I really do understand that these horrors boys are minors and not responsible for their own actions. That does not stop me from wishing they had been strangled in their cribs.

Evidently, the whole family is nuttier than squirrel shit, in addition to being terminal attention addicts. The father, Richard Heene, has been suspected of spousal abuse, but no suspicions have ever risen to the standard of evidence sufficient to make a charge stick:

"The Larimer County Sheriff's deputy who went to the home said he heard a man yelling and, once inside, noticed Mayumi Heene had a mark on her cheek and broken blood vessels in her eye. She said it was because of a problem with her contacts.

Richard Heene said he was yelling because his children stayed up past their bedtime.

The deputy concluded he didn't have probable cause to make an arrest, but believed a physical altercation may have occurred. No charges were filed.

It was one of three 911 calls made from the home within the past year, but the only one in which a report was filed."
