Parents Risking Kids' Safety For Profit?

Critics ponder motives behind stunts involving children

Did the parents of teen mariner Abby Sunderland go to far in allowing her to attempt a death-defying sailing trip around the world solo?
Media outlets from ESPN to the New York Post cast serious question over how much Laurence and Marianne Sunderland expect to cash in after their daughter had to be rescued out of the Indian Ocean. This begs another question: shouldn't they have to repay the sea-going forces for the expense of recovering this selfish stunt from disaster?
Haven't we all _ as Psychology Today suggests _ already experienced one "Balloon Boy" episode too many in this "reality TV" culture we're mired in?
