What Ballon boys dad has done before! email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 98/100. bunnybon7 (3730)   ranked 76 out of 7,205 in family3 months ago

This morning on the news from my pc, i got a video link to some of the things ballon boys dad has done on video all ready. i thought i'd share and see what you think. rolleyes actually, im thinking hes a bit like Octomom!lol just wants publicity and a show of his own. I think the economy is causing a lot of people to want to be like Jon and Kate and get lots of money just by exploiting their children. its a shame that so many are stooping to trying thissad dont you think its wrong? and whats worse for me is that when it first happened, i was fooled by him and thought he was on the up and up. i thought he really seemed to worry over his child. heres a link for a video he did before. THIS LINK IS ABOUT THE DISCUSSION ONLY> NOT A REFERRAL

That's a pretty cute video. I'm very resentful of all the worry he caused us all and I certainly hope he suffers some consequences!

The entire situation with this family makes me sick. The more I hear about them and their past and the balloon boy incident, the sicker it makes me feel. I have a six year old daughter and I couldn't imagine faking that she was missing for any period of time. Heck, I about had a heart attack in a store when she was a couple years old when she ran off from me. The thing is, in a certain sense, what the Heene family has done is playing a role in the boy who cried wolf. If one of their children is ever missing is anyone going to believe them.
As far as the Boxtown video, that was kind of cute from the clip that we were able to see, but it does also show that he is trying to get publicity in any way that he possibly can.

tHEY ARE NUTS, BOTH PARENTS AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED. wONDER WHY THEY BOTH CAN'T GET OUT & GET A HONEST TO GOODNESS JOB & WORK like i did & so many people do. What's going to happen to those kids when they put both their tails in jail. Ridicvlous people!!!angry


myLot reputation of 98/100. bunnybon7 (3730)   ranked 76 out of 7,205 in family  3 months ago

yes, they are very wrong but hopefully they will just put him in jail as it seems like he is the one behind it all. i think she just goes along with it. then at least they will have their mother and she will see the error in their ways.


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11693)   ranked 12 out of 7,205 in family  3 months ago

Some women will go along w/anything to have a husband. thumbdown. i think going along makes her as guilty as the stupid man.

Well I haven't watched the video, but I think people like this. need to really suffer they like to make fools, of themselves to earn money, and then they come up with a sob story to try to earn some money, from all of as by getting us, to watch them on TV, well I am glad I don't own a TV because, nnoe of these clowns, would be worth my time in watching them. happythumbup


myLot reputation of 98/100. bunnybon7 (3730)   ranked 76 out of 7,205 in family  3 months ago

i know. i dont watch any of those reality show about people with kids etc. i only watch the ones about adults competing to win money. thats different then exploiting your kids and selling them to public veiwsad

Hi bunnybon7,

I saw a caption of what happened here and I don´t think they should ever be allowed to have publicity whatever it is. Over here you see we don´t get what happens with these kind of things after. We knew that the little Boy was not in the Balloon and there was a big fuss logically and we all wondered how he would get down.
What a to do for the all the Rescuers putting their lives at risk at the very least they should be fined the Parents I mean. Nice to see the little Boy is safe and sound whatever.


myLot reputation of 98/100. bunnybon7 (3730)   ranked 76 out of 7,205 in family  3 months ago

Yes he should have to at least pay a fine. im sure if i did something like that for attention they'd have my skinthumbdown

Hiya bunnybon,

Actually I meant to say in what I wrote above that we did not know that the little boy was not in the Balloon. At first we all thought he was there high up in the Sky drifting aimlessly and could have crashed anywhere and got very badly injured.
I would have them fined so as not to use their little Children again in such a shameless way.

I think what he did, using rescue resources for a publicity stunt were terrible. What if there'd been a real emergency and those resources were not available where needed? I think he, and his wife who went along with it should be prosecuted fully, and pay for the costs of the rescue efforts. I do feel bad for the children, who were used as pawns in this. What kind of example did these parents set for them?


myLot reputation of 98/100. bunnybon7 (3730)   ranked 76 out of 7,205 in family  3 months ago

i know it is terrible. they really had me fooled. i had hoped they were on the up and up because of the children.

Well, I am now changing the television station whe these reality shows come on. I am also refusing to click on the links that go to such sites as Octo-mom, The Gosselins, and my personal favorite abusive parents...The Duggers.
Yes, I believe that The Duggers are neglecting their children. They talk about what they have to sacrifice in order to have that many children. The parents are not raising those kids...the older siblings are. I don't understand why you would want that many kids.
Personally, I also believe that the husband is exploiting his wife. These people need to be stopped.


myLot reputation of 98/100. bunnybon7 (3730)   ranked 76 out of 7,205 in family  3 months ago

yes and i think they would stop if people stopped watching any of these things that exploit children by watching their home life, movements etc. that would work i think. if no body was interested they would stop making so many of those series.

What they did with their boy and the public trying to find him is horrific. The father should go to jail for it.


myLot reputation of 98/100. bunnybon7 (3730)   ranked 76 out of 7,205 in family  3 months ago

yes i believe he should. then maybe the mom will raise them better herself from seeing what could happen.

That people do this with no thought of how they are affecting their family just amazes me. These are parents teaching their children to commit fraud?! Really, really bothers me. Fame is the only reason he put everyone through this. People who really care and worry will now question everything, and some child will be lost or hurt or die because people like this father has taught us to question and hesitate. It makes me so very angry!


myLot reputation of 98/100. bunnybon7 (3730)   ranked 76 out of 7,205 in family  3 months ago

i agree with you now. before i really thought a father wouldnt do this. but how wrong i was. its to bad you need a liscense to drive a car but we dont have tests and liscense you have to get to raise a child. not saying parents should be perfect but there should be a few rules and guildlines as to whether they are sane and love childrenlol

It is wrong. And think what he is teaching his children with this idiosy! I am floored that the kids aren't taken away from him just because of this. I hope that one of the things that happens to him is that he is made to pay for the National Guard coming to his aid. If Falcon put his talents to work on some constructive and productive areas he could really make it. It is funny how people direct their educations and their know how. He wanted fame. I guess in his twisted way he got it.


myLot reputation of 98/100. bunnybon7 (3730)   ranked 76 out of 7,205 in family  3 months ago

yes its sad that i actually defended him and thought he was being wronged only to find out he was doing all this crap to his kids to make money by getting a show.


myLot reputation of 97/100. celticeagle (5008)   ranked 368 out of 7,205 in family  3 months ago

I know. You wouldn't think anyone in their right mind would do such a thing.
