throw mayonnaise on that woman from Trading Spouses? If he did that to me he would have faced assult charges! My hubby couldn't get away with that, I sure as heck wouldn't let a stranger do it.

Sorry, but he has a temper. I wondered if he does that to a stranger what does he do to his wife when he gets mad. All because she didn't want them to eat meat. Ok, it's for a few days or whatever the time is so it's going to kill you? And he does it with the cameras rolling for millions of people to see.

Either Trading Spouses is faked or the people who go on that show are stupid.

You know when that story first came out I was like dang those people look familiar. Just yesterday I saw that they were on Wife Swap and it all came back to me. He was a huge jerk and those kids were out of control.

yep, i watched that episode, to say the least it was CRAZY!! the whole family was a psycho circus!

Did ya'll see today where he was holding a news conference and he told the reporters to write their questions and put them in a box and he'd review them and answer them this evening. I believe the kid when they asked him why he didn't come out of the closet and he said he did it for the show. I think this was a publicity stunt to get them a reality show, They said the dad was going around trying to get a reality show before this happened with his son.

I think it was a set up too!

On tmz.com a man that worked with the dad said he was obsessed with becoming famous and doing something to get his own show.

Criminal charges were filed against his today.

I'm suprised ABC is not re-running that episode of Wife Swap.

I hope they throw the book at mom & dad.
They definately need to pay for the "resuce"., I read the 2 helicopters alone, cost $14K.

I was telling dh they should have to pay that back if found guilty. They will only be charged with misdeanors however. But remember that "runaway" bride who made it looked like she was kidnapped or something like that. Didn't the city etc. sue her to pay back money for searching etc.?

They had to close Denver's airport for a time didn't they? At least runaway bride didn't stop planes and ruin people's schedules. They are trying to find who else was in involved in the stunt.
