Both up?'- Yes. I think it's probably best if they go ahead and leave.

0:27:59 > 0:28:00What happened?

0:28:03 > 0:28:05I didn't do nothing wrong.

0:28:05 > 0:28:08- All I said was it's too hot.- I want to be like given a different task.

0:28:08 > 0:28:10I just don't want to work on the windows.

0:28:10 > 0:28:16The problem is, when you get a job, anything in life, you're going to do things you don't want to do.

0:28:16 > 0:28:17So, let me ask you something.

0:28:17 > 0:28:19Can you finish this task today?

0:28:19 > 0:28:22If she lets us stay?

0:28:22 > 0:28:24Hot or not, will you still do it?

0:28:24 > 0:28:26Yes, I'll do it.

0:28:26 > 0:28:29- Anna, this is a tough one. - I don't want to go back.

0:28:29 > 0:28:32She's taken advantage of the fact that she's had

0:28:32 > 0:28:35two of volunteers who know they haven't had no choice in the matter.

0:28:35 > 0:28:38And she's got me on a job that maybe somebody else doesn't want to do.

0:28:38 > 0:28:41I don't want to stand here all day doing windows.

0:28:41 > 0:28:44It's not about the windows.

0:28:44 > 0:28:47It's about you doing what someone ask you to do and you don't want to.

0:28:47 > 0:28:50This is where you have to push through.

0:28:50 > 0:28:52All you have to do is say "no"

0:28:52 > 0:28:54to that self that says, "I don't want to."

0:28:54 > 0:28:57Say, "Yes, I will do the inside windows."

0:28:57 > 0:28:59That will be the reward.

0:28:59 > 0:29:02This work she has here is really important.

0:29:02 > 0:29:05Do you know what they do here?

0:29:05 > 0:29:09It funds kids. This is really embarrassing.

0:29:09 > 0:29:12- I know it is.- This is huge.

0:29:16 > 0:29:20The Armstrongs believe hard work is good for the soul,

0:29:20 > 0:29:24so Linzey decides who will become the teenagers' new boss.

0:29:29 > 0:29:32With ten acres of land, there's plenty to be done.

0:29:32 > 0:29:34Eden, are you ready?

0:29:34 > 0:29:38So the teens must fall in with Linzey's troops.

0:29:38 > 0:29:40This is where it gets tough. We've got a lot to do.

0:29:40 > 0:29:46I'd really love to take you back to this field and get everything done.

0:29:50 > 0:29:54My goal is to try to finish all of this by the end of the day, but ultimately they're going to feel that

0:29:54 > 0:30:00good feeling, that now they've seen it done, but what hard work and the reward you get when you work hard.

0:30:00 > 0:30:01Especially when you're not used to it.

0:30:01 > 0:30:04All this has to be raked.

0:30:04 > 0:30:06It's got to be raked like this.

0:30:06 > 0:30:10Get it in a pile. Right, thanks.

0:30:10 > 0:30:16For Eden, image is everything, and he doesn't want dirty leaves on his outfit.

0:30:16 > 0:30:18I ain't picking up these leaves.

0:30:18 > 0:30:22Just rake it right on there. Right along there.

0:30:22 > 0:30:23I ain't going to pick them up.

0:30:23 > 0:30:25I won't pick them up because they're filthy.

0:30:29 > 0:30:30Eden, come on, son.

0:30:30 > 0:30:38Linzey never takes no for an answer, and Eden's backchat will not be tolerated.

0:30:38 > 0:30:41When you looked at me and you said,

0:30:41 > 0:30:45"I'm not going to pick it up, or, I don't want pick it up, or something snapped in you a little bit.

0:30:45 > 0:30:48I just don't want to pick it up in my hands. It's filthy.

0:30:48 > 0:30:52- It was snappy. I'm not used to that. - I don't want to do it.

0:30:54 > 0:30:57If I had asked you to pick it up with your hands, you'd have got mad at me?

0:30:57 > 0:31:01I wouldn't have done it. I wouldn't have done it if I had to pick it up with my hands.

0:31:01 > 0:31:06Is it like that at home? And your mum just said, "I need you to pick this up with your hands,"

0:31:06 > 0:31:09- you'd just say, "No, I don't want to?"- Yeah,

0:31:09 > 0:31:12I would go back to my room and walk out.

