This was all over the news yesterday as it was local- I'm glad the little boy is ok, but it does seem a bit weird that a boy that young could hide for so long undetected, or even get into the attic himself (do new homes even have walk-up attics?). I feel a bit sorry for the boy either way- if he's really that scared of his dad, I don't think that's normal.

I only watched one clip this morning, but the father was just talking about his experiments, and saying the whole family chased dust storms, etc. Maybe he just doesn't know how to respond to all the attention, but it almost seems like he was fishing around for some funding for his dumb experiments.
