But teaching your kids that it's ok to lie and manipulate the police, etc is not abuse?

"If law enforcement arrest mom and dad in the presence of kids whether mom or dad are guilty, innocent, or somewhere in between that's child abuse," Lane said. There's no excuse for law enforcement to contact the media, to bring them out in full view of their kids on TV, and arrest mom and dad."

I don't know why they would want to avoid a public arrest. It seems like the perfect reality series episode. It's not like these people have much shame.

Why do I keep seeing those weird boxes with 0009 in them in some people's posts?

Simply by objecting to the arrest, they're creating another episode in the drama they're addicted to.

THIS is child abuse: They brainwashed their children to make a rap video calling for death to "faggots."

For which I say, death to the Heenes.

It has to do with cutting and pasting. I don't know if it's a code thing or not, but it happens a lot of the time when people cut and paste.

I think they should be happy to be arrested in public. They wanted the publicity, no? So let's give it to them.

Here's my pitch for a reality TV show:

"DOUCHEBAG DADS"
Richard Heene, Jon Gosselin, Michael Lohan, Kevin Federline...

It'll be a huge hit if the first (and last) episode entails putting them all in a hot air balloon with a leak.

Well, I was already gunning for Gosselin the lame-ass tool. The others just complete the set.

Though remember, for a while there K-Fed was considered to be the better/more stable parent in that couple, at least according to the courts.

So far this year we've seen eleven children of Caucasian/Asian heritage being exploited and treated like crap by their fame-whore parents.