0:31:12 > 0:31:18That's one of the major issues, is that you have to learn to do what you're told.

0:31:18 > 0:31:21Whether you feel like it or not.

0:31:21 > 0:31:24Let's do it. We'll get you started out here.

0:31:24 > 0:31:30Linzey has defused the tension and Eden reluctantly goes back to work.

0:31:30 > 0:31:32He's mad about something.

0:31:32 > 0:31:35Something is really bothering him.

0:31:35 > 0:31:37When you push him too far...

0:31:37 > 0:31:41He's just flat-out not going to do it. He's convinced himself.

0:31:41 > 0:31:43It's rebellion.

0:31:43 > 0:31:45I wouldn't think of talking to my parents like that.

0:31:45 > 0:31:48It's too disrespectful. I would

0:31:48 > 0:31:52probably not be here if I did!

0:31:52 > 0:31:54They would just be like, "Leave!"

0:32:02 > 0:32:05All right, let's do this thing.

0:32:05 > 0:32:12At home, Anastasia doesn't lift a finger, but now she has a new father to answer to.

0:32:12 > 0:32:14This is going to be painted. You don't have to go down to

0:32:14 > 0:32:16the dirt, but come down to this line right here.

0:32:16 > 0:32:18Let's go all the way down to the end.

0:32:18 > 0:32:20I don't want to feel like I've got to do it.

0:32:20 > 0:32:23You better get started.

0:32:23 > 0:32:24OK?

0:32:27 > 0:32:29All right?

0:32:29 > 0:32:31Whoa!

0:32:33 > 0:32:38Sitting comfortably on the lawnmower, manual labour doesn't seem so arduous.

0:32:43 > 0:32:44This is taking forever.

0:32:49 > 0:32:51I want to go on the lawnmower.

0:32:54 > 0:32:59This just seems lonely and...boring.

0:33:01 > 0:33:05Anastasia's had enough and abandons her post.

0:33:07 > 0:33:13The fence got boring so I walked off because

0:33:13 > 0:33:16I just don't see the point in...

0:33:16 > 0:33:20Having to do something that you don't want to.

0:33:20 > 0:33:23It was going on pretty good,

0:33:23 > 0:33:26but then she decided that she wasn't going to paint the fence.

0:33:26 > 0:33:32So I'm not sure how we're going to deal with it but,

0:33:32 > 0:33:35hopefully, everything turns out OK.

0:33:39 > 0:33:43I really need you to come down. We need to talk.

0:33:43 > 0:33:47We really need to talk. This is really important.

0:33:47 > 0:33:54The day's almost over and there are leaves to be raked, grass to be mown and the fence to be painted.

0:33:54 > 0:33:57Linzey's determined to get things back on track.

0:33:57 > 0:34:00In our home,

0:34:00 > 0:34:04if one of my children is saying, "No, I'm not,"

0:34:04 > 0:34:07to me, I have a huge problem I have to deal with.

0:34:07 > 0:34:11You have to be trained and taught how to respond.

0:34:11 > 0:34:15Dogs get trained, animals get trained, not children.

0:34:15 > 0:34:19So if I ask you to do the rest of the fence, you're going to say no again?

0:34:19 > 0:34:21I don't want to do it.

0:34:21 > 0:34:23I really don't think this is about the fence.

0:34:23 > 0:34:26It is about the fence. I don't want to paint a fence any more.

0:34:26 > 0:34:28Stop saying it's not about it because it is.

0:34:28 > 0:34:31It's a fence and I don't want to paint it any more. It's annoying me.

0:34:31 > 0:34:35- I need you to paint the fence. - I know you do but I don't want to.

0:34:35 > 0:34:38Well, then you're not listening.

0:34:38 > 0:34:40What are you doing? You're not even doing anything!

0:34:40 > 0:34:42You go paint the fence!

0:34:42 > 0:34:43I don't want to do it any more.

0:34:43 > 0:34:46So you're saying no to me again?

0:34:46 > 0:34:48Yes. I don't want to do it any more.

0:34:48 > 0:34:50Twice in one day?

0:34:50 > 0:34:53I don't want to do it any more. I don't want to talk to you any more.

0:35:00 > 0:35:01Do you know what's really annoying me the most?

0:35:01 > 0:35:04He's not doing anything. What's he doing?

0:35:04 > 0:35:06He should have to do chores as well.

