Apparently a 6 year old Colorado boy has climbed into a homemade balloon aircraft and is floating North of Denver.
Stay tuned. Here's one article on it, CNN also has coverage.

sweet avatar shawk, i need one, don't know where to get one, poor kid i just posted on the other one that its akaks kid :x Shawk could you find me a avatar please? greens
-
How anybody could find it funny that a 6yr old could be dead is beyond me. Even if he is ok, their isnt anything funny about the whole situation.
-
Not even close to funny; I remember being that age and doing some pretty stupid things now that I look back on them. It is a miracle I survived past age 10 due to some of the stuff I did.

I think he doesn't really understand the forums? He may have meant it to be a PM. It doesn't look like he had any bad intentions, just a simple question.

Frankly its a miracle that most little boys survive past age 10. I hope the child is ok but there is a giant question mark floating over this, where the hell was the parents when this happened?

Wow I'm sure lazer is taking this all in... being the same age and all.
-
Its rough being 6 years old, alone in the air. :uhoh
-
Why in the hell do the parents have a balloon like that in the backyard where kids can crawl all over it? Even Unattended? :mad:
Must be some real lost in space parents......... :rolleyes:
-
"Storm chasing" Which up until now I thought was done in cars and trucks.
-
CNN just reported they found the boy alive and well, hiding in a garage
-
I hope that's true. Think he ll get a different reaction than he's expexting. Probably a bunch of hugs before CPS gets there and hauls off the parents :(
-
That's good news. Me personally I would be so happy that he is alive and give it some time. Then punish the ever loving crap out of him for causing that kind of scare.
-
This story stinks of Bs and I'm eyeballing the parents. I wonder if a bill for wasted public services is being drafted up yet for the family.

I saw something about them being on some TV show called 'wife swap' not sure if it's true though.
-
I knew it was a hoax. Dad let it go while working on it, and blamed the kid :lol

Either the Dad lost it then realized if he told authorities his kid was in it, they'd find his balloon for him and make sure it was not lost. Or the thing was built just to mislead the public with this story for whatever motives they had.
There's just absolutely no way the kid was hiding in a box in the attic and it was all just a big misunderstanding with a nice fluffy happy ending, give me a break. This is outrageous.
I live in Colorado and was watching this live gritting my teeth as they showed the balloon flying over the eastern plains.
-
I wouldn't be so sure. Kids do make mistakes like that, and exaggerate in their minds the consequences their parents will inflict.
I know I certainly did some things that I thought were going to get a much more severe reaction than they did. Obviously nothing on this scale, but still....
-
My bet is that the kid did let it go accidentally, then ran and hid so he 'wouldn't get in trouble for losing daddys balloon'.

I'm not saying either one would surprise me, I just know that kids do stuff like that.
Basically, in my mind the jury is still out and there is a lot more info we'd need to make hard judgment calls from in front of our computers.
-
He raps? That's different. Punish him :D
-
There is a couple of immature kids in this thread that need to be removed from the forums, I didnt see any humor in this at all

I find it hard to believe that this unattended 6 year old let the balloon loose by himself, was then reported as being in the balloon when it flew away, and was then able to run into the garage, and hide in the attic all the while undetected. Anything is possible I guess but I say it's tenfold more likely that someone is lying.
-
i'm with you grizz, what a load of crap. Probably like you say, the dad wanted his balloon found or something. I don't see the kid could have made it to the hiding place at the same time as people seeing the balloon drift off.

Why not? While everyone is looking upwards in the sky after the older brother told everyone what happened, I'm sure it would have been easy for him to hide in the attic.
ack-ack
-
True, it could be possible, i dont even know what their house looks like. Just a gut reaction i think, something smells fishy. Perhaps they were trying to give him publicity for his 'rap'? Dunno, just a feeling. They are clearly exhibitionists or they would go on wife swap and post films on youtube of their young children rapping about 'glorification'.

The snapshot of the family during the 'news conference' you can see the two older boys hanging their heads and looking awfully sorry... rather revealing if you will.

He sure does have a wild imagination.

I'd say its time for the beatin' of that boys life. When I was a kid I would of got beat for merely getting close to it. ;)

I read that reason for the boy's behavior was fear of his father's anger. Fwiw, in learning how to discipline my own son, logical consequences for misbehavior are far more effective than my anger.

You may be right, as I do not have children. But I would think if the child new that the outcome would be a trip over daddy or mommy's knee then maybe he would avoid messing with the balloon all together.
I'm only 28 and paddling in schools was long gone before I was born, but you can rest assure I caught hell from my mom and dad if I did something bad.
-
Oh, and make sure brother gets a few for making the whole thing up too :D
-
What I don't get is why they thought the balloon had the capacity to carry the kid. It wasn't even close.

The little boy in blue is suppose to be Falcon. He's the poor boy lost. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqriPVMZCRI

And here's the smoking gun ladies and gentlemen. The kid blowing the whole lie on CNN "You guys said that, we did this for the show"... Oops!

haha, now thats funny...
The reporter knew it but didnt have the urge to really take them up on it, as it was already obvious and on film.
-
Investigators are going to put pressure on the parents now to come out with the truth and they are going to defend against it by playing the "How dare you after we went through this" card. Hopefully the parents break, but either way they are going to get a ton of press coverage now, just what those people wanted.
-
Well, If the kid is hiding in a garage scared to death and a very expensive balloon is missing. Its quite obvious that he was to blame for releasing the balloon. Whether the story that the kid was in it was true or not the fact of the matter is they found the kid and he is back where he belongs. And that is how it should be, whether this was a scam or a major freak out: hes home, the press is making a fortune and we get a good thread on the forum. Its a winner all round.
And in regards to the stupid childhood antics side thread.
Im only 15 and im surprised I made it past three, I grabbed wires and rumaged through kitchen cupboards and to boot I was a curios little bastage so ive dug my way into more holes than a mole.

The problem is that most 6 year old kids have a problem knowing what they should and shouldn't say. I heard the Wolf Blitzer interview on my home this morning. Sounds like that kid doesn't have the guile required for that and blew it. Also the parents reek of attention potatoness. Yesterday I would have said that it didn't sound like a put-up job, but today it stinks of something even more unwholesome. I hope the parents get hit for the cost expended for this whole mess.
-
“Why didn’t you come out?” his father asked. And Falcon answered, “You had said” — pausing here — “that we did this for a show.”
:rofl
