And the father’s admission of calling the FAA before 911 was called.

I don’t think it was a hoax, but letting something that large go to become a aircraft hazard is going to land them in hot water just the same, imho.

It’s a hoax!

What parent that you know of would NOT know where their kids are at a time like this?

There is no excuse for this and the parents should be made to PAY for ALL THE COSTS they ran up looking for their son. I hope the ATTENTION was worth it.

It only made sense to me (the kid hiding) if the kid had accidentally let it go and was hiding to avoid punishment.

Now we know the parents launched it...I have a hard time believing they thought the kid was inside. The under carriage of the ballon looks sealed to me, how could he get inside?

Did the father get his check from George Soros yet?

Lock this idiot father up in jail. He had to know that balloon didn’t have the lift capability to pick up a 6 year kid.

That balloon could not lift more than 10lbs. The father knew that.

You can tell the way that balloon lifted off, there’s NO WAY it could’ve taken a kid into the air!

It barely even moved when he released it!

The video contradicts their original story doesn’t it? That the kid climbed in and untied the tether or something?

What a stupid hoax.
