Full Version: Balloon lands after 6-year-old boy seen getting in
This is a horrible story. I just hope they find the kid okay. Doesn't sound good. I can't believe that the parents even allowed this to happen, but what can you expect from an F'n nutcase that is building a UFO in his back yard.
Update: They found the kid hiding in a box in the attic. He was never in the balloon.
The parents dodged a bullet on that one. I wonder if he cut the balloon loose and then knew he screwed up and was hiding because of it.

I'm willing to bet that's exactly what happened.

Now hopefully the parents are held accountable and given the bill for the large amount of money they cost us (taxpayers) for this whole ordeal that could have been avoided if the parents didn't think keeping this balloon in the backyard was a good idea.
Saw this on the news earlier while the balloon was in flight... didn't think it was real
I just saw these people on Wifeswap....what the hell...life imitates reality TV

I think its a publicity stunt......
When I first saw the pic of the balloon, I thought we might have been being invaded
It's been confirmed that it was a hoax, and the father will likely be arrested soon.

LOL. I was watching the news and they channel I was watching just painted him as some TV craven monster. It was pretty funny, usually when the news adds their own flare and paints a picture for you I don't like it because it isn't giving a chance for the viewer to form his own opinion, but in this case it was hilarious.
