    I don’t get how adults can be that immature. Why the hell are they parents?

    What’s sad is they probably won’t even get any jail time at all. They’ll get a plea deal and do a little community service, and that’ll be the end of it.

    This is why these idiots do these things.

    Burns me up. Put them both in jail for 6 months, and ban them from ever profiting from this stunt (as in reality show, book deal, etc., I guarantee you they won’t do it again. Those kids would be better off in a foster home or put up for adoption.

    It could be worse. They could end up with a reality show out of all this. Michael Vick did. Personally – I think it should be illegal to feature children on reality shows period – and convicted criminals too. Mike Tyson has his own show now as well. One day – somebody’s gonna die on one of these shows. What if this Heene guy had built a balloon and actually put his kid inside? That’s why there oughta be laws protecting kids from parents like that.
