Watching the kid’s video on Youtube told me all I need to know about their upbringing. The parents are nuts and I wouldn’t put this past them.

IMHO this child has no idea what is real and what is ‘show’.

Time for the father to give up his dream of fame and fortune and give his kids a normal family life.

The media outlets that aired this nonsense (and were derelict in discerning the veracity of this story) are utter ——s, and hypocrites in the wake of “BALLOON BOY.”

They are fools beyond belief: but according to their self-importance- blameless.

I just watched the video. If that would have been my dad, he would have stopped the video and took everyone of them to the cellar. It would not have been pretty.

Lets see...this family was on a reality type tv show.
The boys were filming for their “show”.
What do we have to look forward to from Jon and Kate’s kids?

Why is Drudge this article claiming the incident as a Hoax?

The boy was hiding in the attic after getting scolded earlier for being in the basket.

What is discipline like in this home? This kid hid in the attic because his dad yelled at him. The father claims he'll never yell at his kid again.

This wacky family named their son “Falcon.” Wonder if they wanted him to soar in the sky.

Fox new poll asking if the Heenes should pay for emergency services. 51% say yes, 43% say maybe; yes if an investigaton shows it to be a hoax. Public opinion is not good!

My opinion:

Balloon Boy is a hoax.

Balloon boy dad will be sued by government agencies inolved in the search.

Balloon boy dad will have a book written about him and a made for TV movie, where he will have the income to pay off the lawsuits.

Balloon boy dad will be charged with misdemeanor filing of false police report.

Balloon boy story will occupy all of the weekend news shows and generate ratings boosts.

Balloon boy story will detract from the real story of Obama taking over our healthcare, which Obama will highly appreciate.

I, like many others was extremely interested in the coverage both in the USA and Canada. The two Canadian monoliths did a good job of at least showing some excellent coverage. The word associated with the old fashioned manned balloons was the "gondola".

It is easy to work things out in hindsight. At that time the vital information did not seem to be given out by the family. This was to the effect, that was the whole thing enveloping the helium gas? It was that sort of bucket shape at the bottom that still (but maybe has), not been identified properly. A story was put out that a basket had been attached to the balloon. Even someone thought they saw something fall. An immense effort was made by search and rescue people. If it was part of the whole thing, then the helium would have escaped on any entry.

Lastly, I heard Glen Beck call the man who rushed in with a spade as a "dufus". I presume the man wanted to puncture the balloon so it could not be dragged by any wind. Beck is one of those who stands by. Mark that I do not mention any favourable political views he has. Just that he knows all- in retrospect.

The male parent is a combination turd & attention whore, the female parent is a compliant enabler, and the children are screwed up for life.
