Balloon Boy is back, y’all! Remember little Falcon Heene who was believed to have been lost in a homemade hot air balloon last year … and then it was discovered that his father Richard Heene orchestrated the whole thing as a hoax and he was, therefore, sent to jail for his crime? Yeah, that kid and his brothers Bradford and Ryo have started up a little band and RadarOnline has our first look at their debut music video.

The long arm of the law may have reached out and touched the Heene family (the morons responsible for the Balloon Boy Hoax) last month but they still have MUCH they need to repay for their irresponsible actions. The Larimer County District Attorney has reportedly sent a bill of $42,000 to Richard and Mayumi Heene so that they can pay the cost for the emergency personnel who responded to their hoax last October:

The parents in the “Balloon Boy” ruse have been hit with a tab of $42,000 from local, state and federal agencies for their October stunt that briefly left many fearing for the fate of their 6-year-old, their lawyer said Monday. The Heenes’ attorney, David Lane, said the Fort Collins couple isn’t ready to pay up, at least not yet. “Let’s see the bills,” he said. “They’re not paying anything until they see some receipts.” Lane said he was e-mailed the amounts by the Larimer County district attorney’s office. The Heenes reached a plea deal on charges stemming from the October hoax, in which they led the world to believe their 6-year-old son was aboard the homemade craft on its 50-mile flight from their Fort Collins home. They are to be sentenced Wednesday in Larimer County. A judge could determine then what they owe in restitution to the agencies that responded, from police to the National Guard and the Federal Aviation Administration. “If they’ve got records to show these are legitimate costs, then we can discuss it,” Lane said. “But, first off, these people don’t have that kind of money.”

What? No money? Well, isn’t that a shame. For these people to get all high and mighty and demand to see “receipts” for the costs generated by their idiotic sham is laughable. I sincerely hope they are punished with a sentence that fits their crimes. Hopefully a judge will throw the book at them in order to drive home the point that this type of behavior cannot be tolerated. Whether there is jail time served or the family is forced to pay out of pocket for the rest of their lives, they need to pay for what they did. It’s horribly unfortunate that the Heene children have to suffer because of their parents’ irresponsible behavior but the time as come, payment is due — and they have to pay for their idiocy.

Just when you thought you’d heard the last of the Balloon Boy incident comes new word that Richard and Mayumi Heene, the parents of the so-called Balloon Boy Falcon Heene, will plead guilty to charges that they orchestrated the hoax that cost local government tens of thousands of dollars and very valuable man-hours. As you may recall, the Heenes called 911 to report that their son Falcon flew away in a balloon only to have it turn out that no such thing happened and that the whole incident was a hoax to try and generate media attention for the fame-hungry family. After Mayumi Heene admitted that the incident was a hoax, mastermind Richard Heene had no recourse but to plead guilty to charges as well:

The Colorado parents in last month’s notorious “balloon boy” case will plead guilty to offenses for creating a hoax that their son had flown away in a large balloon. Richard and Mayumi Heene are to plead Friday morning in Larimer County Court, according to a statement issued by Richard Heene’s attorney. Mayumi Heene is expected to plead guilty to an offense of false reporting to authorities, a misdemeanor of the lowest level, according to the attorney. Richard Heene is expected to plead guilty to a felony offense of attempting to influence a public servant. Though the Heenes could receive jail time for the charges, the prosecutor has recommended probation, Richard Heene’s attorney said. The threat of deportation for Mayumi Heene was a factor in the plea deal negotiation, the attorney’s statement said. “Mayumi Heene is a citizen of Japan. As such, any felony conviction or certain misdemeanors would result in her deportation, even though her husband and children are Americans,” the statement said. “It is supremely ironic that law enforcement has expressed such grave concern over the welfare of the children, but it was ultimately the threat of taking the children’s mother from the family and deporting her to Japan which fueled this deal.” Prosecutors in the case could not be immediately reached for comment.

Thank goodness … even if these idiots aren’t thrown in the slammer (where they belong) I’m very glad to know that they will have their sorry asses hauled into open court and that convictions will be added to their records. While I personally do not believe they are fit parents to care for their 3 children, I suppose it would be too cruel for the children to suffer in foster homes for their parents crimes. This story has been insane from the get-go … I’m glad it’s finally about to be over, once and for all.