0:35:06 > 0:35:13He should have to paint fences, cut grass. He hasn't even got a list for himself.

0:35:13 > 0:35:18You only live once, so why should you have to do something that somebody else wants you to do?

0:35:18 > 0:35:25It seems to me she's used to overriding authority.

0:35:25 > 0:35:28She's been walking that way a little while.

0:35:28 > 0:35:30I really don't know how I'm going to deal with it.

0:35:30 > 0:35:32I'm not used to that with my kids.

0:35:32 > 0:35:38Because I feel like the right thing to do is I can't let her keep saying no. So we'll see.

0:35:50 > 0:35:55Overnight, Linzey and Jeanie have discussed Anastasia's behaviour and reached a decision.

0:35:55 > 0:36:01I pray for Anna's heart that she knows how much we care for and love her and really want her to stay.

0:36:03 > 0:36:08Hi. Can we talk for a little bit?

0:36:08 > 0:36:10I am struggling - I just want to be honest with you.

0:36:10 > 0:36:15What is really hard for us

0:36:15 > 0:36:21to get used to or to swallow is just saying, "No, I'm not going to do it".

0:36:21 > 0:36:28We can't go on with any more resistance of, "No, I just won't do that."

0:36:28 > 0:36:33Or we have to bend in ways we just don't feel we should.

0:36:33 > 0:36:37So if you don't fit in with the programme

0:36:37 > 0:36:43fully, I mean fully, if you don't, then you have to

0:36:43 > 0:36:50go home, literally. And I need you to make that decision pretty much now.

0:36:52 > 0:36:57I have a habit of just, like, when I get frustrated,

0:36:57 > 0:37:01words come out and then it comes to half an hour afterwards when I've cooled down

0:37:01 > 0:37:05and it just seems like, I shouldn't have reacted like that.

0:37:05 > 0:37:07I have to draw the line

0:37:07 > 0:37:10and you're going to have to make the decision.

0:37:12 > 0:37:15I don't want to go home yet.

0:37:15 > 0:37:18I want to finish out the week.

0:37:18 > 0:37:24- OK. What were you about to say? - Here's the big one.

0:37:24 > 0:37:27THEY LAUGH

0:37:27 > 0:37:32I really, really, really need you to go finish that fence tonight.

0:37:32 > 0:37:35So, is that yes?

0:37:35 > 0:37:36OK, yeah. I will do.

0:37:39 > 0:37:43I've just actually been given the choice to go home and see my friends

0:37:43 > 0:37:45and I'd much rather stay here painting a fence!

0:37:47 > 0:37:49I don't know what's happening to me.

0:37:49 > 0:37:54I'm learning that, in life, you do have to do things you don't want to do and you should just

0:37:54 > 0:38:01get on with it, because then it's more peaceful with people, rather than it being tense or awkward.

0:38:05 > 0:38:08It's halfway through the teens' stay

0:38:08 > 0:38:13and Linzey has scheduled an evening of family fun.

0:38:13 > 0:38:17# Amazing Grace

0:38:17 > 0:38:21# How sweet the sound... #

0:38:21 > 0:38:26The Armstrongs are pleased to see the regime is starting to pay off.

0:38:26 > 0:38:29Earlier on, Anna and I

0:38:29 > 0:38:30definitely

0:38:30 > 0:38:33hit some serious walls.

0:38:33 > 0:38:38I believe if I were to ask Anna tomorrow to go out and paint the fence again,

0:38:38 > 0:38:41she may look at me funny but I do believe she would do it.

0:38:41 > 0:38:44I believe she would do it.

0:38:44 > 0:38:48I definitely think Eden's been more closed than Anna.

0:38:48 > 0:38:52A little harder to see what's going on inside.

0:38:52 > 0:38:56Hides it a little better.

0:39:05 > 0:39:07Eden rarely sees his own father,

0:39:07 > 0:39:11who he only met for the first time six months ago.

0:39:11 > 0:39:15I believed that it was best that I brought Eden up on my own

0:39:15 > 0:39:19without his influence, because I didn't feel it will be positive.

0:39:19 > 0:39:25It really got to the point where a lot of his anger

0:39:25 > 0:39:27was really directed towards me.

0:39:27 > 0:39:32He blamed me for his father not being about and I feel like it

0:39:32 > 0:39:36really became the right time for him to meet his dad.

0:39:36 > 0:39:39My dad, I've known him for six months.

