The Balloon Boy Saga

Okay so last week you heard the news of a 6-year-old boy being stuck in a balloon and floating across the skies. When authorities finally got the balloon down, there as no boy in there. While still in the air, eyewitnesses to the situation saw an object fall out of the balloon. But little did they know that wasnt the boy either. The boy was at home. When I found out the conclusion to this story, I was shocked. Why would his parents lie like this? And better yet, Why did the family make a homemade balloon in the first place? Now I look back and think about the situation, I dont think it was possible for the boy to float away. For one, you have to close a balloon and keep the air in it to float away...how could he accidently get in there? That family did that for publicity, which is pathetic. I think the parents should be charged with something because they were wasting the authorities' time. They could have been looking for some of the real kids that were missing.This shows how far people will go these days. This story is so ridiculous! I hate that the parents will have to be taken away from the kids but when you fuck up, you gotta suffer the consequences!
