Now this is just sad. Mayumi Heene, the mother of the boy who we all thought had gone missing in a hot air balloon, reportedly admitted to authorities it was all a hoax in an affidavit.
In the [affidavit], it says “Mayumi described that she and Richard Heene devised this hoax approximately two weeks earlier … she and Richard had instructed their three children to lie to authorities as well as the media regarding this hoax.”
The sheriff, Jim Alderden, reportedly is recommending that multiple charges be pressed against the parents, including contributing to the delinquency of a minor, conspiracy, filing false reports to authorities, and attempting to influence a public servant.
Fame isn’t worth all this.

These people are seriously disturbed…..
what if one day something bad actually happens to their kids? no one will believe them!
I would charge them both with endangering the welfare of a child.
I think the wife is in a controlling marriage and he hits her, she is trapped and must put up with his nonsense stuff. Poor mail order bride. So much for the American dream. Maybe this is her way out, putting all the blame on him in return for freedom?
unbelievable. and why are those kids still with them? those are some crazy parents. they went too far.
you’re supposed to teach your kids not to lie…not have them lie to get attention…what the hell is that. These people are absolutely ridiculous. I hate people who are so in need of attention. Why would anyone put their kids through that. I hope they both pay for what they’ve done.
I really feel sorry for the kids involved. Why would the parents ever think this was a good idea?
It is more pubilcity for them more people reading and watching so they get what they want. Doubt there will be much time spent in any court house. Sure there pockets are full.
total assholes
Oh dear! Oh my! Parents should show good examples to their kids…
Yeah, imagine how these kids are going to turn out! Those “parents” are idiots.
They will get what they deserve now. Unbelievable. The parents must suffer from some sort of mental disorder. Poor kids for being dragged into this nonsense.
I think they’ve been watching too many Hollywood movies. HAHA Such a$$holes.
Hahaha I was thinking the same… they were almost in the clear. They make the Gosselin’s look like perfect parents.
They almost convinced us until their son threw them under the bus!! Lol. So close…
Why are these kids still living with psycho dad?
Ha! I read “psycho dad” and this song popped up in my head. and then I remembered. Al Bundy watched the Psycho Dad show
Parents of the year!
idiots….
these ppl are disgusting, but hey their plan worked cuz ppl are STILL talking about them! :/
They almost convinced us until their son threw them under the bus!! Lol. So close…
