| Balloon Hoax
Was watching CNN and there was breaking news that a 6 yr old boy got into his parents experimental aircraft that looks like a giant aluminum foil balloon!!! The parents went in the house and left the boys in the backyard playing. The 6 yr old climbed in and it is said that somehow the ropes came loose and the balloon took off with him in it!!!  The balloon traveled anywhere from 80 to 100 miles away. It was never meant to go any higher than 20 feet high, but ended up getting as high as 700 feet I believe. At some point during the footage the CNN staff got a report that someone felt that the boy may have fallen out of the aircraft. When it landed in a field they had many police and an ambulance and after alot of work to get ahold of the balloon it was announced that the little boy was not in the balloon. Now they are looking for him. My question is this, why in the world would the parents build something like this in the backyard without stablizing it in a way that would prevent this situation? Children are curious and no matter what the parents may have told them to prevent this, they should have taken precautions to make sure a situation like this would not happen. After all, kids will be kids!!! What do you all think?

Yay! He was probably scared, they said he was hiding in the attic. So much for the Sherrif's searching the home.

Was this a publicity stunt? Or did the Dad want to test his balloon to see how high and how far it would go? He would know he couldn't let it go without having to deal with the FAA & Homeland Security so he staged this little incident. What do you think?

The sheriff says there will probably be no charges filed, but I think they should make the family pay for all the work and money it took to go on this stupid chase. They had 2 military helicopters/planes in the air that were over 5K an hour to use. The one that cost $4,600 an hour was up there for 4 hours! Anyone who watched this family on Wife Swap would probably agree with me that it was a stunt. They are out of their minds.

Totally agree with you. I think they should be charged, at least the father anyway and protective services needs to investigate this family. They should definately be made to pay the money back!!!

The boy outed the parents saying that this was done for a TV show. He said this last night on Larry King. Also the reason it took them so long to find him was that he fell asleep in the box up in the attic

If this was a stunt done for publicity shame on them. I watched it live for about an hour yesterday scared and worried for this kids life up until the rescuers grabbed a hold of the ballon and notified that noone was in the aircraft. I dont think anyone should use their kids in a ploy to get more than their five minutes of fame. Im sorry if i sound cruel but its unfair for others that have feelings and watched every moment of it hoping the kid was ok. I even started crying when i saw the ballon near the electric poles. No matter what the reason was for this im so GLAD that little boy is ok and not hurt.
