The Adams Family is the second episode of series 6 of the British Supernanny show.

Episode summary
Merrick is a single father who lives in Brighton. He split up from his wife six months ago. He has 4 children, 11-year-old Akira, 8-year-old Skip, 5-year-old Susie, and 2-year-old Chris. Susie was diagnosed with ADHD, and her violet behaviour is dominating family life, and is leaving Merrick battered and bruised. She will punch, kick, swear, and spit at her brothers and her dad. Skip is unable to speak and has Cerebral Palsy. Akira makes this house a dangerous place by doing unsafe challenges like climbing on the crockery cupboard, and Chris, well, just picks up Susie’s behaviour.

Observation
Right away as Jo arrives, the kids are acting up. Akira is jumping in the trampoline in the living room, Susie is acting up, Skip is using his speech pad on his wheelchair, and Chris is playing "Demon Princes". Jo is gobsmacked that they have a trampoline in their living room.

The kids are going outside. Skip is using is walker, and Akira is on the climbing frame. Susie is threatening to kill Chris. Merrick warns her that if she keeps threatening people, she’ll go inside, in which she does. Susie throws a huge tantrum and tries to go outside. Merrick locks the main outside door, and reminds the boys that they’ll have to come in through the kitchen door.
