My sister lives out in Ft Collins where he took off. I posted it on her FB to let me know what happens.

 

Well, the balloon is down. But, no little boy inside it. :sad:

 

I told my co-worker this was a hoax. That father's got some splainin' to do.

 

Indeed. The scary thing is it appears as though there should've been something attached to the bottom, but wasn't...

 

Man, I hope you're right. Thinking about the alternative just makes me sick to my stomach. :no:

 

Him and his brother are going to have a good laugh about this with the folks in about 10 years......

 

Story keeps getting weirder... Apparently the boy and his family were on the ABC show 'Wife Swap'. Sniff,sniff. Somethin' ain't right.

He never left.

I blame the parents.

 

Very odd story, probably a hoax when they sort it all out. But, at least the boy is safe.

 

I'm glad he's okay, but an *** whipping would be on deck. There's no 'time out' for that kind of stupid stuff.

 

and for the trouble they get an interview on tv. isnt that nice. :lol:

 

agreed, I hope the family gets a large bill for this crap.

 

For punishment, they should put his *** in hot air baloon and let the sucker fly away.

 

he was never on it

 

There's no way in hell a balloon that small could carry a kid 10,000 feet in the air.

 

By now, I'm sure everyone knows this whole thing was a hoax. And, all in an effort to try and land some kind of reality TV show? Are you kidding me?! UFB!

Don't know that I necessarily think the parents should do time, but they need to pay for this somehow. Financially of course, but also some kind of community service. And, child services needs to do a serious assessment on the parents abilities to properly care for and raise their kids.

 

F the parents, make them do time.
