Sorry, but I saw part of that TODAY clip--right after the kid barfed.

Daddy has a look in his eyes like he knows he's gonna be spending a little "up close and personal" time with Bubba down in Canon City.  And given the FAA involvement and flight disruptions around DIA, methinks there might be some federal involvement.

Says I?  GOOD.

I only saw a later clip of it...I didn't see the kid throwing up...just heard about it.

I agree that it needs more investigation....especially after I heard late yesterday that the family won't be billed for anything.

Which the father probably already knew.....

There's talk of potential fines and restitution being levied against the parents. Someone made a "false statement to officials" as it has become clear that the parents and one of the siblings KNEW that the 6 year old was at home, safe and sound. I think that the mother also made a false 911 report. I hope that they get their just rewards.

This too strikes me curious.

Unless that kid suddenly took sick overnight I doubt he was having stage fright as the parents have raised their kids to be attention whores.

He did this during two different interviews, I guess.  Lying (or going along with a lie) can be stressful.

According to what I heard on the Today show....they said (after the interview) the family had been up all night. That would be enough to make me sick too.

I heard he called the FAA before he called 911....

There's video from the family now of the launch of the balloon.  The mom and the dad are right there (and the dad flips out).

The other woman that was in the "Wife Swap" show was just interviewed on Fox.

Yesterday when I heard her, she said she wouldn't be surprised if this was an attention getting hoax.

Now she just defended him and essentially said there was no way this was a hoax.

Guess someone told her she could be sued for libel and defamation of character...

It's supposed to prove it's a hoax.  It doesn't match the story they gave.

Looks to me like daddy is an attention whore. What parent, that worries about their young children, being in sound mind, would take them chasing frikkin' TORNADOS?????????

I rest my case! This guy is a danger to his boys, pure and simple! What's the age of the oldest, 8? What a good idea! "Hey boys look, we're going to see a tornado up close and personal!" " Never mind that a cat 4 can throw a semi around like a Tonka Toy and we're in a POS SUV!"

Sheesh what an idiot! He needs some Psyche eval! To say nothing of a mother that would go along with this, though I doubt she has any choice after watching his temper on Greta. It's been my experience in domestics, that the weaker sex will actually put themselves in danger to please the abuser.

Pretty sure Children Services needs to get involved with this family.

People sure seem to be all too ready to involve Fascist agencies. I had heard that the Sheriff already has involved CPS. For what ?? Were there signs of abuse??

He should have been arrested after he threw the food and then the drink at that woman in wife swap.     He has serious issues with the volume of his voice also -- screaming is so forced and so disturbing.   

His wife is a total loon also.

If they had the kids in the car while chasing tornadoes there is a possibility of child endangerment. I think the sheriff should have investigated that some more before turning it over to CPS.  Once CPS gets their hooks into a family, they generally screw things up.
