If this is a Hoax, i don't find it funny at all & feel like they Parents should be charged. I watched the whole thing on T.V. until the Balloon landed in the cornfield praying the little boy was safe & unharmed. When NO boy came out my heart sunk, just thinking this little boy may have fell out. I'm glad the boy was safe but not funny if a hoax. Thanks

The thing that gets me is they did it all to land a new "Reality" Show! Is anybody else out there as sick as I am of these so-called "Reality" shows?

Some people shouldn't have children & this is a perfect case. I hope they face every charge that can be slapped on them. I only ones I feel sorry for are the innocent kids.
