I stand by my previous comment.

They should stick them all in a balloon. Launch it. Then pop it.

Dad must be really frustrated that his scheme is going to fizzle out with a whimper instead of a bang. Wait a minute! The final chapter hasn't been written.

They are White and famous. They'll get away with a slap on the wrist.

Sweet ... Another Balloon Boy thread.

Sounds like the only thing they can really be charged with is filing a false police report.

 

[oogabooga]

Charges have not been filed, but authorities expect to recommend felony charges including conspiracy, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and attempting to influence a public servant, Alderden said. They also plan to recommend a charge of filing a false police report, which is a misdemeanor.

He also said it is "unlikely" that someone convicted of these charges would face jail time. "We have to allocate our space to" those who commit more serious crimes or have a record of felonies, he said.

For a reality TV show? Jeez.

 

[Jokersmoker]

Maybe Dad will get a few balloons in prison ,nyuk,nyuk!!

 

[MustISO]

That's gonna be a costly stunt.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Haha I kinda figured it was fishy when the kid said "You guys said we did this for the show".

 

[aircooled]

It was a slow news day.

you cant pick up 40 pounds with a mylar balloon that size.

 

[nerp]

Bubble boy was more legit.

 

[Modular]

Awesome! You could tell that the father was a putz anyways. What a loser.

We already had two threads about balloon boy, why couldn't this go in one of them?

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

Seriously though, if they let Dad alone with Falcon for even a couple of minutes he'll probably beat the crap out of him. Authorities were insistent that there was no hoax until the kid opened his stupid mouth at the interview.

Must me and Godless correct you on this again?

 

[darkxshade]

If they don't put them behind bars, I surely hope they make them pay every for every cent that charade cost plus interest.
