It was very entertaining watching this balloon float around. Definately glad the child was not in it at the time. Could have been a very bad outcome.

I hope that is not the case, but the family has been on the show "Wife Swap" two times before. I hope this wasn't just another chance for them to get on tv in the most shameful way possible.

At first it was a human interest story. It showed that we care about the well being of others. Why it is still being discussed by the media now does show a lot. I agree that there are a lot of other things that the media needs to put first.

At the very least they should garnish the parents wages for the cost of the money they spent trying to find the kid. That is if it's proven to be a hoax.

Luckily I missed the whole thing on TV and ended up reading about it online.

I agree with ya there, at first it was slightly worthwhile. But the spiraling out of control has made it unreal.
