  • Their reality show is going to be in guantanamo bay along with everyone else who disrupts society

  • he's only 6 but he should be beaten with a night stick

    hahahahahahah

  • that douche of a dad is gonna get what he wanted alright.. a reality tv show.. and its gonna be called reality prison

  • The name of there show should of been Meet The Fart Knockers!!

  • Sure, the police got distracted and the national guard dispatched two helos. That's their fault, isn't it? I mean, when one kid goes missing in a damn blimp, they send the national guard. How many kids go missing every day? And in how many of those cases do they dispatch helicopters? Apparently the wrong ones.

  • The difference is that the kid, as far as they knew, wasn't missing he was floating. Other "missing" childerens' where abouts are not known. Think of it this way, if you knew a 10 year old had stolen a helicopter do you think that the national guard would be sent, why yes they would. Despite how silly it sounds a child, or any person, who is not permitted to fly above a city is considered a threat.

  • I hope that family dies :)

  • i hope so too, more so that fucking idiot father. hes a crazy asshole. and the wife. but the kids are being brainwashed by them. they need to be taken away

  • 0:32

    They appeared on "U t00bs!"

  • you need to get off "U t00b" for being retarded.

  • My comment was funny and witty, yours was just lame and pathetic...grow up.

  • You're 28 and you're going to pull this dumbass shit. Bluntly put, your mom must be proud, and you have ruined my faith in humanity.

  • What are you even mad about?

  • charge the prick and take his kids charge his wife bitch as well make him pay all the cost related to this hoax

  • Dick and May, at this point, might wana make a public apology. After which they can apologize to their children.

  • His father looks like fag. Probably their marriage is a hoax?

  • Haha knew it was all a hoax

  • yeah totally the 'you tubes'....haha lol, too funny. especially when you play it back a few times!

  • damn that guy and his wife just fucked him there kids life forever... so selfish.

  • 00:34 "The YouTubes" lol

  • Yea thats right!!! My video of me an Irish man journeying around the USA is on my channel.

    Im uploading my Middle East video where i am in Bethlehem for Xmas Day soon.

  • pay back the taxpayers hard earned money you scum bags

  • "You- tubes" is a common noun meaning; short internet videos usually made for fun.

    Oxford English dictionary.

  • balloon boy was an INSIDE JOB

    IMPEACH OBAMA

  • can you let them pay for all the costs incurred for this fake emergency

  • wow. how many police and public service people were there to "rescue" that balloon??? what a waste of money.

    the family should be made to pay all those peoples' wages for the "rescue".

    does ANY even think that a 6yr old boy could have been in that balloon???

    geeze!

  • I know right, I don;t think nobody could fit in that thing

  • Media is just realizing this was a hoax? DUH! I and millions of others figured that out from the moment they saw this nonsense. Talk about figuring things out a little late here. Anyway I am glad they are going after the crazy loons and their kids. This was such nonsense. Media should be charged too for wasting all our time with this. Why was this even a big story? The whole thing was just nonsense. Please put the father in jail. Enough of these nuts. Waste of time and space people like that.

  • I was never fooled by these people. They suck at acting, if they took acting classes they had better go back for more lessons!!! Their crys were so fake!!! I am glad to see the police admit that they were wrong and charges will be laid. Barb

  • Who the hell would do this???!!!???!!!

  • In one interview you hear the kid actually say he did it for a show. Dad step in to shut him up. That was the second day of this crap. They should make this couple pay the cost of what was spent looking for this kid and the manpower. Why should the tax payers have to pay for this hoax?

  • I waste time, money and everything else. I fail at being a father. I fail at being a human being. I simply FAIL!

  • Why would anyone name their kid Falcon?

  • Probably for this stunt!

  • ...total moron, the father. How could he be in his right mind to embarrass and disgrace himself, his wife and his children; and now, face the potential of being a convicted felon?

  • the only hoax is porky the pig jim alderden who is obviously out to get his own reality show bragging about his department and his full jail- what a 'tard' big mouth publicity seeker.

  • The punishment should be actually throwing the family on to a hot air balloon.

    Let them float around for a few days.

  • Old geezer Sheriff FAIL

    "Several reality television shows, and on YUTOOBZ

    has no clue what youtube is..

