Balloon Boy Spawns Criminal Investigation!

Filed under: Legal Matters

The Larimer County Sheriff's Department will conduct interviews with Balloon Boy and his family, which may lead to a criminal investigation due to filing a false report.

According to a Sheriff's official, the interviews will begin tomorrow because "their physical and emotional state as of this morning is not well."

Considering the on-camera barfing and back-to-back shameless interviews, they could probably use a breather before they're taken for all they're worth!

      Good, that shit was clearly fake. the kid just confirmed it.

      Haha, this wacko family better think twice before pulling a publicity stunt next time. The dad scares the crap out of me… looks like a fucking abusive psycho path.

      What a fucking scam that was. I hope they throw the book at the parents and take the kids away from the. HOW dare them make the country go in a tail spin worrying about the little kid and it turns out they knew where he was the whole time. FUCKING DOUCHE BAG LOSERS. Their own kid said it on live TV and cuz he knew he was going to get fucked he threw up. The father is a freak .

      What i want to know is which family in their right mind decides" Oh today i am going to build this UFO looking thing" FOR WHAT? To go to the park one random day and fly it????????????????



    5. 5

      Well, this has turned into quite thee circus.



    6. 6

      these parents deserve to have the law up their butt. this was entirely preventable and completely inexcusable.



    7. 7

      Mario get your facts straight before you go jumping to conclusions!!

      You will owe this Family an apology once this is over.

      This "mob" mentallity is so damn dangerous!!



    8. 8

      oh hell yes, make them pay up for their little show.



    9. 9

      This wasn't a hoax, and this story is now getting overblown. The son is safe at home and the parents are lucky nothing happened to the kid.

      LUV, LUV, LUVSSSS IT! BUT I MUST SAY I HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE, HHHHMMMM? LIKE WATCHING A REAL LIVE "MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE", CRAZY BRAINLESS MOTHER, DOUCHEBAG FATHER, 3 CRAZY KIDS, PUKING ON TV, LYING TO THE POLICE, COSTING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO THEIR TOWN, I THINK THAT WAS EPISODE 40 OF THE SERIES :)

      Do you copy and paste everything from T M Z ?



    12. 12

      Good they need to get in trouble for doing this!!



    13. 13

      i think all of this is bullshit . i feel sorry for the kids . i dont think for now that the kids should be taken away, but i do think the parents should have there asses kick.

      I agree, this is getting blown out of proportion. Mario, you're assuming these people are lying and you're making assertions that may not be true. Yes, this is a strange family, and people like to make fun of weird people (it's called bullying), but they may be telling the truth and this is their worst nightmare. Like with so many other people you try to bring down, you may want to back off. Your karma's going to be a real bitch.

      Wow those boys are HOMELY!



    16. 16

      good….something aint right there for sure



    17. 17

      there should be a criminal investigation. government doesn't like wasting tax dollars on civilians trying to earn notoriety or whatever the fuck those parents were doing, especially at their children's expense. idiots



    18. 18

      Re: PixiePeet – What kind of immature ASS says rude things like that about little kids? I'm sure you're no prize.



    19. 19

      abso-fucking-lutely there should be an investigation - and a HUGE Fine.
      -
      Little boy said it all: "We did it for the show"
      -
      Rotten family, tons of tax dollars WASTED - family needs to pay it back. ALL of it. Won't happen, but they should be found liable. They will not die if they lose their home and have to rent an apartment - millions do.
      -
      Maybe the parents, kids and OTHERS will think twice prior to a scam. Remember the run-a-way bride wingnut? Why did she have to pay it all back???



    20. 20

      Just an FYI - the Jimmy Kimmel skit about this last night was hysterical !!!



    21. 21

      Falcon will forever blame himself, and it wasn't his fault.
      .
      Ruined.
      .
      A family, ruined.
      .
      So sad.



    22. 22

      Wow, even more interesting is the actual "life-off" tape the parents are airing - they were both RIGHT there - the little boy did not knock it off the thether and then hide - he wasn't there.
      -
      HMMMMMM, is there jail time for filing a false report that cost the taxpayers upwards of 1MM?
      -
      And I'm still bitching about that psycho bride to be who ran off and never paid back the taxpayers for the hunt for her - I think she paid a $400 fine, some community service — NOT ENOUGH –



    23. 23

      Good. I hope they get in big trouble.



    24. 24

      Re: BottomAceNJ – Lol so true. Nicely put =]



    25. 25

      Good.



    26. 26

      I went over to my moms house for lunch yesterday, and we watched in horror as that ballon sailed across the country side,, how terrible to put people through that,, I am sure mothers all over the country were in tears, thinking that could be their child,, sick sick sick.

      Re: YUCK – No he didn't. The kid on the Early Show today said that his comment was about when some camera crews were there earlier, they wanted him to show them how he got up in the attic, and he thought it was a tv show.



    28. 28

      It's pretty sad when the little boy was asked if he could hear them calling his name and he said 'yes' and they asked why he didn't come out, and the kid says 'i did it for the show'. That just goes to prove they asked their young son to lie. This is awful!

      Yeah, if you give a fuck about your kids get them the hell off camera. And your case would look better if you didn't put on a full media blitz yourself.

      Never say never. My cat, "Monsieur Fromage", was taken by an owl and and ishe NEVER came back. I tell myself that she found a new home with people she liked better, but I have a feeling that owl fed her to his babies. So, think about it kids, that balloon is a hell of a lot bigger than an owl, but that kid doesn't look a whole lot bigger than my cat.

      the dad needs to be commited…… the boys need taken away so they can possibly lead a normal life. the wife is just plain stupid :P
