Parents Of Balloon Boy To Be Charged!

balloonj__opt.jpg

Oops!

The parents of Balloon Boy are screwed!

The Larimer County sheriff is planning on filing misdemeanor charges against both Richard and Mayumi Heene for filing a false report with the police!

"We were looking at a Class 3 misdemeanor, which hardly seems serious enough given the circumstances," said Sheriff Jim Alderden during a news conference on Saturday night.

He continued, "We are talking to the district attorney and federal officials to see if perhaps there aren't additional federal charges that are appropriate in this circumstance."

A search warrant was issued for the Heene's Larimer County home on Saturday night, where officers seized a number of boxes and a computer from the home.

Do U think Richard was smart enough to wipe the drive????

Update: The Larimer County sheriff has officially declared the Balloon Boy incident a hoax!

In a press conference held Sunday morning, Sheriff Jim Alderden said the publicity stunt was a "planned event for two weeks," and if found guilty, the Heenes could serve up to six years in prison!

Serves them right!

      No, he was not smart enough. I don't think he had much time to do much before they came over lol.

      They definitely deserve to be punished, though I don't know if jail is appropriate considering that they have young children and no-one was actually harmed by their actions except monetarily. House arrest, yes. Probation and community service, yes. Hopefully the punishment will fit the crime and will also take the kids into consideration. I know these are not ideal parents, but they aren't directly abusive, and it would be less traumatic on the kids to remain with them than to go into foster care.

      even if you think you wipe the drive everything is still there, tahts why there is such a thing as computer forensics to find it.



    5. 5

      Yay, they are being charged! It sickens me the lengths people go to be famous for five minutes.



    6. 6

      your stupid,class 3 misdemeanor does not constitute jail time, just a fine and a slap on the wrist is all that this will amount too~ sad sad sad!



    7. 7

      Not up to date.

      They will be charged with one Misdemeanor and 2 Class IV felonies(for consipiracy. They are also working the the FBI and FAA to file charges for obstructing air space.

      What a bunch of stupid, crazy fucks. Those poor kids.

      Re: cheesemeister – I agree.



    9. 9

      I loved how he got all glammed up for the sucker camera crew that showed up at his house



    10. 10

      Re: cheesemeister – Apparently these parents love their kids. They have exhibited HORRIBLE judgment of course but they don't beat their kids (like, say…Khate Gosselin) or deny them basic water (like, say…Khate Gosselin) or allow the kids to beat up on each other (like, say…Khate Gosselin). True, they tried to pimp their kids out on a reality show, but so did Khate Gosselin - and she succeeded. I say, punish these parents but punish Khate Gosselin MORE!!!



    11. 11

      What a group of idiots. Those poor kids have shit parents.



    12. 12

      This is all Khate Gosselin's fault for pimping out her kids in the first place.
      *
      What I would like to know is have the statistics on multiple births increased in the past few years. I bet they have. I bet Khate Gosselin has also influenced dumb bitches into inseminating themselves with multiples. Nadia Suleman is one fallout from this, but I bet there are more.
      *
      That bitch Khate Gosselin has caused so much misery.



    13. 13

      He is not that smart…They really need to pay for all the costs involved with chasing that stupid balloon.



    14. 14

      You can put that idiot in jail but our tax dollars that were spent on helicopters and law enforcement etc we will never get back. This can teach his kids that even his father has to pay for the consequences of his stupidity. Its all about being responsible for your actions.

    17. 17

      Good, I hope these fuckers burn. What a bunch of idiots. White trash piece of shit.



    18. 18

      Yeah, I figured.



    19. 19

      can we please be done hearing about this douche family??? all that is ever on here lately is this and the fuckin' gosselins!! or gaga! please perez… i'm begging for the madness to stop!!! stop writing about these fuckers!



    20. 20

      Serves them right, is right!! I hope they get a little time, at least. To set an example. DOWN WITH FAMEWHORES!!!!



    21. 21

      From the latest pictures, it looks like the dad realized how stupid his haircut was, too. Thankfully, he buzzed his head. As for jail time… yeah, the dad definitely needs to be in jail. It wouldn't surprise me if we found out that he's physically abusive to his family, especially after the way he treated the guest "wife" on Wife Swap.



