Last week this story caught my eye. It shocked me to find that people thought this young boy, Falcon Heene, was inside this flying saucer-esque balloon, when in fact he was "hiding in the garage". Now this story is all the media is talking about. I personally think it was all a hoax, as do most of the media stories I read. This story is of national importance because the military became involved, and thousands of dollars were wasted for a bogus emergency. It appalls me that anybody could make up such an incredible to attempt to get attention for a reality show. Where have our morals gone, people?
Yes, these parents are horrible. They involve their children in commiting criminal acts, just to achieve fame and notoriety. The boy, and now the mother, indicate that the hoax was created in order to make themselves marketable for a reality tv show. The sad thing is that they are receiving exactly the amount of attention they wanted (and will probably make numerous tv appearances in the future). So, while I'm disgusted by them, I also disgusted that the media is so focused on this story. They are giving this family exactly what it wanted, and ignoring stories of real importance.