0:39:39 > 0:39:41Me and him are so close.

0:39:41 > 0:39:45Me and my mum, we've known each other for 16 years and we're nowhere near as close as I feel.

0:39:45 > 0:39:51I suppose I was a bit naive and I really hoped that him meeting

0:39:51 > 0:39:58his dad would make a big difference to me but I am wondering sometimes if it's actually made him worse.

0:40:01 > 0:40:04I just want to get this area right here.

0:40:04 > 0:40:11Concerned about Eden being withdrawn, Linzey decides to join him with his morning chores.

0:40:11 > 0:40:15Do you get a chance to do any work with your dad, your real dad?

0:40:15 > 0:40:17- Not really, no.- You feel

0:40:17 > 0:40:18like you want to...

0:40:18 > 0:40:23I know it's a tough subject, but do you feel you want to get close to your dad and do stuff with him?

0:40:23 > 0:40:28- He's so busy. I'm one of ten siblings.- He's got ten kids?

0:40:28 > 0:40:31Really? He's busy.

0:40:31 > 0:40:34You know, I

0:40:34 > 0:40:38haven't had a chance to tell you everything about my past.

0:40:38 > 0:40:41There was a lot of alcohol and my father was gone a lot.

0:40:41 > 0:40:43He was a musician.

0:40:43 > 0:40:47It was like what I really wanted was I just wanted him to do stuff with me.

0:40:47 > 0:40:54It was rare for him to take me out, teach me how to cut the lawn or throw a baseball or whatever.

0:40:54 > 0:40:58He didn't want to make my future bad.

0:40:58 > 0:41:01It was for my own good that he moved away.

0:41:06 > 0:41:07Wow!

0:41:07 > 0:41:12I think I just grew cold to it and thought, "This is how it's going to be."

0:41:12 > 0:41:14That's what I'm like as well.

0:41:14 > 0:41:16You get used to it.

0:41:16 > 0:41:18Yeah, you do. You just have to accept it.

0:41:19 > 0:41:22Compared to my dad,

0:41:22 > 0:41:26he's so much better. My dad might as well not be a dad if he is.

0:41:26 > 0:41:33He raises the game so much higher and makes him look really bad.

0:41:33 > 0:41:36My dad is my dad and there's nothing I can do about that.

0:41:36 > 0:41:41Linzey's their dad. I just sit back and admire how good he is.

0:41:45 > 0:41:52After his chat with Eden, Linzey has decided the teens are ready for another trip to the outside world.

0:41:52 > 0:41:55OK, guys.

0:41:55 > 0:41:59Today I'm going to take you to Edgewood Ranch.

0:41:59 > 0:42:02It's going to be kind of neat.

0:42:02 > 0:42:08He's arranged for them to help out at the Edgewood Children's Ranch, a purpose-built village on the

0:42:08 > 0:42:15outskirts of Orlando where troubled kids are sent as a last chance to get their lives back on track.

0:42:15 > 0:42:17If the children don't come to Edgewood,

0:42:17 > 0:42:20the next step is probably juvenile prison.

0:42:20 > 0:42:24This is the step before the serious problems set in.

0:42:24 > 0:42:28If you talk to our children, many have been in gangs - involved in gangs - and you

0:42:28 > 0:42:33ask them where they would be now if it weren't for Edgewood, and many said they would be dead.

0:42:33 > 0:42:35Hello, Gabby.

0:42:35 > 0:42:37- How are you?- Good.- Nice to meet you!

0:42:39 > 0:42:41Eden, wonderful. Great.

0:42:41 > 0:42:43Let's go in the kitchen.

0:42:43 > 0:42:50My goal today for Anna and Eden is to meet these kids today and I really want them to

0:42:50 > 0:42:56feel and sense what these kids have gone through, so hopefully it will make an impact on their lives to see

0:42:56 > 0:42:59how they have not appreciated the things that have been given to them.

0:42:59 > 0:43:02I hope it will make a difference.

0:43:05 > 0:43:11Anastasia is shadowing Nicole, who's been at the ranch for nearly three years.

0:43:11 > 0:43:16You want to get it all over so it can be dark and we can see it.

0:43:16 > 0:43:19We'll cook and we'll clean and we'll set up for dinner and...

0:43:19 > 0:43:24we'll wash dishes and those types of things. I tend to have fun.

