Balloon Boy Hoax

Recently, a family in Colorado made a fool out of the entire nation by claiming that their 6-year-old son was kidnapped and flew away in a balloon. At first, I thought it was real and I was glued to the television when news broke out of a missing child. I realized that the whole thing was a hoax. I was not laughing and neither the entire nation. The family was using the kidnapping to get attention. They want their own reality show. Has this world gone crazy? We had enough reality shows involving children. It’s time to put an end to this type of reality television. First, the Gosselins then the Kardashians and now the Heenies. This madness must stop.

The Heenie Family must apologize to the nation for causing all this trouble and trying to scare away viewers who watch scripted television. The kids have been coaxed by their parents to be part of this scheme. I am happy to hear that the parents will end up behind bars and the kids will be in custody of the grandparents.

I urge you to stop watching reality shows that involve children because it gives anyone ideas. This hoax will be the most talked about story of the year.

What do you think?

Should the parents go to jail for faking a kidnapping?
