Yesterday, a homemade balloon flew 50 miles across Colorado with a 6-year-old boy believed to be inside. The boy was later found hiding in his attic. What was your reaction to this news? Do you think the family involved in this incident is being honest to the public about what happened or do you think it was a publicity stunt? Was the medias coverage of this event appropriate?

  • he admits to the media "we did this for the show" (some reality tv show that was coming up). guess his parents told him not to say that but it might be a bit of a freudian moment for him

  • TOP 4 REASONS I WAS WRONG.

    # 4 I seen explanations to the doubts. The Child could have been referring to other TV Shows they where on or YOU TUBE.

    # 3 After what I THOUGHT they went through I didn't want to jump to any conclusion in case this really did happen to him.

    # 2 I lost my 8 yr old for 2 hrs. Thought there was no way a father could fake that reaction in front of Police Investigators.

    # 1 What Father would teach his children to lie in front of the whole world? The Worst in America.

  • if he was hiding in the attic, then what is the hoax?/ im confuseld

  • there was 2 black guys in the video that were interviewed

  • I kinda laughed a little near the end when the only black guy they asked was standing with a wonder bread truck in the background.

  • That guy in the yellow raincoat. Thats what its all about.

  • It has been explained already that there has been a number of reasons this child has said this. They do TV and YouTube programming. It would be more specious if everything he said was Perfect.

    The Elephant in the room that everyone seems to not want to hear because a HOAX is more salacious, is that the Cops had PROFESSIONAL INVESTIGATORS!!! Observing the Real reactions of these parents! Why people HAVE to see something other than the truth from PROFESSIONAL INVESTIGATORS!!!! is beyond me!!!

  • it was a hoax the family was being interveiwed and the boy said on national tv that he was told to do it so they could be on a show.

  • the man at min. 40 is the shit!!!!!

  • Sad how people think this is a HOAX. If you ever lost a child for a few minutes you would know you can't fake the real reaction the police had witnessed. Police experience this a lot and that's why the Police believe this was no Hoax. But lets face it. What a great way for the Media to milk the hell out of this one!
