I don't blame the boy at all...be it the truth is he was hiding because he was afraid or he hid because his dad told him to so they could do this publicity stunt

Anyone see the mythbusters episode where they lifted a little girl with helium balloons?

There's no way this balloon could have carried that little boy away.

Well, the police have made their press conference, they are looking to charge the parents...GOOD. I think they should tack on child neglect for making him stay in a box for hours

I kinda feel bad for that kid, he'll be known as Balloon Boy for the rest of his life. High school's gonna be hell for him.

Hey, if it wasn't that, the kid's name is still "Falcon". He was going to have trouble either way.

I hope the parents DO get charged. They fooled (nearly) an entire nation into believing that their kid was in extreme danger. I do feel bad for the kid though.

Neighbours of the Heene family have now come forth, sharing their disgust at having been betrayed and used in the scam. One neighbour was quoted as saying: "I hugged [mother Mayumi Heene]. She seemed genuinely frightened...After hearing it's a hoax, I, like everyone, am angry over that".

Sounds like a very twisted family, chasing fame and walking all over their friends in the process.

:D Poor Eeyore. He doesn't care for publicity.

I'd just like to say that this is my first post here on UD! :) I'll hopefully have some fun talking about the latest and greatest to you guys.

On this balloon boy saga, they ought to punish that Richard Heene. I can just tell in his eyes that he's an egotistical moron. :roll:

One time he came out to the press with a box, telling the newspeople there to put their questions in it. When they did that, he put the box by his front door and just left it there. And did anyone know that he also made his own theme song singing his scientific brillance?

Right after the balloon floated away, he called the news station instead of 911. You can't make this stuff up.

It is a good name:

(To The Tune Of EW&F dancing in September0

I pretended
My son was in a balloon
That Ascended
Got The Police and the Public In A Tizzy
But the kid was
Just In A Box
Drinking A Soda That Was Fizzy

Chorus: Ba-De-Ya I'm A publicity whore
You can wait but you won't learn more
I'm Keeping The Truth From You