    :32

  • idiot

  • "Any last words?"

    "Yeah, I wish I didn't hide my boy in the attic, and tell the media he was in a balloon"

    "Roll on 2"

    "fgndgndkgnkdfngkjdndhgkjdghkj­dhgk.

  • too bad they don't still use the Electric Chair.

  • i hope those fuckers die. when i first heard the news about the kid on the balloon, i was like" holy shit". but since i heard it was a hoax, it pissed me off.

  • The poor little kid is so stressed out that he is vomiting on live tv. The dad is a monster bc he just keeps talking over his kid while he's throwing up. And now the kid is gonna have a complex bc he was forced to tell this horrible lie AND he screwed up so now he's gonna think he broke up his family. The parents are absolute monsters.

  • the dad is an idiot to the n'th degree.

  • These people make me sick.

  • i dont get why ppl actually thought that balloon would even float with a six year old in it, i watched myth busters about a year ago and they tested how many helium balloons will be able to lift up a 4 year old and i cnt remeber exactly how many balloons they used but it was something like the movie UP, alot of balloons so its clearly a freaking hoax.

  • F-tard sheriff is a lauphing stock

    it became clear to 'us'

    what a tard

  • I don't want them to go to jail. The fact that they have to pay millions back in wasted resources is justice enough. Way to saddle your family with crushing debt for fame.

  • They should be punished to the full extent of the law. They used their child for their own personal gain.

  • CLASS 4 FELONY

    $2,000-$500,000 Fine and 2-6 years Jail

    CLASS 4 FELONY

    $2,000-$500,000 Fine and 2-6 years Jail

    CLASS 6 FELONY

    $1,000-$100,000 Fine & 1-1 1/2 years Jail

    CLASS 3 MISDEMEANOR

    $50-$750 Fine and up to 6 mo in da big house.

    Thats a total of 5 to 14 years in jail & up to 1.1 million in fines.

  • big house?

  • OMG, when is he going to put that poor kid down and stop using him as a prop? The kid doesn't like it, he's not pressing his head into his chest, he's not crying, he's vomiting, he's looking around desperately, but not too obviously, to see if there's someone to finally GET HIM FREE. Are there no other authority figures in his life -- gparents, teachers, producers of Wifeswap, that he's been allowed to get close to -- c'mon, not an eye followed him when he went to the b'room to vomit. C-PTSD

  • Richard:

    Phucky Phucky One dollar. One Dollar.

    Mayumi:

    Me love you very long time.

    Richard:

    I love boom boom boom very long time.

    Mayumi:

    Me want white babies.

    Richard:

    Someday, I'm going to be famous. Arggh!!!! Fallcoon..

  • "youtubes" ;)

  • Thank God. Evolution Science & English grammar has failed.

    HAHAHAHHA "YOUTUBES" -- too many youtubes.

  • I have a question for the box.

    When do we get to see the Heene's on a perp walk?

  • 美國人真有趣

  • I hated those people ever since this story came out. I say, rob the parents through law suits, throw them in jail, and take the kids away.

    No, better idea: Tie them all to their bed posts and set the house on fire.

  • well looks like there have been 3 more assholes born into the family of complete moronic assholes (the actors that performed this stunt)

  • Throw them in jail. Wasting tax dollars and horrible parenting...

  • lol in "Youtubes"

  • Well it took the Sheriff long enough to catch on, but glad to see charges will be filed. Throw the book at them!

  • I didn't buy it. Anywho, he sounded like he was going to cry.

  • Richard Heene-

    A bad parent? yes.

    Greedy? yes.

    Lier? yes.

    The worst actor-dad of the century? absolutely!

    ..But a NOVELTY? hell no not in the U.S. of A.

    America is fooled everyday by the fakeness of reality TV and he just wanted a slice of it!

    He should go to jail, BTW, for wasting the tax payers money during recession!

  • WIERDOS

  • reminds me of the political farce in this country. So in your face and denial is king.

  • looks like the people are having the last laugh ...

  • Really... Millions of people wanted to know. who called black hawk?

  • so basically, it just all for the lulz.

  • "Kids, say good bye to your parents, you'll be living with foster parents for a long time."

