Tonight I was watching the news with my dad when I saw an interesting story about a 6-year-old boy and a giant balloon. I pulled up the Fort Worth Star Telegram's website and read the entire article. If you haven't read the story yet then you definitely should...it's fascinating. http://www.star-telegram.com/804/story/1688307.html
Honestly, I don't know how the parents didn't check every spot in their house. The search for the boy went on for 2 whole hours. If it had been MY son, I would've searched every closet, every room...everywhere. The fact that they didn't find him for the whole 2 hours amazes me. I also think it's weird that a little 6-year-old boy would sit still and quiet in a cardboard box for 2 hours. The article said that he felt bad after his dad yelled at him, but seriously...2 hours??? I can't wrap my mind around that one.
There's some debate about this being a hoax or not. Some think the family planned this little adventure. I don't think they would plan something like that. I saw the dad cry tears of pure joy tonight on the news because he had his son back in his arms again. I know, it's not always too hard to force tears on camera, but I think it's just a little far-fetched. It's not fair for the media to turn this ordeal around and blame the family. It was an accident, things happen....just not usually with huge airborne balloons.
