Jon Gosselin Is A Hazard To His Children! (Duh!)

Filed under: The Gosselins

jonpack062709a_09.jpg

Despite pointing out the blatantly obvious reasons why Jon Gosselin is a terrible role model for his children, The U.S Consumer Product Safety Commission is pointing the naughty finger at the dad of eight for having his little ones on his ATV.

Jon has been frequently photographed allowing his sextuplets to ride in his lap on his big boy toy and the folks at the CPSC are calling him out on it. They insist that it is unsafe for any two people to be riding an ATV at the same time and it is especially dangerous for any person under the age of six. (The sextuplets are just five.)

The most frightening information offered by the Commission, and we hope Jon is listening, is that: "Children are involved in about one-third of all ATV-related deaths and hospital emergency room injuries."

So while you might think you are God's gift and can do no wrong, you should take that into consideration the next you feel like a joy ride with your kids.

Oh, and maybe get them a HELMET as well!

Keep this on file, Kate!

    You've obviously never been out of the city. I was riding when I was three, and had my first four wheeler when I was five.



  2. 2

    Perez, you are a freaking idiot. I was driving a tractor on our farm when I was that age.

    You wouldn't know an ATV if you had your dick in it's tailpipe. Quit looking for reasons to hate on this guy…nobody cares!



  3. 3

    OH GAWWWD…you're reporting can be so annoying sometimes, Perez.



  4. 4

    this idiot, no wonder he is FAT, walk with the kids f*cker !!!

    Oh yeah , DONT WEAR sandals… toes as nasty enough



  5. 5

    1. It's not a big deal every dad does that to ATV, tractors, cars
    2. Cara has her own ATV



  6. 6

    Tie him down and neuter him ASAP!



  7. 7

    I grew up in the south. This is no big deal. You could ride on anything as soon as you were old enough to hold on. We sat in our parents laps and "drove" down back roads as well. He is obviously not going full speed here. You are so outta touch with reality it's not funny anymore.



  8. 8

    Kate did the same thing on EPISODE 12: Dude Ranch and Dress Up



  9. 9

    THat's ridiculous. I doubt he was driving that thing very fast.



  10. 10

    1. I love ATVs, lots of fun.. no debating that
    2. Children should be taught how to ride safely with safety pads and a helmet, never stacked on someone's lap
    3. My 17 year old cousin died in 2007 while wearing his helmet and protective gear he lost control of his ATV slammed into a tree and died a day later…. ATVs, like cars are deadly weapons when not treated with respect.



  11. 11

    ya the helmets a good idea, don't get me wrong don't like him but how many people have fun with their kids on bikes all the time and are careful….you don't see the CPS coming out to do anything to them!! Things are getting out of hand with these people w/ kids on TV!!



  12. 12

    I had a young cousin that was killed in an ATV accident. No matter how slow you are ANYTHING can happen. They should at least be wearing helmets if he chooses to take them out on rides.



  13. 13

    That is horrible he is doing that. I work at a level 1 trauma hospital and see so many kids come in from ATV accidents. Many of them have extensive brain injuries, paraplegia, or even die. If you're going to be lax enough to put your child on an ATV, then at least give them a freakin' helmet. Is he that dense or just completely doesn't care about safety?? He must not mind losing them in a custody case….famewhoring idiot



  14. 14

    She lets them ride it as well. So .. ummm… whats the point of the story again?
    Clearly youve never been across the mason dixon line, ATV's are like tricycles there.



  15. 15

    Pedo-perez



  16. 16

    Seriously?? I am form the south and this is
    very common.. plus they are on flat land and
    I highly doubt he drives fast with the kids..
    Yeah.. a helmet is nice but I won't lie..
    I never wore one..



  17. 17

    seriously? the editor of this is a dumbass. you are posting ridiculous things to make this guy look bad. first, you're against the kids letting them see their aunt and uncle, now you're complaining about them spending time with their father? get a life.



  18. 18

    Seriously? I think he is an idiot but people do this all the freaking time! My brother takes his daughters out on an ATV. This is stupid… and a waste of taxpayer money!

  19. BOKO says – reply to this


    19

    Still, an ATV-riding daddy is better than no daddy at all. Wait….What am I saying??



  20. 20

    I guess you should see millions of parents who drive those things with their kids and no helmets.

    Jeez perez, you are becoming Dr laura.



  21. 21

    Shut up Perez and get a life. You are just pulling shit out of your ass now. You complain on how he is always in the media.. but you are the one always putting him there.



  22. 22

    Perez, you know you want him! He's a good father! The pix you show of him with his children, are always FUN shots! Khate is busy screaming at them!



  23. 23

    =/ Seriously when people are in the public eye you guys have a tiff for BS. If he's not driving fats and jumping dirt humps then its perfectly safe if he allows the kids to ride WITH HIM.



  24. 24

    Oh come on! You Perez & the commission need to chill and stfu!



  25. 25

    jeeze, city folk >!?#>!$!
    I'm no fan of Jon's, but this is just a case of extemism.
    Yes, people can die from driving to fast on ATVs and being reckless, but I seriously doubt that he drives recklessly w/ his small children on the ATV.
    They make ATVs for children that have remote control stops for parents and parents can set the highest speed.
    Sounds like some people need to go out and have a little fun-you can't live your life wrapped in bubble wrap.



  26. 26

    Kate is going to take him to the cleaners in divorce court. It's not even going to be funny or fair, yet some how I will enjoy it. Perhaps this is why I decided to be a divorce attourney. Thank God I'm not Jon or Kate's! They are both headed towards a long lengthy ugly battle.



  27. 27

    what is wrong with this?? he is holding her. She is fine. people need to just leave these 2 alone. I'm sick of hearing about them.



  28. 28

    someone close to those children should request that Child Protective Services
    request supervised visitations when it's the douche's turn at parenting because
    he obviously lacks parentling skills and plain old common sense



  29. 29

    It seems like everyone is in agreement with me, but I am still going to say it. EVERY AMERICAN DAD DOES THIS WITH HIS KIDS!!!!!!! Get real!



  30. 30

    OMG .. who fucking cares ??!!!?? We rode on them all the time when we were children (we had helmets on, but we were riding hard core through the forests). Until I was 8, I had to double ride as I was too small to ride one by myself. If this was just an average family picture of one of your friends (not that you have any) you wouldn't be bitching about it.



  31. 31

    Oh for Christ sake–get over your self gay boy—you are a bigger hazzard than he is…

  32. PAH says – reply to this


    32

    This is just stupid, his kids are not in any danger. You must really be bored or it's a very slow gossip day in the Perez household!!!!!!!!!! DB;-(



  33. 33

    Everyone rides ATVs here starting when you can walk! Give me a break you are pretty closed minded.



  34. 34

    My dad wold do things like this with us kids when I was their age. People do things like this with their kids all the time because kids enjoy it. Sure, no one thinks about the consequences if something were to happen but i'm sure he was being extra careful. And let me remind YOU what you said about the fire marshals that were trying to keep your dumb ass safe!



  35. 35

    seriously…people do that all the time. i hate this guy as much as the next person, but anyone who owns an ATV does this



  36. 36

    I guess you guys missed the episode where Kate takes the 3 boys to Dude Ranch where Kate takes them all on a high speed ATV ride?

    youtube.com/watch?v=wLKVynr3HUY

    Jon is just taking pics of the kids on the ATV. It isn't MOVING at all. Take a look at the youtbe clip of Kate going FULL speed with the kids. What a IDIOT. She even allowed the Tups to street the thing while she smashed on the gas.

  42. @v@ says – reply to this


    42
