 In the season premiere tonight, entitled The Garay Family:
When a mother was shot and killed by a gang member's stray bullet, her oldest son, Johnny Garay, who works for a non-profit agency and coaches at-risk teens, took in his five siblings, David, 12, eleven-year-old twins Nidia and Efren, Eric, six, and three-year-old Celina Cleto, so that they would not be separated by Child Protective Services.
Although Johnny and his wife Veronica had four young children of their own - Christina, nine, seven-year-old twins Iris and Johnnie, and Freddy, three - he moved this now large family into what he could afford, a major fixer-upper in the South Central area of Los Angeles, California, built in 1905.
