Agree, it could have happen, where the out come could have been a lost son. Parents should be punished also for letting the boys play with it. Can you say child endangerment!!

I figure me and my siblings could have figured out how to get in this much trouble,. I mean, assuming that we had our very own flying saucer helium balloon in the back yard. I figure we would have never dreamed it being broadcast to the entire world. Can you imagine that? I assure you one thing. Once Momma caught up with us we would have got a spanking in front of the whole world as well.

I bet the parents are feeling pretty embarrassed right now.

Hear, hear. Both regarding the trouble potential AND the spanking.

I watch Wife Swap for the sheer purpose of feeling like a mature parent. Let me tell you, if you feel like a failure as a parent from time to time, just watch this show and you'll think you'll be in line for the Top 10 Parents of the Year.

When I watched the show, I saw the Heene parents provide no structure or boundaries for their boys. Richard Heene, the dad, is manic or bi-polar or psychotic. He scared ME and I don't scare easily. But he was either ranting and screaming or crying - there was no middle emotion with him. He was in a full rage or in a puddle on the floor.

The mother doesn't have a clue, and she enables the dad to chase aliens and take his family into danger.

The boy will not be punished, is my guess.

they were on larry king live last night and the little boy was asked if he herd them calling his name and he said yes and then asked why he didn't come out ..he saud because his parents told him not to because it was for the show...the parents were trying to cover up what he was saying ... It looks like a hoax

From what I've seen, they aren't embarrassed at all, they're soaking up all the attention, which seems to be something their boys have learned to do as well. There don't seem to be any adults in that family.
