Balloon boy announcement from his Dad Richard Heene
Richard Heene, solid patriarch of the Balloon Family, will be making a “big announcement” at a press conference outside his home today at 10 am CMT. He at the center of the “Balloon Boy” controversy reiterated this morning that the reported disappearance of his 6-year-old son aboard a helium balloon in the skies over Colorado was not a hoax.
“Friends are telling me they’re saying this and that,” he said this morning about the allegations. “I have no idea what the news is saying – I don’t have cable. Okay?”
“Can we just ask our questions at all?” said one of the reporters assembled.
“No. Not at all,” he replied.
When a reporter asked, “Would you just say once and for all, was this some sort of publicity stunt? Was this a hoax? And will you talk to the police today?”
“Absolutely no hoax,” was Heene’s reply. “I want your questions in the box. I’ll get right back to you. Okay?”
On Friday, two of the Heene boys could be seen playing in the backyard and peeking through windows at reporters on the street. One of the boys, Ryo, would occasionally crack open the door and tell journalists that the family was not talking today.
“My dad said he’s tired of this show,” the boy said.
I think this family is just trying to get famous by any means. When that little boy said it was for a TV show he was telling the truth, this is a stunt for fame. Kids are so honest..Lol!
Yes, I agree with you. This is just the show. Also, look into calling -CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES- on these people. The parents are ill to be pulling anything like this and involving their innocent young kids. This Is WRONG. Shame.
