Bad Parents - no biscuit

The boy and his balloon incident has apparently been determined to be a publicity stunt according to Larimer County (Colo.) Sheriff Jim Alderden, a hoax that didn't even stand up to scientific scrutiny if anyone had thought to bother about it while it was happening. Nobody has been arrested yet, but charges may be in the offing. The charges may include three felony charges - conspiracy between the husband and the wife to commit a crime, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and an attempt to influence a public servant - and a misdemeanor charge - filing a false report. Apparently it was the television interviews that did the family in.
