I know it's all over the media and has been talked to death, but really? WHY???? Is fame really that important to some people? I'm just glad that they really didn't put the kid in the balloon. At least they had enough sense for that. What kinda nut pulls this kind of stunt and thinks they can get away with it? Poor kid was literally SICK over it after he slipped up on TV. What are your thoughts?

The father is a lunatic, no two ways about it. I just think it's funny that his son outted him on national TV :) Other than that, it needs to be out of the news because now it's just some guy who wanted to be a star and did it the wrong way and now will probably be going to jail at least for a little while.

Oh and I LOVE Raptors, I mean, seriously, they're the coolest animals on the planet, but never in a MILLION YEARS would I ever name my child after one. I get unusual names, most of the time, but some people just aren't thinking when they  pick out names....

I never even caught the kid's name. That is really his name? That is definitely different. Poor kid.

his name is Falcon. I don't think I mentioned it, but yeah, and at least he's smart enough to go into hiding when his dad is doing something stupid, so he doesn't get blamed! LOL

LOL! I thought it was Raptor! Falcon isn't as bad, but still...
