Ballon Mom Admits Hoax

By now everyone knows the Heene family's stunt they pulled with their son missing in a balloon was a hoax. Of course the dad kept denying it saying they had no idea their son was really hiding in their attic. The mom admitted yesterday that the whole thing was a hoax. She told sheriff's deputies that she and her husband "Knew all along that Falcon was hiding in the residence" in Fort
Collins, according to an affidavit used to get a search warrant for the home. She told investigators the incident was a hoax because they wanted to become more marketable to the media. They even told their kids to lie to authorities and to the media. Of course her husband is still saying it wasn't a hoax and that he had no idea what was going on. Sheriff deputies hope to have formal charges made against them next week. As we've said before, the extremes parents go through to exploit their children for a little fame. It's sad and pathetic.
