Everything about this family is really odd to me and very unlike all other immigrant families I've known (and having immigrated myself as a child, I've known many). Typically, in the "new country" people tend to stick together, stay close, etc because they don't have external emotional supports or friends. But here you have this family, various aunts and uncles, none of whom have been in touch with these kids for at least 8+ years. Moreover, at least one of the sisters has also had no contact with her brothers for years. Really peculiar.
my extended family is just like that - immigrant family in the UK, all (apart from me, nice and peaceful in another country LOL) living within 20 miles of each other and not seeing/speaking to each other... constant family feuds and fall-outs between the aunt/uncle/parent generation, and all of that generation seriously as mad as cats (although the younger generation, i.e. cousins, are mostly pretty stable and lovely and get on very well, and many of us younger generation are estranged from the older generation) - it would seriously be a NIGHTMARE if any of my family did something media-worthy LOL
