The mother of a Colorado boy thought to be aboard a homemade helium balloon has admitted to investigators the whole thing was a hoax, according to a court document made public on Friday.
The local sheriff had already said the October 15 "Balloon Boy" incident was a publicity stunt and expected felony charges to be filed against the 6-year-old boy's parents, Richard and Mayumi Heene. The mom told investigators she and her husband lied to authorities and knew their son Falcon was at home as rescue teams tracked the balloon believing the boy was inside.
"The motive for the fabricated story was to make the Heene family more marketable for future media interest," the affidavit states.
for the complete story...
I think felony charges SHOULD be charged against the stupid parents for 1, it was clearly a SCHOOL DAY so WHY wasn't the little boy at school in the first place?! #2, how STUPID COULD YOU BE???? For real? For further interest to the media??? GTFOH!!!!!
