Criminal charges to be filed in Balloon Boy case.


Posted: Oct 18, 2009

It was obvious from the beginning that this was a publicity stunt.  Not only should the Heene family be forced to repay the State of Colorado every penny spent on the "search and rescue" operation, but they should also be forced to repay the farmer whose wheat crop they destroyed.  Finally, a dose of reality for the Heene family and all of those who believed their ridiculous lies.

I agree wholeheartedly. Those parents don't seem to be wrapped too tight.

I still feel bad for the kids. The parents should have to.... - watcher

pay through the nose, yes. But I still think that reporters et al should stop shoving microphones in the kids' faces (especially the 6-year-old) and stop with the interviews when the kid is actively throwing up while they ask him questions.

I mean, enough already. He is not responsible for what his parents did.
