Hi Gregg,

Welcome to Imperfect Women. We talk about a variety of things here because – well that is kind of what this site is about.

It kind of looks like the criminals got a piece of your time also.

We appreciate your comment and hope you stop by again.

People , why are we even giving these people our time now, there is a war going on , people are jobless,people losing their homes ,etc…….Just lock these people up and be done with it. Why do simple things take so long in America. Now these criminals are getting what they wanted , your time.

The dad is so crazy. I have no idea how to help children in a situation like this. I hope CPS acts accordingly in their best interest. I would think that both parents are looking at some jail time. Maybe not, maybe the mom will end up on some sort of probation or something. It was all so insane.

I just watched the clip above and I have to laugh at the media analyst talking about people wanting to be on TV. I wonder if he counts? Or the news anchor? They ARE on TV after all.

Now here we just might have a case for Children and Youth.
By the time I got home to research this news item, the balloon boy had been found. Aww, six is sooo young to have to help a parent lie. This makes mem sad for the poor kid.

Once, I was with a child with suspicious marks on her face, and I asked her how she got hurt. She whispered, “I am not supposed to tell my teacher.” I reminded her that I wasn’t her teacher, so she told me the truth. She told her teacher an entirely different story. She was so relieved to have followed the directions, but also to have someone to confide in. She was six too.
