I don't think the parents knew that it was a hoax. For that reason, I don't think the parents should be held responsible. Kids do stupid things. I mean seriously, the parents called the police because they thought their kid was in danger.

Uh, it was a HOAX! That means the PARENTS planned this whole event. The kid was no where near the balloon.

I think they should NOT have children. At all.

Ouch, Bee. Isn't the mom just kind of overshadowed by the idiot dad's influence? I think the father masterminded this whole thing and convinced his wife that it was a good idea. As if in today's technologically run society, nobody would find out it was a hoax. Plus, they met at acting school. I mean, really? You call yourself an amateur scientist? It's good the kids probably won't be charged because it's not their fault the parents convinced them to do anything.

I feel bad for the kid's future... like you said Rimma, it's not his fault his parents suck. :(

OK. Yeah, the parents should go to jail, or at least get sued. Yes, their kids should be taken away. At first when it said hoax, I thought it meant prank. Definitely a different connotation.

The father should go to jail, but the wife shouldn't be in the same trouble as her husband. I also feel like the children should stay with the mom, but the government should watch over them more, not in foster care though.

I'm thinkin that the parents should have to pay the full amount of whatever it cost to chase the balloon, time and fuel for the helicopters. I also think that the dad should spend some time in jail or have to do a lot of community service for disrupting the airport and for what he did in general. I don't think that the kids should be taken away, however, because I don't think the kids want to go through any more than they have already.

The parents should definitely go to jail or at least get fined a lot. The consequence needs to be pretty severe since they got the national guard involved. If they wanted publicity they could have gone on a reality tv show instead of being a drain to society. The whole thing is pretty ridiculous. It wasn't the kids' fault since their dad probably forced them to go along with the plan and they didn't have a choice.
