It’s a family hunting for a gravy train, and they don’t care who or what is lied about, it seems.

I’ve always thought gravy trains were a grotesque mental thought.

This is another case where no one is coming out looking good. The parents look like they are trying for a payday. But the charges have focused attention on past accusations against Busfield and Busfield’s past conduct, which looks pretty creepy. I’m not taking a side in this one other than praying that the kids come out of it OK. They either were molested, which is horrible, or they are being manipulated by horrible parents, which is horrible too.

Due to the unusual position he was in, the dining room chair collapsed, he fell and hurt himself:

Rodis said his two children were playing in the living room and one of the boys called out to Rodis. "In response, Rodis turned his upper body and his head to his right and backward, looking over his right shoulder, leaning onto the backrest of the dining chair," the paperwork alleged. "As he did, the dining chair collapsed, and Rodis fell backwards onto the tile floor.

TMZ has released taped interviews with both boys telling police initially that nothing happened. He’s claiming disgruntled mother and father forced the kids into saying the opposite to a therapist and it’s all a shake down.

Citing court records, the motion said the father (of the boys) is a former attorney who pleaded guilty to federal conspiracy and wire-fraud charges related to a multimillion-dollar mortgage-modification scheme in which he used his law license to defraud more than 1,500 homeowners of approximately $6 million. As for the mother, the attorneys said she had been sued multiple times, including for $400,000 in unpaid gambling debts, allegedly passing bad checks and allegedly selling someone a Bentley Convertible GT for $91,000, then trying to illegally repossess it.
