That's not good. Stupid parents, way to just leave this in a place where your kids can get to it easily unsupervised.

yep, the mother and father are ex-reality show h00rs. They are just trying to get publicity by talking their own kid to helping with these stunts. They were on 2 talk shows today and when the same question was asked of his father, the kid took that as the cue to say he wanted to vomit and proceeded to look like he was. I think the parents should face a misdemeanor as a result, as that is the max they could get.

HOAX!

Haha, never rely on the acting skills of a six-year-old! I just hope they don't punish the poor kid for spilling the beans in that first interview.

And the parents are indeed facing felony charges... not to mention having to pay for the resources used in the search.

I felt really worried when I saw the balloon on TV. With the way it was leaning to one side and spinning around, it was easy to imagine the kid might be inside.

[Rev.Reverence]

... book'em Dano...

[darknight1]

Attention whores indeed. Why anyone would want to willingly risk felony charges over promoting a reality show is beyond me...
