Apparently, DaddyDearest is in the habit of putting the kids in danger, and other people are stepping forward to say so. I think that's the reason the Child Protective Services is involved.

The guy looks like a loser and a really crummy dad, alright. But what has he been doing to put the kids in actual, physical danger? I hadn't heard anything on what else he'd done to endanger the kids.

His former business partner: "...part of the reason my co-host Scott and I split from him is because we felt Heene put his kids in the line of fire a bit too much"... "The last straw for us was when Hurricane Gustav and Hurricane Ike were heading toward the Texas coastline and Heene wanted to go back there and take the kids," she said. http://abcnews.go.com/Health/MindMoodNew...tory?id=8839052

He takes the kids tornado-chasing on motorcycles: http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Balloon+family+courted+danger+lived+edge/2107555/story.html

I don't believe in overprotecting kids, but the other extreme doesn't seem very desirable, either.
