Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Na te tangi o te reo o tona whaea i kanikani ai te kotiro toru-tau-tau o New York City i te koa. Ko Kennedy Steele, kāore anō ia kia rongo i tōna māmā i mua, nā te mea i whānau mai ia, kāore ōna uaua whakarongo, i whakakite i ōna nekehanga kanikani harikoa i muri i te pokanga i te Whare Hauora o Langone o NYU. He tukanga whakamātautau tana i te hōhipera i whakauruhia ai tētahi pūmārō rākau roro whakarongo. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Ko Kennedy Steele, e toru, i kanikani hari i muri i tana rongonga i te reo o tōna whaea mō te wā tuatahi. Ko te kotiro o Niu Ioka i mua i te mea kua turi ia no te mea i whanau mai ia kaore he uaua whakarongo. I taea e ia te whakarongo i muri i tana whakamātautau i tētahi tukanga whakamātautau i NYU Langone Medical Center i New York. I tēnei wā, ka hurihia e te whakapakoko te mea e ngaro ana i roto i tōna taringa o roto, e ai ki te CBS News. I whakaaetia e te FDA te whakamātautau o te whakapakoko ki ngā tamariki i Langone i New York me ētahi atu hōhipera e toru i Massachusetts, California me North Carolina. Ka taea kē e ētahi tūroro pakeke te whiwhi i te whakapakoko. I kii a Momia Nick Steele: 'He mea kua roa au e tatari ana. 'Kei te tumanako tōku whānau kia pai ake te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero ki a ia. 'Ko te mea nui rawa atu.' Ka whai ngā tākuta i te ahunga whakamua o Kennedy mō ngā tau e rima e whai ake nei kia kite ai i te ahunga whakamua o āna āheinga kōrero. Ko te whakapakoko roro taringa, e whakamātauria ana i runga i ngā tamariki, kei te takahi i te mea e ngaro ana i roto i tōna taringa o roto. Kei te whakamātauria te whakapakoko ki ngā tamariki i New York me ngā hōhipera i Massachusetts, California me North Carolina. Ka whai ngā tākuta i te ahunga whakamua o Kennedy mō ngā tau e rima kia kite ai i te ahunga whakamua o āna āheinga kōrero. Kāore i te mārama mēnā ka taea e te wheako o te rongo i ngā oro te roro o Kennedy ki te mārama ki te reo, ā, ka kōrero ia, e ai ki te pūrongo a WCAX. I kī a Tākuta J Thomas Roland o Langone ko ngā hua he 'tino whakamīharo'. Ka mea ia: 'E whakaaro ana mātou kei te whiwhi mōhiohio ā-rongo ēnei tamariki, ā, kei runga i te huarahi ki te whakawhanake i te reo ā-waha me te kōrero ā-waha.'
He turi tonu a Kennedy Steele i muri i tana whanautanga me te kore o nga uaua whakarongo. Ko te whakapakoko rākau roro whakarongo hou e whakakapi ana i te mea e ngaro ana i roto i te taringa o roto. I whakahaeretia te kotiro iti ki te Whare Hauora o NYU Langone i New York City. Ka aroturukihia e ngā tākuta a Kennedy mō ngā tau e rima kia kite ai i te whanaketanga o tana kōrero.
