Susan - Is the sentence fair? No, it's not fair to the first responders who were tricked into wasting their time, resources and money because this family was seeking fame and fortune. It would be reasonable to have levied a very large fine and to ask the father to reimburse the agencies and organizations that he pulled into his stunt. I don't have enough information to comment on their suitability as parents, so I will only comment on the harm they caused to the men and women who risk their lives for public safety. They don't deserve and can ill afford to have to absorb the costs associated with this publicity stunt. Thanks for asking! Pat
