this has to be one of the most idiotic news stories i've ever witnessed. the dad is some kind of amature scientist and created a goofy helium ballon for weather experiments. so he tries it out today and the balloon takes off somehow and his oldest son claims the younger son is in the ballon. CNN acts like its the greatest story ever tols turens out the kid was hiding in a box in the garage. meanwhile thousands of tax dollars were spent trying to find this kid using military air craft and officers on the ground. talk about a publicity stunt. and the parents acted like nothing was wrong. yea we're all glad the kid is safe but leats be real here.
