Someone's in Trouble

I think by now everyone is aware of the infamous balloon hoax perpetrated by Richard and possibly Mayumi Heene. How the unstable father of 3 conspired to trick the nation into thinking his 6 year old son Falcon ( someone is going to be beaten up a lot in school while growing up!) had taken off in a runaway homemade weather balloon. When in fact he was safely at home and not in the attic as it turns out, as originally claimed, but somewhere his parents were aware of. Thus the whole thing was a poorly thought out publicity stunt gone horribly wrong and now the parents of said hoax are going to be facing some serious legal troubles, possible imprisonment and some hefty fines upwards of $500,000.00. Police are currently in the process of going through the family's computer records and personal documents to see if there are any more pieces of evidence pertaining to their hoax and more examples of willful fraud.


There is also heavy speculation that the kids will be taken away or placed in protective custody along with their mother. Who earlier police reports suggest has been the victim of domestic violence at least once in the past. When police officers responded to a frantic 911 call and found a bruise on the mothers cheek and a burst blood vessel in her eye, which she claimed was from her contacts lenses. Which anyone who has contact lenses knows is pure bullshit! It is very hard to burst a blood vessel in your eye, you need to be hit or a have a lot of pressure applied to it and contacts just do not do that on their own. Plus if anyone has seen the Henne family on ABC's Wife Swap, then they know the father is an extremely volatile person if no outright insane. Resorting to shouting and playing the harmonica at one point when his temporary wife lectured him on his bizarre and irresponsible behavior and how damaging it could be for his kids to grow up in such an environment. He is also desperate for media or world wide attention, and would stoop to almost nothing in order to receive it.


So time will only tell what is to become of this very bizarre and unstable family, especially if the wife is not willing to report abusive behavior. Though if it were up to me I would sit everyone down in the family and make them take a lie detector test. I would also specifically ask the wife if her husband abuses her or his children and I would have a child psychologists interview all of the children to see if they are other signs of abuse as well. Mental or emotional, for while I think the husband is a monster, I do not think he is that kind of monster. Or at least I really hope he is not for all concerned.