So … remember a couple of days ago when the world was riveted to their TV screens watching what was believed to be a 6 year old little boy, Falcon Heene, floating away (possibly to his death) inside a big, shiny helium balloon? Remember the relief that was felt when it was determined that the boy was NOT in the balloon and was found home safe and sound? Remember when the family did everything they could to appear on every national news program to tell their story … and remember when the little boy at the heart of this story puked on his father on live TV presumably because even he was getting sick of hearing his father spew their story? Yeah, well it turns out that investigators in the case now believe the whole incident was an orchestrated hoax intended to drum up media attention so that the family could enjoy some sort of financial gain (ie. get their own TV series). Even yesterday, Richard Heene (the father of “balloon boy” Falcon) called a press conference asking that interested news outlets provide them with written questions that the family would respond to in due time. It is now being reported that criminal charges may be filed against the family on the grounds that they orchestrated the whole thing:

Deputies searched the home of a couple caught up in Colorado’s “balloon boy” saga after the sheriff said he was pursuing criminal charges in a case that at first sparked fear for the child, then relief he was okay, to suspicions of a hoax. Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden spoke to reporters Saturday to announce “significant progress” in the investigation after a second round of interviews with the family that afternoon. The sheriff indicated the likely charges are misdemeanors and no one in the family will be arrested. Alderden said, given the seriousness of the incident, he would consult with the Federal Aviation Administration and other federal agencies on potential federal charges. Alderden previously said that if the balloon ordeal was a hoax, the parents could be charged with making a false report to authorities, a low-level misdemeanor. “We were looking at Class 3 misdemeanor, which hardly seems serious enough given the circumstances,” Alderden said Saturday. “We are talking to the district attorney, federal officials to see if perhaps there aren’t additional federal charges that are appropriate in this circumstance.” He said deputies wanted a search warrant for the family’s home, and there would be more information at a news conference Sunday. It wasn’t clear where the family was late Saturday night. By 9 p.m., an Associated Press reporter at the family home said the couple hadn’t returned after leaving the sheriff’s office. Their three sons were believed to have been at home being watched by sheriff’s officials earlier in the day, but their whereabouts also weren’t known to reporters in the evening. The Heenes were expected to speak to reporters outside their home later Saturday, after a strange day that began with Richard Heene knocking on the windows of journalists camped outside his home and promising a “big announcement.” Richard Heene later asked reporters to give him their questions in a cardboard box. Heene did field one question from a reporter who asked him to clarify — once and for all — whether the balloon incident was a hoax. “Absolutely no hoax, I want your questions in the box,” Heene replied, and returned to his home, placing the box on his front porch. The “announcement” drew boos and jeers from the reporters. Prior to the news conference, two apparent protesters were seen on the street in front of the house. One had a sign that read: “Put Balloon Boy on TV: America’s Most Wanted.” The other had a sign that said: “10/15/09 We will never forget.”

Misdemeanor nor not, I hope these people are held accountable financially if they are guilty of these charges. They should have to pay for the cost of setting into motion the rescue attempts to “save” their little boy who they reported was flying away in a balloon. Additionally, Gawker PAID for a story by a man, Robert Thomas, who claims that he helped Richard Heene plan the whole hoax many months ago … you can read that story HERE but because it is a paid story, take what you read with a grain of salt. I find the entire matter really shady and do not trust a word that comes out of Heene‘s mouth. If guilty, I hope the Heene‘s are punished to the full extent of the law allowed and are forced to pay back the cost to the public that their alleged actions stole.

UPDATE: Larimer County, CO Sheriff Jim Alderden called a press conference just a few moments ago to announce that the “balloon boy” incident had been ruled a hoax/publicity stunt and reconfirmed that criminal charges are expected to filed against the Heene family:

The case of a giant Mylar balloon, which ascended into the sky late last week amid fears a 6-year-old boy was aboard, has been determined to be a “hoax” and a “publicity stunt,” Larimer County, Colorado, Sheriff Jim Alderden said Sunday. The family of the Fort Collins boy, Falcon Heene, engineered the incident in order to better market themselves for a reality television show, Alderden told reporters at a news conference. The incident Thursday prompted a widespread search, including the Federal Aviation Administration and the Colorado National Guard. It ended when Falcon climbed down from the attic above the garage at the family’s home. Earlier Sunday, sheriff’s deputies were seen entering and leaving the Heene home. A dispatcher with the Larimer County Sheriff’s Department declined to release any information about the search. “We anticipate criminal charges will be filed sometime in the near future,” Alderden told CNN late Saturday. Speculation over whether Thursday’s incident, which prompted a widespread search, was a hoax has mounted against Heene, father of three young boys.

