A student who says he worked with Richard Heene, the amateur scientist from Colorado whose family is being scrutinized after the high-flying balloon scare involving his 6-year-old son, claims to have proof that the incident was not an accident, according to The Business Insider.The student, who remains anonymous, told The Business Insider that he worked with Heene in 2009 on potential reality show proposals to pitch to ABC, one of which was similar to the incident Thursday in which the boy was feared carried away in a homemade balloon -- only to be found safe back at home.The saga grew stranger by the day. Richard Heene knocked on the windows of journalists camped outside his home early Saturday and promised a "big announcement" in a few hours, then did an about-face when he told reporters that they should leave questions in a cardboard box on the front doorstep."Absolutely no hoax. I want your questions in the box," Heene said, waving a cardboard box before going back in the home.A circus-like atmosphere formed outside the home, including men holding signs and occasionally yelling "balloon boy." One sign read, "Put balloon boy on TV: America's Most Wanted."
This is the most disgusting story I have heard anybody doing for a reality spot and then to go on television and say it wasn't! Wow! Oh my goodness, what is this world coming to? From the reality with the center of attention on the couple not working on things and not the kids in a whole to this incident. People need to grow the hell up! Who in their right mind would allow this kind of exploitation of their kids? We are suppose to protect them not harm them by word of mouth or physically or mentally or emotionally....I hope the government presses charges as to this is what this pig needs.
Why I felt this way, well lets just say I fight tooth and nail to protect my kids and he made it out that the kid thought this all out and decided to go against his father's wishes to do it, wait he's not a father. I was aggitated by the media feeling it was ok to follow the story the way it did. Like when they went on television and their son was with them, what were they thinking, was the kid really sick, or sick to his stomach from his nerves as he knew the truth and they were shot? To lie and decieve is why this country feels it is ok to have no morals in truths anymore. I'm just disgusted.
