What a weird week it's been as far as current events go. I'm sure that by now you've heard about the Heene incident, as the balloon boy story was captured by just about every major media outlet. The Heene parents decided to call authorities to let them know that their son Falcon had been taken into the air by a homemade balloon.
What made it all even odder was the fact that this balloon resembled an alien spacecraft, as it was built in the mold of a flying saucer. It quickly rose thousands of feet into the air, and authorities frantically chased it down, trying to save the boy's life.
A few hours later as the helium died down, the flying saucer came into a very surprisingly soft descent, landing on the ground but still leading authorities to believe that the worse was be to expected. Somehow, Falcon wasn't inside the balloon. Where was he? Hiding in the family's attic.
Shortly after this all occurred, the family decided to conduct an interview with CNN. While telling their story, Falcon had inadvertently told the camera that he was hiding because the parents had asked him to. This set off a chain of confusion and speculation about the entire incident.
This led many to speculate that the Heenes had staged the entire incident, which raised serious ethical questions. How could someone pretend that the life of their son was on the line, simply for the prospect of fame?
Their 15 minutes of fame came at a big cost though, and someone has to pay the price for it.
Having cost the government and news organizations over 2 million dollars, any other crime that "stole" money from people would carry criminal charges.
Criminal charges are expected to be filed shortly, and with good reason. This behavior was fraudulent and deserves the appropriate punishment that typically goes with that behavior. I have to feel for the innocent kids for having a set of low life parents.
