It pisses me off too. This family is getting such publicity for endangering their kids and just being plain stupid. It kind of reminds me of the TSA blogger thing, they’ll do anything to get attention.

I agree with everyone that this father (if you can even call him that!) is a total wacko! He’s obviously in this for his 15 minutes of fame, esp since he and his family were already on “Wife Swap” a year ago. But the absolute worst part for me was watching this little boy throwing up in a bucket on TV while they kept doing live interviews on Good Morning America, etc. I mean, the little boy was throwing up in a freaking bucket and they still didn’t pause the interview to help him! Just grab a bucket and a rag – he’ll be ok! WTF??? Poor kid was probably so upset because he had to lie that he got sick to his stomach. Apparently the dad is a real loser toward his wife too. His friends told the press that he yells at his wife in public and basically treats her like dirt. I think he should get arrested for this stupid prank and while he’s sitting in jail, his wife should pack her and the kids stuff up and GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE!!!

These people are starved for attention, money, fame, whatever. And people like that are sad, unhappy, and pitiable . They should be ashamed of whoring their kids out to the media, ashamed of tying up the time of officers, 911 personnel, etc. that have REAL jobs to do. They should be ashamed of teaching their kids to LIE, but they should be proud of their son for ratting them out! If some nut at a T.V. station somewhere ever gives them a show, I say we refuse to watch it so they will GO AWAY. Like Octomom, like Jon and Kate: stop watching, people, and they will go away

Yeah, kinda got sucked into this from the beginning and went through the same set of emotions as you: fear, terror, empathy, anxiousness, excitement, pissed off at those making cracks, then come the anger and rage at this family. To use their children and their family as a means to get a little more fame. Sad sad sad. I hope they get slapped with some hefty charges and disappear from the media’s eyes.

I was lucky and missed all the stuff about this on the tv. My daughter was the one who first told me about this.

I think they should be fined at the bare minimum. Somehow repay all the services that they used. Etc Etc….I would be soo pissed if I was dealing with this at work, while other true emergencies were going on.
