Anyone else think Daddy just wanted his balloon to be on TV?

Once I found out they were once on some reality show I figured someone's probably due a good False Reporting charge.

+1, I thought this was a hoax when I saw the "reunited" family in their first spontaneous interview.

The parents don't believe in grounding him

I hope all the agencies involved believe in sending the parents the bill from every agency involved.

I'm sure they were doing that. The kids was ultimately found inside a cardboard box, which was up in the attick. It would take most of us a while to get to that point. Glad he is safe!

BTW, there are already commemorative T-shirts on the net...unbelievable.

Yea, especially considering the kid was at home the whole time . . . LOL.

God bless that little fella. Hope everything is ok. Amazing how dumb some parents can be
