Heene Parents Deserve Their Punishment
November 7th, 2009 by Rory Green
What a weird week it’s been as far as current events go. I’m sure that by now you’ve heard about the Heene incident, as the balloon boy story was captured by just about every major media outlet. The Heene parents decided to call authorities to let them know that their son Falcon had been taken into the air by a homemade balloon.
This saucer was filled with helium, and flying hundreds of feet (if not thousands) above the ground, being followed by the FAA and news helicopters alike. The nation watched the plight of this saucer on the edge of its seat, fearing the worst possible outcome for young Falcon.
A few hours later as the helium died down, the flying saucer came into a very surprisingly soft descent, landing on the ground but still leading authorities to believe that the worse was be to expected. Somehow, Falcon wasn’t inside the balloon. Where was he? Hiding in the family’s attic.
Later that night, the Heenes decided to go onto CNN with Wolf Blitzer to tell the nation of their story. Everything seemed rather ordinary until Falcon blurted out, on camera, that he had been instructed by his parents to hide in the attic for the TV show.
From here, it became quite apparent that this family may have actually staged the whole thing, as they were seeking fame and media attention.
Their 15 minutes of fame came at a big cost though, and someone has to pay the price for it.
Having cost authorities boat loads of money, scaring a nation, and playing around with our emergency response system, there are criminal implications that come with this behavior.
As such, there’s no legitimate reason to believe that this should be treated any differently. These parents should both do some time in jail. Their spectacle was pathetic.