0:43:24 > 0:43:28I like to cook. I feel a sense of accomplishment.

0:43:30 > 0:43:31Why are you here?

0:43:31 > 0:43:34Um, I'm basically doing...

0:43:34 > 0:43:40I should just give my mum and dad more respect really,

0:43:40 > 0:43:42like, to learn how different people live.

0:43:42 > 0:43:46Being here, it teaches you to respect your parents and obey them

0:43:46 > 0:43:48when they say to do something. I wasn't too good on that.

0:43:48 > 0:43:51Now I'm perfect.

0:43:51 > 0:43:54My mum wouldn't trade me for the world now.

0:43:54 > 0:43:59The ranch children are raised by strict foster parents.

0:43:59 > 0:44:04They attend chapel three times a week and girls and boys are segregated.

0:44:04 > 0:44:07- Why are you here?- Because I never did what Mum told me to.

0:44:07 > 0:44:10I was always out late, running round with the boys and

0:44:10 > 0:44:15doing this and doing that - that I know, me personally, shouldn't be doing.

0:44:15 > 0:44:21I felt like my mum didn't care about me and I felt like my mum was always nagging me all the time.

0:44:21 > 0:44:29So, we came here for a tour and first I was kind of like, I don't want to come here because I don't want anyone

0:44:29 > 0:44:34telling me when to go to bed, when to go to school, when not to go to school.

0:44:34 > 0:44:38But I came, in a way, because this is what my mum really wanted for me. I don't know.

0:44:38 > 0:44:41I guess I was just getting too much for her to handle.

0:44:41 > 0:44:44- Do you enjoy it here?- I do, I do.

0:44:44 > 0:44:49Except for not being able to talk to the guys but I really enjoy it here.

0:44:57 > 0:45:01The ranch's strict diet of discipline and hard work is highly successful

0:45:01 > 0:45:06with 92% of the kids able to go back home and back into school.

0:45:09 > 0:45:13This is Tanner. Tanner, this is Eden.

0:45:13 > 0:45:16Tanner's going to show you around his cottage.

0:45:16 > 0:45:19Will you kind of stick with him?

0:45:19 > 0:45:21- Lead the way, then.- Lead the way.

0:45:24 > 0:45:3115-year-old Tanner came to the ranch a year ago after being thrown out of school for fighting and truancy.

0:45:31 > 0:45:36When I got here, I was worried about the rules

0:45:36 > 0:45:43and wondering what I have to do and what happened if I broke the rules and stuff.

0:45:43 > 0:45:44What time do you go to bed?

0:45:44 > 0:45:47Around 8.30pm, 9.00pm.

0:45:47 > 0:45:50- That's really early.- It is. - I usually go to bed about 1.00am.

0:45:50 > 0:45:52It's different here, so...

0:45:52 > 0:45:56I wasn't very happy about that, either.

0:45:56 > 0:46:00Tanner's bad behaviour was triggered by a death in his family.

0:46:00 > 0:46:05When I was growing up in my house, when my mum and dad were together,

0:46:05 > 0:46:08they would always argue a lot and just, um...

0:46:08 > 0:46:10They would get in fights and stuff.

0:46:10 > 0:46:18They got divorced when I was really young and I was like three or four and so they had a split custody.

0:46:18 > 0:46:22My mum had me most of the time.

0:46:22 > 0:46:28When I was 11, my mum passed away from cancer so my dad got full custody of me.

0:46:28 > 0:46:36Basically, since then, I didn't really try because my mum was the main one that supported me.

0:46:36 > 0:46:38I just stopped trying in school.

0:46:38 > 0:46:42It's not like my dad didn't give me support or anything,

0:46:42 > 0:46:44it's just I didn't see him a lot.

0:46:44 > 0:46:47I didn't really pay attention to him.

0:46:47 > 0:46:52Then I got sent here and it really helps

0:46:54 > 0:46:56and it's a lot better now.

0:46:56 > 0:46:59It's a lot easier.

0:46:59 > 0:47:02- You seem like you've come a long way.- Yeah.

0:47:02 > 0:47:07Well, if you can do it - and you've had it a lot worse than me - surely I can do it.

0:47:07 > 0:47:12It's really inspiring to see someone like you that can do it.

0:47:12 > 0:47:14Tanner's story was really sort of like...

0:47:14 > 0:47:17It shocked me a lot. I weren't expecting it.

