He has a wikipedia page dedicated to him now....bit strange I think....also it says that the balloon's basket wasnt breached so they think he may be on the ground hiding now......

why the **** was he in a ballon anyway?

His parents are like storm chasers and his dad made the balloon as an experiment.....I think that his older brother may have been minding him, im not sure though.

Only a small Child could Fit into it anyway.

Yeah and they wouldnt want to weigh that much either becuase it looked very fragile to me.

Many hitting Youtube to watch Wife Swap clips of the family.

Lets hope the boy was messing with the homemade aircraft which caused it to take off and he ran away..

Yes andyman, that's what i'm hoping for, plus surely no news is good news right?

Well no news is still bad as we don't know if he is alive or dead..

60 miles they gotta check.. Living hell for the family.

yeah very true the most critical time to find somebody after they go missing is the first hour(which would be an hour into the flight of the balloon when they were tracking it)

He's been found alive and well at his home.

He was hiding in a box in his home. :shocked:

For Once a happy Ending
the 6 year old was hidden in the Loft
he is safe and well.


SkyNews Live.

Oh well at least he is ok.

Glad he's okay, just a bit concerned that the parents couldn't find they're own son in their own home for what? over 4 hours???? something dodgy there.

So pretty much a publicity thing as predicted.

They will give him some milk and cookies and send him to bed,he has had a tiresome day.

Apparently the little boy said his family did it for the show :|

Props. You called it.

Homie was hiding in a box in the attic the entire time. :joker:

Thats what the little kid said on Larry King live, but you never know.

Hes just a kid, probably was confused by the question.

He and his family were on the ABC show Wife Swap.

I feel it was set up.
Just watched the Dads reaction of getting him back on GMTV, sounded VERY rehearsed and fake and even the presenters suspected it was a hoax.
Was for some stupid publicity...

What some people will do for 5 mins of fame.

Breaking News!

U.S. Sheriff: Charges to be filed over disappearance of boy that led to balloon chase.