  • YouTubes...TUBES...lol

    On a serious note...these people have no shame. Terrible parents. Lock them up.

  • SEARCH WARRANTS coming SOON!

    Scrub, scrub, scrub that harddrive Mr. Heene.

  • Comment removed

  • Its just flat out hilarious that some people are still saying it wasn't a hoax. Ignorance is bliss.

  • The father thinks he's smarter than he really is.

    Actually he's an IDIOT with a nasty temper.

  • Did you just realise this now?

  • Wow, that sheriff sure is quick! Good thing he told every one, because no one would have figured it out. OMG! Has the sheriff also been trained as a high profile detective? How did he do it? amazing.

  • As long as that sheriff waited to admit it's a hoax, I'd think the guy is Richard's cousin or brother, lol.

  • yes!! charge them appropriately!!!

  • They should be Charged. Waste of Money and Man Power

  • The sherrif's announcement is nearly useless, lol. At 1st he won't admit there's even a possibility of a hoax even though 99% of people knew it was. He could have said there are some signs it could be one, but no instead he said there was no evidence of one. Probably to avoid looking bad. Then 24 hours after every one knew, he tells you it's a hoax, and that they are very good actors, lol. Sounds like someone needs to tell him about the internet, along with his staff who missed the clues

  • Faggots, dumb asses

  • Come on now, the majority of the government play the same kind of deception games with the people, when are they gonna be charged with conspiracy etc etc?

  • Were aliens involved?

  • Sorry, sheriff. YOU bought it, and you kept denying while the entire world called BS. And you are sighing quite a bit, your voice is trembling when it didn't tremble before when you kept denying. Why so nervous?

  • The sheriff is involved. I do believe.

  • He sure did wait long enough to admit it was a hoax. He waited until every last person on the planet screamed it was a hoax before agreeing.

  • Did you watch a video fr CNN where a body language expert analyzed the heavy sigh dad let out after kid confessed on live TV? Sound like what sheriff is doing, a LOT, and he is over emphasizes he "picked up on it", that he "suspected" but needed "trust" time, now he needs more time, voice trembling, etc. Call me a skeptic.

  • I agreed. They need to face charges.

  • the sad truth is that maybe this guy deserves to be on a reality show as an extraordinary idiot. just look at the media frenzy. he is a freaking celebrity now. there are lots of lunatics out there who would do anything to draw attention to themselves. very few of them succeed. well, he did.

  • I would hardly call this a success. Infamy is one thing, but this guy is beyond a train wreck. He's just not very entertaining or charismatic.

  • jeffrey dahmer is also famous.

  • i'd like to see the evidence that says it was a publicity stunt. the balloon was probably made to be a publicity stunt but the kid going missing was just a bad coincidence and bad luck

  • uh watch the wolf blitzer interview

  • And I'd like to see you review the evidence before posting uninformed comments.

  • no. they had the kid hide out intentionally.

  • Excuse us? LOL

  • The dad looks and acts like some out of control nut. If this is proven to be a publicity stunt, I hope this sham of a dad and mom serves time in prison.

    Poor kids.

  • Ha ha. I love this Sheriff. Look out these people "are actors" that have put out "YouTubes." I say we honor this man with the adoption of this grammatical construction.

  • His wife looks like Ono Yoko, John Lennon's (from The Beatles) second wife.

  • Charges or no charges, they got publicity alright.

    Gotta be careful what one say during a press conference to prevent any prejudgment and biases.

  • hahahahahha... "on youtubes" at 0:33

  • where in the ballon would the kid be without falling off?

  • and what is this crap about damage to the field where the balloon landed-

    it is a damn dirtfield, lol

  • His wife looks like an Asian Micheal Jackson.

  • Well, at least Chris Crocker Got famous for "LEAVE BRITNEY SPEAR ALONE"

    People should make "leave balloon boy alone. How dare you people!!" lol

  • and why are you two morons STILL arguing with each other? YOU ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE IN AMERICA WHO AGREE THAT THIS ISN'T A HOAX, HELP EACH OTHER

  • our tax money wasted AGAIN

  • Will anyone watch their reality show after that!? Not bloody likely.

  • Should be able to find documents or computer files with calculations that would prove the father knew the balloon did not have the capability of lifting the weight of his son.

  • Also, it's fucking hilarious that moronpaul and repotag, the only 2 people in America who don't believe that this was a hoax, are arguing with each other. What the fuck are you guys arguing about? You guys agree with each other you dumb fucks. Argue with me.

  • the same agency that determined that beyond a doubt  this kid was in the balloon in the first place is the same bozo agency stating a crime was commited

  • I remember turning on the news to this shit. Some goddamn shiny saucer flying around and they were saying there was some kid in it. I thought he was being abducted by aliens at first. But then it was just a bunch of retards chasing some ugly ass balloon that just happened to be in someones backyard.

  • i bet they fed that kid something to make him barf on cue

  • Ipicap or W/E its used for Making kids vomit things they ate/drank for example if a kid drank bleach the parents give that to them

  • What is wrong with this Sheriff? Was he the only one in America that did not think this was a hoax? Was he asleep? From the start this whole thing smelled rotten! From the father crying without tears to the boy "outing" the dad on tv to bring to boy on tv with a tupperware container to throw up! Who does that? If you had a balloon that you are going to let loose wouldn't you check the kids first? If any tv network picks this family up as a show I urge people to boycott that network.

  • I just feel sorry for those kids. Doing all this yourself is one thing, but involving your own kids is lowest of the low. They don't deserve to have children.

  • How arrogant do have to be to think you could this type of shit and not be found out?

  • Just goes to show you Kids never intentionally lie. Guess its safe to say they won't be winning any Emmy Awards anytime soon...horrible acting.

  • Watch the kid say, speaking to his father, "you said we did it for the show" on CNN.

    Can't give a links but it's called:

    Watch body language expert analyze Heene interview

  • "Watch body language expert analyze Heene interview"

    Oh great, the 'body language experts' probably the same experts who 'slam dunked' WMD's in Iraq.

  • an expert is anyone who agrees with your point of view

  • "an expert is anyone who agrees with your point of view"

    No, I'd just prefer to have hard evidence and not 'tea leave readers' or especially 'body language experts'. This shit is a PSEUDOSCIENCE at best.

    Why not bring in Sylvia Browne to weigh in on this?

  • yeah, silvia browne said that shawn hornbeck was dead and everyone knows hows that one turned out to be true

  • You're one of those people who wouldn't believe we landed on the moon if we built a time machine and sent you up there with Armstrong.

    No wonder you've got sympathy for this Hinne nutjob, you guys were fucking separated at birth.

  • stay on topic- this sheriff is hick yarnspinner

    the more irrelevant spin he puts on something like- 911 call wife beater - ACLU defense- acting school

    the greater the chance the hick publicity seeking bozo cops have nada

  • Dude I am on topic. The topic is that you're a nut.

    I am all about debating facts and arguing valid points. But if a hobo comes up to me on the street and tells me the sky is red and the earth is a fucking dodecahedron, I'm not gonna give him the time of day. I'm gonna tell him that he's probably got dementia from all the cocaine he did and that he needs to fuck off.

    You're sitting here telling me that this mountain of evidence amounts to conjecture, I'm gonna give you the same treatment.

  • "You're sitting here telling me that this mountain of evidence amounts to conjecture, "

    whenever I hear someone say "Mountain of evidence" I immediately think of a pile of bullshit.

  • there is no mountain of evidence

    no indisputible evidence was offered in the statement

    just inuendo about acting school, a couple previous 911 calls, a lie detector test that may or may not have occured, comments manipulated out of kids less than 10yos

    the sheriff is in fact speaking out of his ass and if you are naive enouph to believe everything you here than you have issues

  • You can say that red's blue and the sky's name is Nancy for all I fucking care. More than 90% of the country agrees with me, including the one opinion that really counts - the sheriff's.

    Go shack yourself up with moronpaul and draft up a petition to help these nutjobs if you want. I look forward to seeing the both of you on TV.

  • look stupid, the sheriff does not even have the authority to actually pursue the charges- that is up to the District Attorney or a Grand Jury.

    So, why does he even hold a press conference ?

    He says it has been determined it is a hoax and his very next statement is to say the family attended acting school

    get a clue

  • He's hosting a press conference because that's his duty? Whenever there's a high profile case it's a sheriff's JOB to let the people know about the progress of the investigation?

    I don't know, I live in America, you live on Mars. Different rules I guess.

  • its the sheriffs job ?

    really ?

    where do you get that info from ?

    you just make this s--t up as you go along dont you

  • Well, here on earth we live by different customs than wherever the fuck you're from.

  • yeah- adolph hitler and madoff as a prime example of your race

  • "Your race"? Way to admit that you're not part of the human race. Really got me there.

  • "yeah, silvia browne said that shawn hornbeck was dead and everyone knows hows that one turned out to be true"

    I'd rather wait to see what the 'solid evidence' the police have. If they have e-mails where Heene talks about "Scaring the public with his kid in a balloon" then it's case closed.

    However everything in me is saying otherwise, that the Heene family are passionate and eccentric...but not hoaxers.

  • no such emails exist, otherwise that dumb sheriff would have copied and pasted them and would have been waiving them and shouting before the media like a baptist minister

  • "no such emails exist, otherwise that dumb sheriff would have copied and pasted them and would have been waiving them and shouting before the media like a baptist minister"

    Agreed.

    This really is starting to feel like a witch hunt. The media really hasn't learned a damned thing.

    Just give it time and people will start throwing rocks/molotov cocktails at the Heene household.

    Watch for the death threats, etc to happen as well.

    Fuck this just sickens me.

  • Get sick and die.

  • if the sheriff does not press claim he is pressing charges (lol none have been filed) then it all goes away and no one pays attention to his attention seeking ass anymore

    the sheriff looks like he wants his own reality show

  • "the sheriff looks like he wants his own reality show"

    You don't believe that the kid confessed but you make such a long-shot conjecture based on absolutely nothing.

    Way to be unbiased.

  • Comment removed

  • the so-called reason for pressing charges according to officer Gomer Pyle:

    1) unsubtantiated alleging the father a wife beater

    2) comments that may have been coerced when cops manipulated kids seperated from parents

    3) making off hand charge that family may be represented by ACLU

    4) stating that lie detector prooves guilt

    5) any other rumor or inuendo- unsubstantiated facts

    6) i wear a nazi type uniform and my jail is full

  • How about.

    1. Live confession of kid on national TV.

    2. The fact that the father has made no attempt to defend himself except to deny the allegations without attempting to debunk any of the support behind the allegations.

    3. the fact that this guy is a complete nut who will do anything for attention (have you WATCHED any of his videos?)

    4. The launch video. I don't need to say any more about this. If you watch the launch video and don't think this was a hoax, I'm just wasting my breath.

  • the 6yo confessed ? I dont think so- the defense for his statement is plausable.

    the sheriff starts his idiotic comments stating that they went to acting school.

    there is no credible evidence against them- the 8yo told his parents his brother was in the balloon and they responded to that

    there is nothing other than inuendo and unsubstantiated speculation- basically, they try to thow all the charges they can at them in hope that something will stick

  • Look, like I said to the other guy, if I get a signed confession from a serial killer you can spin that and say he was referring to a video game and call it conjecture.

    I think, along with 90% of America according to every single poll I've seen. That this was a hoax based on the evidence that's out there. If you can't even agree that the kid confessed, I can't convince you.

  • a 6yo is not a pathalogical manipulating serial killer

    better than 90% of America believed Maddoff had a plausible credible business, so your being on the side of a majority POV is irrelevant perception and may have nothing to do with truth

  • BALLOON HOAX WAS INSIDE JOB!!!

  • If they are guilty, not only should these whack-jobs have to pay back every penny that was spent by emergency services, they should rot in prison for a very long time for this.

  • "Why are you asking what the charges are? Did you watch the video?"

    This whole "Heene Hoax" isn't going down well with me. I think the Heene's are being honest in their belief that Falcon was in the balloon...and that the sheriffs are capitulating to public pressure to prosecute the Heene family.

    What 'evidence' do they have? I'd be curious to see their 'smoking gun' because so far...it's all fucking CONJECTURE.

  • Look at the wolf blitzer video.

    Look at the "balloon launch" video

    Look at everything this family has done in the past

    Look at what they're trying to do right now (secure a reality show)

    There's so much evidence in place, it's indisputable. Now you can call it all conjecture, but I guess a finger print on a gun is conjecture too if you don't believe in fingerprinting technology.