0:47:17 > 0:47:25It didn't hit home that he'd never say sorry to him mum for what he did and I've still got a chance.

0:47:31 > 0:47:38With the teens' visit drawing to an end, Linzey is keen to give Eden some advice before he goes home.

0:47:39 > 0:47:43So, this is getting close to the end.

0:47:43 > 0:47:48The last time I can speak into your life as your father.

0:47:48 > 0:47:52One of the biggest, biggest things

0:47:52 > 0:47:57I had to understand that I want to impart to you is forgiveness.

0:47:57 > 0:47:59- Yeah.- Massive.

0:47:59 > 0:48:03If you can find it in your heart to forgive your dad...

0:48:03 > 0:48:05You're only 16, you've got a whole life.

0:48:05 > 0:48:08Don't stay angry and frustrated.

0:48:08 > 0:48:11You don't want to be my age and still mad and frustrated at everybody.

0:48:11 > 0:48:16- Yeah.- When you go back, you and your mum might be used to treating each other a certain way.

0:48:16 > 0:48:21It's up to you to be able to respond differently.

0:48:21 > 0:48:23This is nice.

0:48:23 > 0:48:26It's so warm.

0:48:26 > 0:48:28The water at home is so cold.

0:48:28 > 0:48:31The chat I had with Linzey was really reassuring.

0:48:31 > 0:48:35Talking about the things that wound me up was really helpful.

0:48:35 > 0:48:36He put it so simply.

0:48:36 > 0:48:43And opened it up to me that it's not that hard to do, you've got to put your mind to it and you can do it.

0:48:50 > 0:48:56For the first time since he's been away from home, Eden receives news from his mother.

0:48:57 > 0:49:00- Thank you.- A letter.

0:49:00 > 0:49:02Yeah.

0:49:02 > 0:49:04- Do you know who it's from?- From Mum.

0:49:11 > 0:49:17"Dearest Ede, I'm so proud that you've come so far, despite a very rocky start.

0:49:17 > 0:49:19"Fearing life...

0:49:23 > 0:49:28"It's hard not to feel angry, frustrated, disappointed

0:49:28 > 0:49:32"when you feel life has continued to be unfair.

0:49:35 > 0:49:38"I love you, Ede, I always have and I always will.

0:49:38 > 0:49:41"You are my son, my one and only.

0:49:41 > 0:49:42"Rox and Jen love you too.

0:49:44 > 0:49:45"I still want you to be happy.

0:49:45 > 0:49:49"See you seen. All my love and more, Mum."

0:50:03 > 0:50:08It's like hearing my mum's voice. When I opened the letter, it just completely reminded me of her.

0:50:08 > 0:50:11And actually, now, I do miss her.

0:50:11 > 0:50:14I never thought I'd say that.

0:50:14 > 0:50:18- But I suppose I do.- This is so important to let it out, you know.

0:50:18 > 0:50:21We want to hold back sometimes.

0:50:21 > 0:50:24- I know.- But letting it out is really part of the healing.

0:50:24 > 0:50:26It really makes me want to say sorry now.

0:50:28 > 0:50:29For just...

0:50:32 > 0:50:37For just all the wrong we have done.

0:50:37 > 0:50:40- You look like you need another hug. - Course you can!

0:50:53 > 0:51:00The time has come for the teens to leave Florida and return to their own families.

0:51:00 > 0:51:04- Thank you for having us.- Thanks for listening.- Thank you. Bye.

0:51:04 > 0:51:06'They really did become part of our family.'

0:51:06 > 0:51:12I really believe that. They felt like they were our children for a week. So that was huge.

0:51:12 > 0:51:16Yeah, I can honestly say I feel like this is one of the best things we've ever done

0:51:16 > 0:51:19and it was one of the hardest decisions to make!

0:51:19 > 0:51:22But it's really been wonderful.

0:51:22 > 0:51:24I love you so much.

0:51:24 > 0:51:28I'm going to miss this family so much, like the way they live is just like extraordinary, like.

0:51:28 > 0:51:32I want to go back and shine a completely different light on my life

0:51:32 > 0:51:37and stop being as lazy and spoilt because that's not going to get you anywhere.

0:51:37 > 0:51:38See you, son.

0:51:38 > 0:51:40Thanks a lot.

0:51:41 > 0:51:43I think they are a great family.

