You can say similar things to all the child stars. Go back and look at the child stars that are now grown up (most being around my age). Lindsay Lohan, coke head; Brittany Spears, coke head; Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, I know one of them was addicted to some drug but forget which Olsen and which drug.......The children involved with the balloon will be messed up by adulthood with or without the parents. Either the parents will mess them up, or being ripped away from their parents will mess them up, or the being in the system will mess them up. As for the John and Kate plus 8 thing, I think there should be a law prohibiting shows like that because it looks to me like their exploiting children for profit.
