I agree, Child Protection Service may be quite interested in them now. They wouldn't be doing a good job if they didnt investigate these kooks .......errrrr parents

This story shows that the media is willing to believe anything and how they can make the entire country fall for it. The media elected Obama.

I'm sure plenty of balloon enthusiasts tried to inform the media about the large volume of helium required to lift a fifty pound payload into the much less buoyant air at 15,000 feet above sea level, not including the weight of the envelope and gondola.
And I'm sure the media liked the ratings better keeping the boy inside the balloon until proved wrong. The media is full of journalism majors who can be incredibly ignorant of basic physics, but they were also guilty of ignoring untold hundreds of folks who probably computed the volume of the balloon from the dimensions given and realized the boy could not have been carried up to 15,000 feet above sea level with that small of a volume of any gas.

What did Congress do while we were riveted by this story, I wonder?Let me guess...
Exactly what they were going to do even if we weren't riveted by this story?

If children are in danger because of lack of supervision...then they should get protection
They need an interview at the very least

What did Congress do while we were riveted by this story, I wonder? They quickly waved through 3 million more illegal aliens, and appointed leaders from several tribes within the African Congo to oversee our new medical system.
To: SunnyUsa
The kids supervision is their parents who want fame. Wife swap and youtube videos of their children.
I think we were punk’d.

Their jobs? This is a conservative forum! The CPS have WAY too much authority and no accountability. I wouldn’t wish them on my worst enemy! I think that CPS should be done away with. There is NO evidence that these people are abusing their kids. Being a bad parent isn’t reason enough.

Like I said. FR has some amazing posters here. They seem to always nail it BEFORE the MSM does. Kudos to all of you.

Does anyone know that the kids were doing home on a school day? Are they home schooled, were the sick, or school holiday, etc?
To: christianhomeschoolmommaof3
Shep actually just made me laugh out loud.
He called the aircraft that "jiffy pop,thing."

Thank goodness. Poor kid probably thought he was in trouble for letting the balloon go, and had no idea people thought he was aboard.

I couldn’t disagree more. Every child is in danger because of the nature of being a child. Out of impatience my son threw open the door to our van and almost stepped out in front of a car yesterday. My husband was right there! Do you think we should be investigated?
The dad was home working on this project with his children. He went inside, maybe for a drink, maybe to use the bathroom. There are LOTS of children that come home to empty houses after school everyday. You want CPS investigating you if your child has to stay at home for 10 minutes alone because you got caught in traffic. CPS is serious business and a huge violation of our rights to privacy. ONLY in cases of physical and sexual abuse should CPS have any authority.

As I said in my post #693:
I have participated in such searches of homes where only after more detailed and successive searches have found the missing child hiding under a pile of clothes in a closet.