0:51:43 > 0:51:50They're a very loving family and just being around them makes you want to love them back.

0:51:50 > 0:51:53- We love you, guys.- Bye.

0:51:56 > 0:51:59Being here has changed my outlook and when I get back to England,

0:51:59 > 0:52:04I'm really looking forward to just improving my relationship with my mum.

0:52:16 > 0:52:20I just hope that she comes back with more focus and to

0:52:20 > 0:52:25achieve her goals and just be more respectful to us as a family.

0:52:29 > 0:52:31Hello! How are you?

0:52:33 > 0:52:35- Oh, did you have a nice time?- Yeah.

0:52:35 > 0:52:38I've really missed you.

0:52:38 > 0:52:42- Missed you too.- Come on in, we'll get a cup of tea.- Yeah.

0:52:42 > 0:52:45- Hello.- Ohh.

0:52:45 > 0:52:48- Did you have a nice time?- Yeah.

0:52:48 > 0:52:52- So have you learned anything since with your experience?- Yeah.

0:52:52 > 0:52:57- Go on.- I learned if you just get on with what you've been asked to do then it's easier

0:52:57 > 0:53:00and you get it done quicker and spend more time complaining than actually doing it.

0:53:00 > 0:53:02- Correct.- So don't argue.

0:53:02 > 0:53:04- Don't argue.- Oh, my gosh.

0:53:04 > 0:53:05Have we got a changed girl then?

0:53:05 > 0:53:09- Told you all the time.- Have we got a changed Anastasia?

0:53:09 > 0:53:14I think we do. I did what I was told, not necessarily because I wanted to, but because I wanted

0:53:14 > 0:53:19to show more respect and that's the same thing I'm going to do with you.

0:53:19 > 0:53:20- That's better.- That's lovely.

0:53:20 > 0:53:22Well done, darling.

0:53:22 > 0:53:24That's great.

0:53:25 > 0:53:28She's only been home for like five minutes and she seems to,

0:53:28 > 0:53:34rather than argue about what she's got to do, she says she's going to...

0:53:34 > 0:53:39There's no point in arguing because that takes too much time, you might as well just do it.

0:53:39 > 0:53:45I definitely think she's learned a hell of a lot from it which is fabulous.

0:53:54 > 0:53:58I just can't wait to find out what's happened and what's been going on.

0:53:58 > 0:54:03I'm just hoping that we can just really move forward,

0:54:03 > 0:54:06me and Eden and just respect each other for who we are.

0:54:06 > 0:54:08HE KNOCKS

0:54:23 > 0:54:25I love you.

0:54:25 > 0:54:28- I love you too. - Did you have a good time, then?

0:54:28 > 0:54:30- Yeah.- Come on, then.

0:54:30 > 0:54:33You knew I'd be upset.

0:54:33 > 0:54:35- How you doing, mate?- All right.- OK?

0:54:36 > 0:54:41- Are you glad you've had this experience?- Yeah, I just want to say sorry, to be honest.

0:54:41 > 0:54:44Oh, darling. Do you?

0:54:44 > 0:54:47Yeah, just for showing a lack of respect, to be honest.

0:54:49 > 0:54:51You all right?

0:54:51 > 0:54:55Just, yeah, I've learned it and that's what I went there to do.

0:54:55 > 0:54:59- Thanks.- Apology accepted.

0:54:59 > 0:55:04When I left, it was very tense and like, there was arguments

0:55:04 > 0:55:08and I've learned now to deal with it

0:55:08 > 0:55:12and either move away from it or just do it and get it out of the way.

0:55:12 > 0:55:15That's probably one of the main things I have learned.

0:55:15 > 0:55:21You've really come back and thought about things and you've really benefited from it, that you have.

0:55:21 > 0:55:25And I think because you've benefited from it, we will now as a family.

0:55:25 > 0:55:28You are a wonderful young man.

0:55:34 > 0:55:38Eh? You all right?

0:55:42 > 0:55:44Oh, it's brilliant to see him.

0:55:44 > 0:55:48He's just straight away, I can just feel the difference.

0:55:48 > 0:55:53Just from having an apology, it was brilliant.

0:55:53 > 0:55:57Now I've got a real belief in my heart that we'll have

0:55:57 > 0:56:02a relationship and it's going to be good so, yeah, that's great.

0:56:02 > 0:56:03Brilliant.