THROW THE BOOK AT THEM!! I’m so glad these idiots are being prosecuted. After the jump, watch video of the sheriff’s press conference announcement …

Okay, so by now you have surely heard about a little 6 year old boy named Falcon Heene who was said to have flown away in a balloon, which set off an expensive search and rescue … only to turn out that the little boy was never in the balloon in the first place and was hiding in a box in the attic of his home:

The story started out humorous … then turned serious out of concern for the boy … then turned joyous once he was found safe and sound … and has now turned into very shady biz. Appearing on Larry King Live on CNN last night, mere moments after the boy was found unharmed, little Falcon was asked by guest host Wolf Blitzer why he didn’t come out of the attic when his parents called out his name looking for him. The little boy, with what looked to be a childlike innocence to tell the truth, admitted on live TV that his parents instructed him to hide because they were “doing it for ‘the show’” prompting his father to fidget and attempt to change the subject. Then this morning, the entire Heene family appeared on The Today Show and while his father was telling the story for the umpteenth millionth time, Falcon actually puked in his father’s lap … apparently even he is sick of hearing this story. So … was it a real incident or was it a hoax?

It was, apparently, a heartwarming tale — the 6-year-old Colorado boy who was reportedly carried aloft in a wayward helium balloon on Thursday, only to turn up several hours later after a frantic, widely televised search. Falcon Heene, fearful of being punished for messing around with his father’s balloon, had been hiding out above the garage at the family’s home in Fort Collins, Colo., his parents said. But on Thursday evening, after Falcon and his family appeared on CNN, discussion of the event online turned skeptical. The suspicions began after the family was interviewed by Wolf Blitzer — in the segment embedded below — and the young boy said that he had heard people in the house calling his name but had not responded because, he said to his parents, “You guys said… that, um, we did this for the show.” After Mr. Heene angrily denied that his son was admitting that the whole thing was a hoax, Mr. Blitzer quickly retreated, perhaps fearing that he would be accused of engaging in what is called “Gotcha journalism” with a six-year-old, saying, “I don’t want you to misunderstand, just asking the question doesn’t mean, Richard, that we are suggesting anything untoward or anything like that — we’re just thrilled that Falcon is alive and well.” He added, “I got to tell you personally, as a reporter who reported that he was alive and well, it was a thrilling moment for me.” People inclined to believe that Thursday’s balloon drama was a publicity stunt will want to see this raw video of Richard Heene explaining his “experiment” to reporters on Thursday night. In the video, published by 9news.com, the Web site of a Colorado television news station, Mr. Heene explained that his whole family was present when he launched the balloon and that he hopes that his invention can one day be used by commuters instead of cars. “It’s a low-altitude vehicle,” he said, “and we’re working on a way to perhaps get rid of modern vehicles, so we can just levitate, and go to work at fifty to a hundred feet, to and from work. And this works off a million volts to move horizontally. It uses helium to levitate, much like a blimp.” Then, after appearing to struggle with his emotions while recounting for the press the moment when one of his sons, Bradford, told him that his brother Falcon was inside the experimental vehicle when it took off, Mr. Heene regained his composure and thanked the media “for being kind to me.” One reporter then asked Mr. Heene what he thought his son meant when he told CNN he had hidden out for so long because it was “for the show.” Mr. Heene blamed the media for asking the local police about what he called “this publicity stunt crap.” He added that after “everything that I went through, everything my wife has gone through, I just find that just disgusting, its absolutely appalling to me, after all the crap that we went through, that they would say that. Getting back on track, Falcon is the key thing [...] what I heard him say was something about you guys asking the same question about the attic [...] so I thought he was talking about, when the garage door opened up and all the media was standing there and he was showing them how he got in.” At the very end of the news conference Mr. Heene — who called the 9news television channel for help on Thursday when he said he feared his son was floating away in the craft — told reporters that his family doesn’t watch television and “quite frankly for me its been a luxury not to have cable TV” … After the CNN interview on Thursday, Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden told The Associated Press that the boy’s comment on TV “has raised some questions.” “Our personnel who were dealing with the family all day are convinced this is a legitimate incident and this is not a hoax,” Mr. Alderden told The A.P. But with Falcon’s remark about “the show,” he said his investigators would “go back and further ask the family to cooperate with our investigation through answering more questions and resolve this issue” … On Friday morning, the family members appeared tired and emotional and on the “Today” show on NBC, Falcon vomited on camera.

The Heene family, who claim they don’t watch TV, have appeared on at least one reality TV show — Wife Swap. It’s entirely likely that this whole thing was staged. If you watch video of the interviews, you see that Richard Heene (the father) never really looks into the camera … his nervous and fidgety manner really makes it seem like he is not being truthful. The mother, Mayumi Heene, never offers anything of value and just seems to be going along with the circus. This entire matter seems so shady to me … especially considering that the entire thing was set in motion because the Heene family called the police (click HERE to hear the 911 call) and told them their child flew away in a flying saucer!!!! HELLOOOOOO!!!! After the jump, check out clips of the Heene family on Larry King Live and The Today Show — you make the call if they are lying on camera or not …