    22. 22

      white people crazy



    23. 23

      Yes, throw the book at these people and make an example of them. If we allow them to get off with a light punishment we set a precedent that it's alright to do crazy stuff like this for the sake of getting your name in the papers.



    24. 24

      I hope the death sentence is an option.



    25. 25

      HA HA HA HA!!
      They deserve it. At first glance you could tell that guy was a real Ass Hole. Love it!!



    26. 26

      They will most likely NOT serve anytime in jail due to overcrowding stated by sheriff. They basically will get a slap on the wrist and a huge fine which they have no money to pay. So pretty much nothing.

      Keep in mind that child services is involved now. Also, apparently the father has a bad temper. So bad that last night she was urged, for a long time, to take the children and go to a safe house. She refused. I think there is more that we aren't hearing if they are urging them to a safe house. I hope they really look into this matter and talk to friends and co workers regarding the kids. Maybe they do need to be taken away, or the father ordered to stay away from them.



    31. 31

      oh hell yes it was obvious it was on porpuse the parents looked way to normal in the interview not even shaken by the situation, and giving interviews to whoever they could. make them pay.



    32. 32

      stupid people.



    33. 33

      Re: joeharter1 – I c0mpletely agree with y0u……



    34. 34

      normally i would say that a non jail sentence would be better for the kids, but after watching the wife swap episode i think these parents need to be away from there kids. the kids swear, there not allowed to have any other interests otehr than science (they tried one tapdancing and the parents were shocked he had another interest), the food there served up is terrible, and here the parents are using the kids for there own fame. i hope they have a family member who can take them because these kids need to loose there parents.



    35. 35

      o i also forgot the father threw milk on the other wife in wife swap, and screamed at her, terrible temper are we sure these kids arnt in danger from him? not to mention the mother was very happy to tell the other dad that his not a real man and yell and stuff, what kinda kids are these going to be if we dont get them out now?



    36. 36

      Re: cheesemeister – i agree. but they should be punished somehow, AND pay all the manwork waisted on them looking for their "lost" child. i mean, the kids are probably already traumatized .. i feel so sorry for them . but they are abusive, i mean, who uses their kid like that? i bet that daddy won't be happy when he gets sued a 1000000 times and he'll obviously blame poor falcon. what a screwed up family…, what a screwed up world,. it makes me sick to think how people will do ANYTHING to get their 5 minutes, and in this case, infamous minutes……… i hope someone can help those kids.

      The dirtbag father should also be charged with the deaths of anyone that died during the time period that his publicity stunt took place. Imagine someone dying of a heart attack and nobody could get to them because of all of the police and ambulence workers having to attend to his child in mid air. Someone should punch this man right in the face. What a scumbag.



    40. 40

      Re: Dave Letterman - staff fucker – how good a parent you are isn't based in if you give them water and don't hit them! plz! who fucked you up? being a good parent means actually taking care of your children, caring for them, giving a good example of whats right and what's wrong. and these kids must think its fine to be a complete famwhore, to lie to the whole world to pull off a stupid, senseless stunt and spend taxpayers money on searching for a kid who ISNT LOST! i mean who does that? certainly not a good parent.



    41. 41

      anyone who goes on wife swap is crazy



    42. 42

      Re: refinnej – Thanks for clarifying…my friends were telling me that misdemeanors do not usually result in jail time.

      =========Watch Barack Obama as 00bama on www.00bama.tv=======



    43. 43

      Hope they get jail time ALL OF THEM, including the retarded ass kids. Teach 'em to fly straight.



    44. 44

      Re: Dave Letterman - staff fucker – Ok, Jon, this is about the psycho Heenes.. not the Gosselins, who are amazing parents compared to these two idiots.



    45. 45

      HIP HIP! HORRRRRRRAY



    46. 46

      I hope Richard gets it up the ass in prison and Mayumi gets shipped in an airless crate back to Japan. The kids, first of all, need to have their names changed to something remotely normal, then be adopted by Octomom for a higher level of normalcy. That about puts it all in perspective. What a bunch of fucking assholes.



    47. 47

      Why anyone would think they could get away with something like this AND have the YouTube videos that they have…. just shows you he's a sociopath. Poor kids but at the same time, would want those parents for your parents?? :(



    48. 48

      Re: Steve Drill – agreed. Those kids are walking ads for birth control.

