JO FROST GRAPPLES WITH A MACHO DAD WHOSE POTTY-MOUTHED SONS USE GAY SLURS, ON ABC'S "SUPERNANNY"

"Benton Family" � Greg Benton is a dad who wants his boys to be tough, and he prizes physical strength and overall fitness in them. But his sons, Rivers, age 10, and Hunter, age 8, fight daily, with Rivers instigating Hunter, and the house is filled with yelling and empty threats, so the boys continue their pattern. Then Hunter shocks Jo by using gay slurs to insult his brother. Supernanny immediately goes to work with the parents to tackle this unacceptable behavior and uncovers the parents' admission that their marriage is in crisis, which is why the boys may be acting out so much.
