To gabbieshell, I hope I am not sure where you are going with your comment. There is no doubt that the father hit the mother. There is classic denial which is common in domestic violence cases. The dad needs punishment and treatment. The mom also needs therapy to help her with self esteem issues resulting from the abuse.Physical pain goes away but, phycological pain may not. What I do not get is what Hayden has to do with it. She was not home when the incident occurred. You have no idea how she is trying to support her mom. This money for the homeless person is a tabloid lie. You must be quite gullable. She at her young age has proven to be very giving as well as a very passionate envirnmentalist. She is very respected and well known for being a class kid. I have never seen Heroes and probably will not but, your protest because of a rummor in a tabloid is weak. I hope I read your comment wrong otherwise if I did not. Grow up.

A BIG MISUNDERSTANDING lol Isn't that what ALL battered wives say? It was an accident, he didn't mean to do it, it was her fault?? Face it, you people are like everyone else, you aren't above domestic violence just because your daughter is a celebrity, and she's not a good role model either, she couldn't even spare 20 bucks to a homeless person, it might break her to give a little out of her millions. I stopped watching Hero's when I heard that, I was disgusted by her behavior as I am by the denial behind this domestic violence issue. And OJ never hit Nicole either, look where she is now!

GOOD, IT IS NEVER ACCEPTABLE TO ASSAULT A SPOUSE. JAIL THE BULLY AND THROW THE KEY AWAY.

poor kid. who would want to get a phone call from their old man asking for bail money?
