'Balloon Boy's' Parents Plead Guilty in Colorado

[segaface]

what is gonna happen 2 the kids?

[plugdoh]

@segaface who gives a flying fuck. the moms an eligal alien. the dad looks high all the time and was making up that his son!@ was in a baloon..........and the kids are little fucking shits they made a music video making fun of homosexuals. wtf

[garrobito007]

this dumbfuck married this ugly bitch probably bcuz nobody wants marry him .

[Tavevision]

I don't think it had much to do with looks. Hes a decent looking guy. I don't think any woman in their right mind would marry a man that acts like a 7 year old child. And its been proven his wife is illegal in the united states, and came over to the united states illegaly. So, the whole. Mail-Order-Bride thing steps in. I really hope she wakes up and stops pampering this Bigget with her kind nature.

[BiometricPhotos]

Now for the rest of his life, the kid is going to be called "The balloon boy" Poor kid.

[texasboy2866]

[STR8UPWITHU2]

SUCKIE SUCKIE!

[johnny718bravo]

The parents need to be beaten

[RandomDoors]

the mother is not a legal us citizen, that is why they admitted to this bs.

they were going to send her back to japan if they did not confess.

[RandomDoors]

I don't know why anyone would give that statement by me a thumbs down, the news out of denver reported that, not me.

they said the mom is NOT a US citizen, so they used that information to make her admit the hoax, or she would be charged and sent back to Japan. THAT IS A FACT!

[RandomDoors]

yes, the truth is, they are only sorry they got caught and did not get a reality show!

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

Just call them the "Balloon Parents" from now on. There's no need to involve the kid in it any longer. No one will be confused about who you're referring to.

[Twilightify]

If I do end up stupid and get a husband like this, I'll slap him silly until he goes running away to his mother.

[RandomDoors]

"Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it"

i wonder how they like their "fame" now?

[dsteitz1]

I think it's important not to forget about simple mercy. These folks were acting like idiots and they know it. Being he is now blacklisted from any sort of meaningful media attention, whats the point of giving the state added expense. He is getting punished, His kids will grow up knowing Pops is a stupid disgraceful lamer.

[Leonnidik]

make them pay all that police search fee, fucking assholes. CPS should remove their children.

[tokenchoke311]

they have something wrong with them that can't be fixed...kinda like Jon and Kate x 50...it should be illegal to have a camera anywhere near any of them

[sugoiking]

I feel bad for them, they seem so innocent yet it's shocking to know that they would do something like that to become famous. they could of just start their own reality tv show without putting on such a show and putting a bad name for the entire family. :l basically their children's childhood is destroy by their parents

[tripclaw]

Okay now we all need to work together to forget these people and NOT let them use this to become reality celebrities down the line.

[Steadno]

send the dad to jail for 30 days and put the mom on probation. they should both pay fine and do community service.

[AnnieNM06]

why do you think they should be less harsh with the mother when, IMO she's just as responsible. because she's a mommy? wtf?

[Steadno]

basically cause the dad seems very eccentric and probably bullied the mom into doing it. dont want to traumatize the kids any more. if she goes to jail the kids will have to go to foster care.

[mdryden02]

Foster care is a worse scene than most people realize.

[Steadno]

i know my mom had to go to the hospital for a month when i was young so i went to foster care. it was a crazy period to say the least.

[mdryden02]

I am so sorry that you had that experience.

I have volunteered to help people who have been mistreated in foster homes; some of them had to be there for all their childhoods.

I am glad that you go go back home! I also hope that you have recovered from the experience.

[mdryden02]

His parent stink, but foster home is too likely be a lot worse. I wish they could require the parents to go to parenting education classes, and have a couselor work with the children, also, to see if the boys are learning healthy behavior and values.

[AnnieNM06]

she is an adult and responsible for her own actions so bullying doesn't cut it for me.

And just because she has kids doesn't mean she should be treated special before the law, thats a double standard. If the kids go to foster care then no one is to blame but the parents.

Really how hard would it have been for her to have stood up to her dushbag husband or at least not take part? I'm thinking not much.

Srsly i'm sick of the madonna/whore double standard bullshit.

[Steadno]

You dont know maybe she did try to stand up to her fame crazed husband. He was the one who built the balloon and the one doing most of the talking. She is female and there is little chance she could have overruled him. This is why she should receive leniency in my opinion.

[HoneyNVinegar]

Just because she's a woman doesn't mean she wasn't in it for the fame. Is it likely that he was the more insistent? Sure... but she has just as much a part in this as he does, if not just for the passiveness when it comes to her own children. I don't care HOW insistent a man is; if my husband wanted to put our son in danger for publicity, I'd kick him outta the house.

[Steadno]

HNV: You are looking at this from a cold stale vantage. In general, a man will be dominant over a women even if he isnt abusive. The husband was clearly wobbly eyed and yes she may have wanted fame but just look at their demeanor. This was dumb act orchestrated by the dad so he should get the brunt.

[reda02812]

so how many years did they get

[JeT1594]

@reda02812 The husband got 90 days, The Wife got 20 days, And they both got 4 years probation.
