Isn't it more like the dad should be tried for being a child? :D

Home made balloons and calling media first...

Sheriff: Charges will be filed in balloon saga

Charges?  They should get an Emmy.

Wonder what charges will be brought?  Creating a public disturbance?

They probably have a charge related to making a false emergency services call.

Sounds like felony charges.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I'm pretty sure a false 911 call would be a felony.  Incidentally, I wonder how embarrassed the police officers are over initially claiming they believed it wasn't a hoax.  Reality show actors are attention whores?  NEVAH!!!

Will they be considered a flight risk?
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Apparently they actually thought it was a hoax all along, and certainly were convinced after the kid's cute slip up on CNN, but misled the family in order to trap the parents in the lie.

:lol: There's serious doubt now as to whether they'll be able to (make) bail. ;)

That's what I assumed back then.  Either that, or they couldn't sound accusatory before officially filing charges.  After the kid's slip, I never believed for a moment that the sheriff or any other cops that were asked about it were as naive as they sounded.

From what I have read, they are saying all these naughty little things are all misdemeanors and carry no jail time. :blink: Unless the Feds charge them with something.

Can anyone with some law knowledge confirm this?
