I read he is an ex-weather forcaster, and is now a stormchaser and scientist.
Makes one hope this is just not a big publicity stunt for something? Hopefully the missing child was just over to a friend house and no one knew of his whereabouts.

Yea. Most new channels are not covering, well covering other things. HLN is the only one still covering it.

As of 6:00 PM ET, Nothing confirmed on the story yet except that the balloon came down without the boy in it.

Boy still missing.

Strange!

Yep. He was found at home (garage attic?) hiding.

Thanks God he's OK.

Still a very strange story! More to come I guess.

Glad to hear he was found and is OK. Sounds like he was hiding in a box in the Attic.
Local talk radio show was talking about the family tonight. Parents are evidently storm chasers and once filmed themselves along with children driving through a Hurrican in order to get into the eye of it.
Another video they state is out on the net is of the Children spoofing a Rap video, complete with F-Bombs and a "bathroom scene" that made the people at the radio stations jaws drop. Must have been pretty bad.
Sounds like the two videos are readily available on the internet?
Sounds like a fine job of parenting all around if you askk me.

Yea. Almost makes you wonder if it all was a publicity stunt.

It's good to hear he is OK.
No matter how bad we think they are as parents they seemed genuinely concerned about it.

I remember when I was around 6 our neighbors son who was around the same age burned down their house.
He was in a closet playing with matches and got a fire started.
They thought initially he had perished in the fire but found him a couple of hours later hiding in the woods behind the house.
He knew he was going to be punished and didn't want to be found.

Yep on both spots, Buck and Cavu. I don't give a rip about the Ahole parents when it comes to a 6yo.

I too remember as a young boy. A boy about 6 down the street took a lantern into a tent in his front yard, knocked it over and burned to death.

I'm truly happy for Falcon (the little boy's name). May he be blessed. And may his parents get help.

I think that is generally what happens when dumbasses have kids. Poor little boy.

Good thing the kid is safe...no matter what the outcome might be for the parents...

The one thing I was watching with interest earlier, was how close that mylar balloon was getting to those high-tension wires...on a number of occasions.

Wanna talk about news in the making? That would have been a sight, although at the time I was hoping for a miss, because I thought the boy was still aboard...
