In the 1980s when Yogaville moved, the Kitts family chose to remain in CT and relocate to Storrs Mansfield. There, the family lived at an apartment in Warrenville and eventually a home on South Eagleville Rd. Once out of the commune, the two Cuomo children began to prepare for public schools. According to Rivers, they taught each other to swear to fit in. Rivers also said that they were beaten up frequently. Upon entering public school, both Rivers and Leaves began to go by the last name of Kitts (their stepfather's surname) rather than Cuomo. According to [[Justin Fisher]] (a longtime friend of the boys), Rivers and Leaves' parents permitted them to go by new first names to help them fit in better. Leaves chose to go by the name Jimmy Kitts. | In the 1980s when Yogaville moved, the Kitts family chose to remain in CT and relocate to Storrs Mansfield.