    50. 50

      Re: YUCK – perez/his intern/sister aren't smart to realize that. It is on tv shows enough-you think almost everyone would know that nothing deleted is truely deleted forever. if you have the right people. But I am sure if perez/intern/sister even read this, he still would not realize that. So Perez, keep making inappropriate remarks about young girls, they NEVER go away.



    51. 51

      Re: cs1234 – NO. They are ALL bad parents. And Khate…. don't call me Jon….go fuck you bodyguard and abuse his wife.



    52. 52

      Re: catsmeow – sad but true. Pathetic actually. I would LOVE see them get jail time, but would be shocked if that actually happened. They are such losers.



    53. 53

      also, I would just like to know, what where these parents thinking????? lets pretend the kid is in there, they will find out no kid is in there, hopefully they will not find out we were bsing them, but we will get a show out of someone???? HOW? FOR WHAT? Idiot of the week? Honey, I lost the kid? If he wanted attention for his balloon, just let it loose, or he should have set it loose, called police, then after a short time, called and said he found the kid, not waited 2 hours. I just think this guy was so in love with his balloon, that he did not think it out. like 'they will be fascinated with the balloon and will forgive us' ? . he is not even a real scientist. He has worked as a janitor and other lame jobs, between storm chasing.



    54. 54

      Re: Dave Letterman - staff fucker – haha.. JON!!!!!!!!!



    55. 55

      They do deserve to be punished. But if you really do think about it, these people are just reflecting the way our society has changed and how people are so impressionable because of reality TV and all that crap. These idiots aren't all to blame lol.



    56. 56

      that poor sweet little boy. he vomited when he was asked to lie. i think that speaks volumes about how is conscience was bothering him. i think the parents should have some sort of child neglect charges brought against them too. that child will be scarred for life and bear the brunt of being called "Balloon Boy" forever. Poor children!



    57. 57

      As much as I would feel bad for the kids if their parents ended up in jail, the parents totally deserve it and those kids deserve better than those two idiots. Who the fuck pimps out their own kids for fame? I mean, other than the Jacksons and the Gosselins?



    58. 58

      WOW…



    59. 59

      I HOPE THIS IS TRUE. I only feel bad for the kids that they have such stupid parents.



    60. 60

      Your headline is a little misleading. The Sheriff said these charges do not usually lead to jail time, because this is their first offense AND they would rather keep prison space for violent criminals.
      Yes, these people are crooks and they should be convicted, but doesn't it say something about our society that we give so much time to a stupid balloon stunt and yet there is nothing on your web site about the the most recent soldiers to die in Afghanistan.



    61. 61

      Re: Phil-doh – No, it's not the kids that are walking ads for birth control - the PARENTS are. The kids didn't do anything wrong. The parents are to blame.



    62. 62

      Re: Angelina247

      That only applies to the possible State charges… if they get convicted on a Federal rap?

      Poor kids! Sad nobody seems to care about them in all this. Theyre blameless. Whats this delinquecy thing the cops want to charge the parents with? Now they want to brand the poor child(just 6) a delinquent? Shame on the police! Theyre innocent and that child throwing up is a sure sign of stress… And locking the parents up will devastate the children even more.

      did anybody really believe that someone was in the balloon? maybe that would say anything about our culture?!



    68. 68

      Good on the cops for calling it a hoax. When this all started I was like omg, I hope the kid isn't in there. Was relieved when it was found he wasn't. Then later the stuff started coming out. That the parents had been on Wife Swap not once but twice, that the dad had talked to TLC about a reality show, and this and that. I was like, oh whoa, no way, he wouldn't, not this. Sure enough, he would and did! The judge better throw the book at him!



    69. 69

      Re: JOCKSTRAPS What are you talking about? They aren't calling the kid a delinquent. You make absolutely no sense.

      Re: Dave Letterman - staff fucker – KAte gosselin does not beat her kids, let her kids hit eachother, and she gives them water. Where do you get your facts from, perezhilton.com!?



    71. 71

      I'd rather he NOT go to jail. He's already wasted hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars already. Housing him, maybe her too costs more, and if the kids go into foster care, thousands more. She stays out and he goes in, she'll be on welfare anyways. Fine him, brand him, then sue him. He'll be out of jail to work, and even if it takes a lifetime, he's paying back instead of sucking out from the taxpayers. Even force them apart, while he has to stay out and still work and pay child support. Whatever the case. But for Goodness sakes - throwing him in jail, while he DID cost money, would take space to keep a murderer or child molester off the street.



    72. 72

      Ok, I haven't read any previous comments related to this story but has anyone noticed that this fame whoresque family was on Wife Swap?!?!



    73. 73

      They deserve every charge they get. Dumbasses.



    74. 74

      I HOPE they do the six years and have to pay the state or county back! Oh I also hope that they're charged federally for bringing in the military! What a dumbass family! I'm sure he knows what everyone is saying about him NOW…even without cable!Re: Dave Letterman - staff fucker – AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN! I agree with you 100%!

      They won't be going to jail, most likely probation. The sheriff said it was their first offense.



    85. 85

      Re: Dave Letterman - staff fucker
      for someone who hates kate so0o much you sure do waste alot of you time taking about her. Also there is a difference between beating the crap out of your kid and spanking then, im pretty sure if she"beat" them we would know.



    86. 86

      Naw..me n my husband dont think his dumb ass was smart enough to wip e the drive…his ego is also way to over the top to do that…



    87. 87

      I still think the whole thing could be a big misunderstanding. I once had a cat taken by an owl right before my eyes. I don't think it's that far fetched that this balloon could have taken the boy up in the air and he simply does not remember. Little kids get tramatized easily. His poor father is such a handsome man, I cannot believe he would lie about such a thing.



    88. 88

      What's really worrying to me is that this guy has such a bad temper. He seems like the type who could just snap one night from all the pressure and take out his family. :(



    89. 89

      bahahaha! douche bags.



    90. 90

      Re: imsoregistered – Maybe it would make sense if you read the reports. The Sheriff said "I expect to recommend charges of conspiracy, contributing to the delinquency of a minor……". Maybe I misunderstand this but it implies that the child is a delinquent. The sheriff probably wouldnt even have a case if it wasn't for that boys HONEST outburst on tv!



    91. 91

      It's "Jiffy Pop Popcorn Time" - yahoo!!! No jail time needed just tie that Dad to the big Jiffy Bag and let him rip….tee hee!!!



    92. 92

      OMG - I'm embarassed to admit I watched Wife Swap. I knew as soon as I heard they were from that show that it was a hoax. Hope they are convicted and have to pay for the police, national guard, etc. services they used.



    93. 93

      Yep - the false police report, the resources to follow the balloon, the potential AIR TRAFFIC HAZARD - I bet the feds will be interested in how they were a nuisance up in the sky where airplanes are. I wonder if homeland security would like to talk to them - they might be considered terrorists at this point - ha!



    94. 94

      Re: Marianne Chitter Chatter – stupid meet stupid. Because he is handsome??????? bahaha wtf my IQ just drop a few digits.



    95. 95

      How Balloon Man could have done a successful hoax: he should have had his wife take Falcon on a 7 hour outing and pretend not to know where the kid is, when he releases the baloon and pretends to believe the kid is "in the baloon" that way, the kid is not in the know about the hoax, to be able to talk about it. Adults have a hard enough time trying to lie - kids are not good liars.



    96. 96

      Even if he did "wipe the drive," the information could still be mapped. Safest bet, apparently is to destroy the hard drive. Good luck doing that inconspicuously.

      I think Richard Heene is going thru a manic stage. Symptoms of mania include: Rapid speech, racing thoughts, decreased need for sleep, grandiosity, increased interest in goal-directed activities, irritability, anger or rage, delusions, hyperactivity, behavior such as questionable business transactions, wasteful expenditures of money, risky sexual activity, abnormal social interaction, highly vocal arguments, increased risk of altercations with law enforcement, high risk of impulsively, taking part in activities potentially harmful to self and others, impulsive behavior that may later be regretted, lack of judgment and insight, frequently grandiose, obsessive, belligerent, increased creativity, overly ambitious, lack of good judgment, frustrated, and frequently deny anything is wrong with them.



    100. 100

      Why does everyone have such a hate on for this guy?? He's just exploiting his kid for television..perhaps he "can't pay his bills". There is a certain show on t.v that thrives on exploiting their kids..I won't name it because we ALL know which show it is. Is it just o.k if a woman does it??Re: Dave Letterman - staff fucker – I agree with you also.
