Hoax?

Now it seems the parents may have released the helium balloon as a way to get on television. If that is the case, I am very disappointed that someone could put people in such turmoil. What a cruel trick. I wanted to give the parents the benefit of doubt. I am not sorry that I believed the story and prayed for the little boy. The boy needs our prayers whether he was in the balloon or not. Actually, the whole family still need our prayers. Hopefully they have learned a valuable (and expensive) lesson.
