It’s been quite the extraordinary course of events, and it looks like things will continue to get more interesting with the Heene family. The family that desperately wanted fame will get it, though it will come in the form of notoriety. Having told the police that their son was trapped inside a flying balloon, the story quickly gained traction and dominated the airwaves.

What made it all even odder was the fact that this balloon resembled an alien spacecraft, as it was built in the mold of a flying saucer. It quickly rose thousands of feet into the air, and authorities frantically chased it down, trying to save the boy’s life.

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.

Shortly after this all occurred, the family decided to conduct an interview with CNN. While telling their story, Falcon had inadvertently told the camera that he was hiding because the parents had asked him to. This set off a chain of confusion and speculation about the entire incident.

This led many to speculate that the Heenes had staged the entire incident, which raised serious ethical questions. How could someone pretend that the life of their son was on the line, simply for the prospect of fame?

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.
