I am mad too! I turned on FOX NEWS and see something that looked like a ufo so I freaked! Then they said it was a ballon with a kid in it so I watched the news off and on all day to make sure the kid was going to be safe. Then I thought something was fishy when the kid was found hiding only after his brothers said he stayed in the balloon. Then the kid being asked about the ballon and he said it was for the show. Then 2 times in a row during an interview when asked again about the ballon he runs off and throws up! He probably had his dad scream at him for telling the truth and was scared to death to get in trouble again so he kept on throwing up. How horrible! CPS needs to be brought in to investigate.

It must have been a slow news day because that is all Fox did today. Ask the same damn question in 100 different damn ways. Who cares?

But the real question is....................Why does the world get so wrapped up in trivial happenings that can neither help or hurt me? If it was a hoax then fine, if they were telling the truth then FINE.

The kid already said it was for a show and he has no reason to lie. He is an innocent child.

That family is as nutty as a fruitcake.

A big hoax. And I hope they are billed for costs of looking for that goofy kid.

I don't believe the family's explanation but I don't care if it was a hoax or not. They found the boy and if it is a hoax the family should pay for all the expenses involved with looking for the little guy and the media should not cover the story anymore. This just keeps this family in the limelight which seems to be just what they are looking for.
