This has been a wacky week in the news world, thanks to the crazy story of the Heenes. It all started with a police report that stated that their youngest son Falcon had been flown away in a flying saucer that the family had built.
This saucer was filled with helium, and flying hundreds of feet (if not thousands) above the ground, being followed by the FAA and news helicopters alike. The nation watched the plight of this saucer on the edge of its seat, fearing the worst possible outcome for young Falcon.
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.
Everything then took a turn for the worse and it became obvious that the entire incident was a staged one. The public had been taken for a ride by the Heene family.
The entire ordeal ran a cost of $2 million, and many are wondering if the Heenes should be criminally charged for this mess should the facts show that they were responsible for it.
Having cost the government and news organizations over 2 million dollars, any other crime that "stole" money from people would carry criminal charges.
Criminal charges are expected to be filed shortly, and with good reason. This behavior was fraudulent and deserves the appropriate punishment that typically goes with that behavior. I have to feel for the innocent kids for having a set of low life parents.
