What a weird week it’s been as far as current events go. I’m sure that by now you’ve heard about the Heene incident, as the balloon boy story was captured by just about every major media outlet. The Heene parents decided to call authorities to let them know that their son Falcon had been taken into the air by a homemade balloon.
This saucer was filled with helium, and flying hundreds of feet (if not thousands) above the ground, being followed by the FAA and news helicopters alike. The nation watched the plight of this saucer on the edge of its seat, fearing the worst possible outcome for young Falcon.
A few hours later as the helium died down, the flying saucer came into a very surprisingly soft descent, landing on the ground but still leading authorities to believe that the worse was be to expected. Somehow, Falcon wasn’t inside the balloon. Where was he? Hiding in the family’s attic.
Shortly after this all occurred, the family decided to conduct an interview with CNN. While telling their story, Falcon had inadvertently told the camera that he was hiding because the parents had asked him to. This set off a chain of confusion and speculation about the entire incident.
Everything then took a turn for the worse and it became obvious that the entire incident was a staged one. The public had been taken for a ride by the Heene family.
Their 15 minutes of fame came at a big cost though, and someone has to pay the price for it.
Having cost the government and news organizations over 2 million dollars, any other crime that “stole” money from people would carry criminal charges.
As such, there’s no legitimate reason to believe that this should be treated any differently. These parents should both do some time in jail. Their spectacle was pathetic.
