The Parenting Chat

The parents of “Balloon Boy” Falcon Heene appear – without their children – on cnn’s “American Morning” the morning after their son was thought to be in a runaway balloon flying over Colorado. In this portion of the interview, Roberts confronts the parents for letting the kids use salty language in their youtube videos. “The kids us the P word, that was made famous by George Carlin; they also utter the F-word, and the other F-word that derogatorily refers to homosexuals, and I’m just wondering, what is that all about?” asks Roberts, who then claims that he had heard the following lyrics: “the faggot up in the tree about to pee on me.” Richard claims that they were saying Falcon’s name. “Our rule is our kids can cuss in the house,” Richard explains. “They’re not allowed to cuss outside.”
