They were described by folks on "wife swap" as "nut cases" Then there was that episode of Three's Company where there was a misunderstanding

ok, more info. Sheriff (at least I think it was a sheriff) says that:
a) the older sibling was adamant and very clear that he had seen his 6 year old brother get into the apparatus, and
b) the 6 year old got scared when the balloon came untethered that he would get in trouble, and hid.
So that’s the latest word on what happened. I’m just glad that a story that could’ve well had a horrific ending has concluded happily... except for a lost balloon and possibly for the 6-year-old’s backside.

Did the family call the sheriff first or did they call the TV station and ask for the helos ? If so, smart thinking. Probably the fastest way to get someone to track the craft.

Attention whores!
I guessed right away that the balloon did not have enough volume to carry a fifty pound payload to that altitude. And upon hearing that the family were reality TV specimens I strongly suspected that the child had been hidden and his brother instructed to lie about him being in the balloon.

Parents press conference. The dad says the balloon is an early stage invention to use for your car to hover over traffic.

When I was a little girl, I use to use the next door neighbors fence to crawl up on the roof of our garage....Until one day my mother saw me up there....geez, kids do the darnest things....raised 5 and the stories I could tell.....like most parents we just pray they survive childhood. Thats how kids learn and act.. I loved climbing trees also, out of sight of my mom.

“invention to use for your car to hover over traffic.”
Oh boy. Wouldn’t that just create more hovering traffic?
To: rintense
I bet the kid let the balloon go, and went and hid because he was afraid hed get in trouble.

I was surprised that it took almost a full hour after this thread started that someone on FR made this comment!
There was a a prayer to that effect, but no “bet” until after it had grounded.

They are on TV now, maybe well hear the story.It will be interesting to read the opinions fly now.
How long until the MSM focus ruins the family of the child?
To: ME-262
This stolen from another site
It took 4 or 5 HOURS to find the kid in the garage? And this family thinks they are going to find aliens?????
