October 16, 200916 yr Did anyone watch the family on the Today show this morning. They had the whole family and showing them sitting there and the dad is talking and I think the one kid threw up all over. They quickly did a close up of the dad but you could still here the kid gagging in the back ground. Not long after they announced that they would get back to the family after they collected themselves. I did not see the later interview.:ohbrother:

October 18, 200916 yr Uh oh...somebody is going to jail... http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/10/17/colorado.balloon.boy/index.html Saw that they face Misdemeanor charges because the sheriff said that was all they could charge them with but was contacting federal authorities about other possible federal charges. From the twice on Wife Sway and the shows they seemed to put on there, than CNN saying that the family sends them a bunch of Ireports in chasing storms, it seems the family chases the spotlight.

October 19, 200916 yr Does anybody else think that this is just some sick publicity stunt by the dad? Thank you very much. I figured as much all along.
October 19, 200916 yr Apparently a hoax from the word go; which doesn't surprise me in the slightest given the family's penchant for publicity. Thank goodness the authorities had the good sense to "play along" and get to the bottom of things.
October 19, 200916 yr Thank you very much. I figured as much all along. I am just shocked someone would put that much trust in a 6 year old to not change his story.
October 19, 200916 yr I am just shocked someone would put that much trust in a 6 year old to not change his story. The stupidity of people never ceases to amaze me.
October 19, 200916 yr The stupidity of people never ceases to amaze me. I agree. People will always continue to amaze me with their stupidity. When you think you've seen something that can't be topped, someone always comes along and beats them. :lol:
October 19, 200916 yr Author New details are coming out that the husband has been abusing the wife or something crazy. I don't have a link yet.
October 19, 200916 yr I realize I am now contributing to this thread, but these people are getting exactly what they want... attention. Octomom situation reincarnated in that you have parents abusing children to garner a few minutes of fame. Sickening. I hope they receive a severe punishment.

October 24, 200916 yr If he is actually abusing her, he should go to jail. Otherwise, I think they should be required to pay some serious fines and be forced to do a lot of community service.
