The Citarella Family

The Citarella Family is the fourteenth episode of Season 4 of the American Supernanny show.

Episode summary
Jo heads to Scotch Plains, New Jersey where Debbie (30) and Joe (31) need help with their four children: 7-year-old Rebecca, 6-year-old Sarah, 3-year-old Hannah and 1-year-old Joshua.

Stay at home mom Debbie admits that the children run a "three ring circus around me" while police officer Joe admits that their behavior has taken the fun out of parenting and wears earplugs whenever he drives the kids around.

Rebecca is picking up her siblings' aggressive behaviors, but she is more well-behaved than her siblings; Sarah acts aggressive, defiant, and is set in her ways; Hannah has taken up shoplifting, and even baby Joshua is described as a "brute."

Debbie tends to laugh whenever she disciplines the children and Jo thinks that she isn't serious about changing her behavior.
