The belief that many kids start stuttering because they imitate a stutterer is 99% goofy. As for stutterers not stuttering when speaking a foreign language, I would say this does happen occasionally (I've known a couple of such cases), but much more commonly stutterers do stutter when using a foreign language---and frequently they stutter more frequently and severely. I'd like to see some research on these questions. And please don't go insane.
