After watching the Larry King interview all I can say is... BUSTED! Funny how his dad tries to cover and stammers all over the place trying to come up with a cover-up for his son speaking the truth.

that is a really awful thing to have done, if that is the case..everyone was worried about that little one.

Wow. Just wow.

the news coverage this evening on MSNBC said that the parents actually called the local news before they called 911, that's a little odd.

Why would you call the news anyways?

To make sure they were there to see all the police cars and firetrucks pulling into the driveway for your big stunt.

This is soooo sad. I think DCFS needs to do a major investigation of this family.

They have been on some "reality" TV show twice.

You don't encourage people to show their bums. Or you get carp like this.

Oy vey

The video of the "balloon take off" is sooo staged.

Seriously whats the chances of catching the balloon take off on accident? It was an accident right?

I feel awful for thinking that this family staged this act, but that is the way what appears to have happened. I hope that I am wrong because that would be a horrible way to use your very young son.


I saw part of Wife Swap on youtube. The father seemed to have a very bad temper. He threw milk on the woman who was staying in his home. Granted, the woman was annoying but so is everyone on that show.

yeah...something is waaaay suspicious..

I hope he gets some charges out of this..and DCF takes a hard look at these people..
AND..i didnt see any basket, did you guys??

I just saw that video on the news again today and I looked very close...I really didn't see any basket. That's why I was so confused about where they thought the kid was inside of the balloon!
