Actually, on topic, I'm pretty much convinced it was a hoax. The family has a history of attention-whoring behavior. I think, at this point, that the kids need to be removed from that environment and put with better examples of how adults behave. I doubt the Sheriff's Dept. really believes it wasn't a hoax, I think they're in CYA mode now.