  • "Look at the wolf blitzer video."

    The kid was referring to when the media asked Falcon to point/show where he was hiding.

    "Look at the "balloon launch" video"

    I saw the Heene family freaking out.

    "Look at everything this family has done in the past"

    Please don't tell me you work in legal.

    "Look at what they're trying to do right now (secure a reality show)"

    ??? "Right now" or in the past? Be specific.

  • OK if you get a signed confession from a murderer saying he killed 5 people, and then he spins it later and says "oh i meant on a video game" while obvious distressed and scrambling for words, you'll give the benefit of the doubt to the murderer

    Shit, must be hard to convince you. Next time I commit a crime I'll make sure to get you on the jury.

  • the next time you commit a crime ?

    once i recall an interview where they asked a 6yo what he would do if a stranger tried to abduct him and the kid said he would draw a circle with chalk on the sidewalk and hide behind it

    wann buy a bridge, buddy ?

  • Dude you can call anything conjecture. Your mom is a conjecture, what if you were adopted? Maybe you're a conjecture, do you really exist?

    The bottom line is, the sheriff agrees with me and so does the rest of America. I feel like I'm trying to have civil discourse with a birther.

  • alot of people agreed with hitler too, great argument

  • Why do people always try to use Hitler to win an argument? Its such a bs,easy attempt to try to prove a dumbass argument.Its a hoax. If you don't believe its a hoax. Then you can buy the statue of liberty from me for three easy payments of $39.95/

  • No, the kid ratted them out. He said,they did it for the show" . Thats not some fairytale hiding behind a circle crap.Was it a bs host? Hell yes.Some reality tv show family pulls this crap.Just happens to have some ufo in the backyard? Too many coincidences.They actually do have more evidence. Such as the video of the dad releasing the balloon with no one inside.

  • and the next day it was argued the kid was referring to the fact reporters asked him to crawl back into the attic to show them how he did it-

    unless you beg the fact that is a lie, it is plausable

  • If we built you a time machine to go up to the moon with Armstrong you'd argue that you were hypnotized and put under a virtual simulator.

    Is that a valid argument? Sure

    Are you a fucking nutjob just like this Hinne dude? Yes.

  • What are the charges? People who know the Heene (Neighbours/reality show people) all say that Heene was out for publicity...but not this.

  • I have no idea what you're trying to say.

    Not what? Not the charges?

    Why are you asking what the charges are? Did you watch the video?

    What's wrong with you boy?

  • Charges are well deserved. A hoax is one thing but this is way over the line.

    1. They used up a lot of tax payer's money

    2. They effectively diverted an entire nation's attention for 4 whole days.

    If you're not firm with these over-the-top attention seekers, then you're sending the message that their actions are acceptable.

    You'll be effectively encouraging others to try this kind of morally decrepit stunt to gain quick fame and money.

  • Charge these fucking assholes to the full extent of the law...

  • LOL.. put them in jail

  • Actors!

  • They wasted people's tax money, law enforcment officers time, and worried many people who already have so much to worry about. I personally never cared about what was happening. It is not something I feel I should care about, no more than any of the thousands of other people who are in danger every day.

    I am glad that their plot was reveiled and they willl be forced to pay for the waste of all that money.

  • well duh. it was obvious from the start

  • Now that hes got the publicity the court fees wont be a problem cause all he gots to do is write a book about it and make a bunch of money from suckers who want to know about it.

  • I was saying this since day 1. I would like to know where that one youtube guy is who called me a douchebag about my baseless "accusations"

  • Not only did they waste everyone's time and money they also probably told their children over and over to lie about it to everyone. They're just manipulating their own children for profit.

  • Yeah; many people see their children as property or, in this case, assets- to make their drama more compelling. Adults can or should take responsibility for their own reactions to the hoax. The real crime is what this couple is doing to their childrens' emotional well-being and integrityy.

  • i think its really stupid to press such charges over all that sh*t.

    The cops are just doing their jobs... same as if you run a red light.

    It's their duty to enforce the law, full stop.

  • Maybe FOX news started. They enjoy lying to bush, everyone, everyone!!!
