Who cares about the kid, I want to fuck the mum.
 
The parents were on a reality TV show. Was the name of that show "Wifeswap" or "Lifeswap"? Listening to CNN it sounded an awful lot like "Wifeswap:eek:".
 
If a hoax, The London Times was saying the father might find a bill for the cost of everything in his mailbox...to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
 
This is obviously a hoax. I believe the kid. He was probably told that they would call out for him but not to answer as "we are doing it for the show". Also the mother did not answer the question when asked if she thought her son was hiding and not in the balloon. Instead she said that they looked all over for him. The father also rambled on. That is a classic sign of deception.
 
Update at 2:18 p.m. ET: The sheriff tells reporters that he realizes there have been calls from the public to "charge them (the family) with something" but that he has no evidence that that is warranted.

The Sheriff is in on the hoax. It's obvious then if it wasn't a hoax, the father put his kids in danger and the video is evidence. But it was a hoax, as he kicks the wood in disgust, the usual "what would I do if my son was in that box going to Area 51"? He kicked the wood, he didn't react to save his boy.

I call: JAIL for the father. Kids are going to foster care. And the kids will probably get their asses kicked when their older by bullies. That father is such an asshole, the last place to go was on television in a situation like this, after the fact. What an asshole.

1) I'm willing to give them the benefit of a doubt:
a) People are stupid and panic.
b) "The show" could be the kid's reference to Wife Swap.

2) Wife Swap: It was not sexual at all. Essentially, the husbands would live with each other's wives for the set period of time. So the other guy's wife would clean your house, take your kids to school, cook dinner, etc. There was always incessant and mammoth arguments coming from different families being forced together (i.e. military wife dealing with hippie kids, while hippie wife tries to teach redneck kids).
 
What a circus!!

Falcon's barfs on both predawn tele interviews, the second show had a bowl ready. Kid looks medicated.

The father's anger management profile, seen on Wife Swap 'reality' show.

Now interview shows have psychologist and sociologist discussing the obvious fear exhibited by the child hiding from the expected angry tongue lashing from the parents.

Sheriff's department saying to expect charges being laid but won't expand on it until later.

News shows now sheepishly admitting they may have jumped on the coverage too quickly and go over the top. All in the desire to report news NOW and not properly.
