To Stacy who wrote the paragraph below. do you know proper grammer or english? Do you know how to spell? As a matter of fact have you graduated from highschool or even the 4th grade?

the heene family punishment should be made an example for the rest of the american people. If anyone else has a stupid idea and has intentions of acting on it rest assured you will have a severe punishment comming your way. people of america… get a grip on life and quit watching stupid reality shows. You just add to the problem.

I feel that the kids should go to family pep that care about them.keep that man off tv thats what he wants and hey what about her we have herd her talk this hole time but what about her?
this is what this man want’s to be on tv and the news is giving him what he wants.the kids are probily thinking they are in the wrong. what kide of truble did that lil boy get in to from his father?Yes a big fine and a long probation and hey maybe even a pop in visit from the state yes but to give them jail time and use pepole paying for his meals no he should be paying the state for all there time they have spent on this case. I think it is time to keep him off are tv’s. If it is this ez to get a reality show evryone will be coming up with crap to get on tv.

they should lose their kids. the parents are rediculous and insane. by the way does the wife have a green card???? send the kids back to china.
send the parents to prison and fine them the half million. they ruined honest working peoples day having the airport shut down and the military comming out. do they realize how many people missed a flight to a business meeting or something else important. i am furious with these brainless fools. LOCK EM UP!!!!

Ever heard of our Constitution or our Bill of Rights.

This family doesn’t need to be ripped apart over this but there are people out there who think so. Obviously they don’t know the trauma those children will go through if they are put in foster care.

I just don’t understand why people are so quick to destroy a family no matter what. Those children were not abused even if it was all a hoax. Stupidity is not child abuse. Those kids looked very happy to me.

No child was hurt in this act. Children do this every day on TV and they get paid for doing it.

I think so many American people have been brain washed and conditioned into believing that children are better off in foster care. To many children today are in foster care and they want nothing more then to go home to their own family. They have been more abused, neglected and totally traumatized by being torn from their home with parents who love them and placed with strangers then they have ever experienced at the hands of their own parents. There are no perfect families so if they are allowed to steal children from this family who are not abused then what makes those who want this to happen think that they won’t be next?

Stupidity, poverty, homelessness, dirty dishes, having Oodles of Noodles on Thanksgiving, a child born with a birth defect, witnessing a parent being assaulted by a spouse, toys out of a toy box, a child slips out a closed door and not seen by a busy parent, this list can go on and on but they are not reasons to place children into foster care. These are the thousands of children who are being stolen from their homes everyday and cry every night for mom and dad. These are children who want to be heard but are silenced by the courts and CPS.

Doing physical harm and placing a child in harms way is child abuse. What that father might have done to hoax the people did not harm his children. If convicted of committing a crime by calling the police and starting a search frenzy well then make him pay back the cost it incurred by his insensitive and stupid act. He might have even given those rescuers some good training but to take their children because of it. That is just crazy and sounds more like communism to me. He didn’t ask for the media to do what they do. They did it for the ratings. Maybe someone should look into their family due to their gullibility.

I vote they should not lose their children on this alone. Can these folks be any worse than Michael Jackson or Brit. Spears as parents? Maybe an investigation into whether there is any abuse is wise, but they just seem a little cooky. I work at an elementary school and these kids look happy for the most part. Give these folks the benefit of the doubt. Remember Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the wierd inventor dad? He was quite loving, even if the Victorian world disapproved.

The father who is orchestrating this whole circus and wasting tax payers money (note the country is not out of the recession just yet) is clearly having a mid-life crisis and needs some attention. Before I found out all the facts about this story my guess was that he was a wanna-be actor, and I was right! It’s a sad commentary on the values of our society that is bombarded with fluff tv that is mostly comprised of reality shows. How about a reality show about humanitarian issues where viewers can tune into see how they can help society? The father is a loser that needs a reality check and not a reality show, perhaps a little jail time will be the solution.
