UPDATE: Falcon has been found safe!

The 6-year-old boy who was believed to have flown away in a mylar balloon this morning was on ABC’s Wife Swap. His name is Falcon and his parents, Mayumi and Richard, are storm chasers. Read about their offbeat family here. (Not sure which one is Falcon in the photograph.)

When the balloon landed softly in a field, Falcon was not found inside. The search is still on. Hoping for a safe return.

   Jan: “They are a cute family though!”

   LOL, Yeah, if you’re going to an attention whore, then you better be cute.

   Within a minute of hearing this story, I knew this was BS. When you’ve got kids as witnesses, they sometimes make up stories to get attention. Kids sometimes will hide in the house just to get everybody looking for them.

   In this case, however, I think the family is a bunch of attention whores:
