    Yep, TV reporting he never left home. Sounds like he might have accidently let the balloon loose and his brother made up the story about him climbing in.

    Think he's PO'd now? Wait until he gets the bill from all those 1st Responders :D

    LOL, that's what I'm thinking.

    Now that I know the kid is OK, I don't mind saying how freaking stupid those parents are for having something like that readily available for a kid to let it loose...Morons.

    They deserve every penny they have to pay.

    Sadly, I was saying that while the boy was M.I.A.. It's amazing the things that could be prevented by PAYING ATTENTION TO YOUR CHILDREN! ugh.

    And although the child is okay, if he wasn't...it would have been no ones fault but the parents!!!





    That boy is in BIG trouble. He should just be lucky he isn't my child.

    Thank God he is alive, but WTF is something like that readily accessible for a 6-year old to set free or even climb into?

    Scary stuff.

    Kids at that age (especially boys) will do the goofiest things. It seemed like a great idea at the time to a six year old mind.
    I gotta admit, that was one of the goofiest things I've seem in a while.:n00b:
