Balloon Boy Hoax Major Publicity Stunt: Larry King Live VIDEO
PHOTOS of FALCON HEENE & HEEN FAMILY
The Balloon Boy drama that prompted a huge air rescue operation to save Falcon Heene, son of “Wife Swap” Richard and Mayumi Heene, was nothing but a hoax, a major publicity stunt.
After the boy was found hiding in the attic at home, the Heene family was invited for a special appearance on ‘Larry King Live’ and that was when Falcon revealed he had been hiding because “we did this for the show” (watch video below).
In an interview with CNN, Falcon said he had heard his family calling his name.”Why didn’t you come out?” Richard Heene asked. Falcon answered: “You had said that we did this for a show.”
When asked to clarify the comments later, Heene bristled. “I’m kind of appalled after all the feelings that I went through, up and down, that you guys are trying to suggest something else,” he said.
The father denied the drama was a publicity stunt. “That’s horrible after the crap we just went through. No.”
Richard suddenly got all nervous after the boy revealed their secret. They should know better than trust a 6 year-old to play along and try to make everyone believe the family was truly scared that their kid was up there in that balloon. At the end of the day we are just glad the boy is alive but we do not understand how parents can use their children like that.

“Scientist” dad sure knew that the balloon was not capable of lifting his kid! Call him out on it!
It seems implausible to believe the family actually say one of the children video taped the 6 year old child getting into that jiffy pop balloon contraption with a supposed cardboard bottom and he could somehow be able to secure himself inside of it?? If the boy’s weight is between 40-45 lbs.and the speed of the balloon is traveling @ approximately 25 miles per hr in a 2 hour span at an elevation exceeding 500′ in the air and it finally lands around 50 miles from the home the scientist father logically explain exactly how he woud believe his son could have been inside of it? It truly defys logic and sounds like a publicity stunt or hoax of some sort. It is most unfortunate for parents to involve small children in dangerous activities, such as storm chasing, mommie swapping and bogus balloon mischief.

I am ashamed that human beings would do something so crazy for money. They have endangered their children’s lives more than once. They are raising them to be liars and sneaks. I think both parents should be put in prison for quite some time. Pay a huge fine. And those three boys taken away from them and put into a safe environment where they can get a normal education.
