He just said to his parents on Wolf Blitzer “You guys said we did it for a show.” Wolf didn’t seem to notice. Video at the link.

Wolf is just further proof of what kinds of morons CNN employs. The kid admits it was all a scam and Wolf just sits there with that “I’m a dumb ass” look on his face

If someone did some jail time for this kind of crap the silly season would come to a screeching halt.

They were on that idiotic Wife Swap reality show a few months back. I think they just couldn’t let their 15 minutes of fame go.

Daddy gives out bad vibes.

Does anybody else think the dad looks like a younger Rod Blagojevich? He’d do anything for press attention, too.

Wasn’t Blister with Bernard Shaw in the hotel room in Baghdad the night the bombing started and they were broadcasting live. I think the cameraman was the only one not under the bed crying like a baby...

people could have been hurt “trying to rescue his kid”. if this was a hoax shame on them, and any money they make off of this for a criminal action (hoax) should be paid in restitution to the emergency personnel that responded.

Neither of the parents made a coherent statement. Sounds like they knew what was going on. I hope they have to pay the costs of this. I prayed so hard for that little kid!
