Boy stuck in a balloon

[Dallas]

Oh please tell me this kid is okay.

Sad isn't it? As a father Im sitting here on the edge of my seat saying a prayer for this little dude.


Completely pissed off at his parents mind you but still praying for this child to be safe.

his brother said he saw him get in it before it took off.

His brother is also 4, isn't he? My four year old says all kinds of crazy things when she thinks she might be in trouble.

Apparently the boy's family was featured on the reality show "Wife Swap."

Bizarrely, the kid's name is "Falcon."

This story gets weirder and weirder.

This story gets weirder and weirder.

Saw a little clip and it sounds like the reporters are getting skeptical. Think its a big hoax.

I think I actually saw that episode the Dad was pretty crazy, they were storm chasers or something. Definitely had a few screws loose.

It's been a bizaar day. The most sickening story so far was the 14 year old kid who retreived his stolen bike and was asked to report who stole it to the principal. On the way there, 5 thug kids grabbed him, poured lighter fluid all over him and set him on fire. He is fighting for his life right now with 90% burns. What a way to start the day, hearing sick stuff like that on the way to work.

That is all sorts of messed up. I haven't been following the news much lately, but do they know who did it and do they have them in custody? That kid's life is completely ruined and so should their lives.

OMG that is sickening. I dont see how someone could do something like that to anyone or anything.

It's beyond disturbing...I can't comprehend it whatsoever.

I heard a similiar story except it was over a video game.

Blame the parents and the circle of peers these criminals run in.

I just heard about it on the way to work this morning. I got the impression that they do know who the kids were...and I assume they have them. It sounds like it may have been right on school property.

The whole commentary was on "what the H are peole thinking these days?". The second story discussed the video of two strabgers passing in the street and slightly bumping into each other. The argue, one guy squares off to fight ad the other pulls a knife and stabs him 4 times....to death. The culprit then flees town and supposseldy kills himself. So a minor bump on the sidewalk leads to two deaths....jeesh.

Sorry for all the downer stuff. Like I said, it's been an odd day.

hoax.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

hoax.

Confirmed?

If so, thank God.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Confirmed?

If so, thank God.

Wait, then where is the kid?

Could this be some crazy "I killed my son, so now I'm staging this" thing?

I'm nowhere near a television, so I'm pretty much getting all my information from hours old news reports and this thread.

Confirmed?

If so, thank God.

Aviation experts say the balloon was too small to have lifted a six year old boy and was not flying as if it was carrying a payload, reported Village Voice editor Tony Ortega.

A youtube clip of these kids made by their parents. It's them mocking conventional parenting.

I gotta say the Mr. Hanky bit was hilarious.

Is this a bad time to tell you people that I'm stuck in a well?
