Haven't you read further?
That was a total publicity stunt. The kid was hiding in the attic the whole time and was never on the balloon.
In fact this family is a bit weird, they chase storms, have appeared on reality shows, and generally seek publicity.
I wonder if they'll have to pay for all the costs for the rescue attempts.
i should probably remove the post, but it's setting up for a good debate whether or not it was a hoax.
Hoax, couldn't lift off with more than 5 lbs in it...

I heard it could lift 80lbs and Falcon (who names their kid that anyway) only weighs 37.
Apparently, there is a "big announcement" coming from the family today.
Have you seen the video of it lifting off?

No, but it sounds like charges will be filed soon.
