Heene Family Will Be Charged With Fraud

By Rory Green


What a weird week it's been as far as current events go. I'm sure that by now you've heard about the Heene incident, as the balloon boy story was captured by just about every major media outlet. The Heene parents decided to call authorities to let them know that their son Falcon had been taken into the air by a homemade balloon.

What made it all even odder was the fact that this balloon resembled an alien spacecraft, as it was built in the mold of a flying saucer. It quickly rose thousands of feet into the air, and authorities frantically chased it down, trying to save the boy's life.

When the saucer landed, it was opened up very cautiously, as no one knew the fate of Falcon. Surprisingly, he was nowhere to be found inside the saucer. Minutes later, it was revealed that Falcon had been hiding inside the family's attic.

Later that night, the Heenes decided to go onto CNN with Wolf Blitzer to tell the nation of their story. Everything seemed rather ordinary until Falcon blurted out, on camera, that he had been instructed by his parents to hide in the attic for the TV show.

This led many to speculate that the Heenes had staged the entire incident, which raised serious ethical questions. How could someone pretend that the life of their son was on the line, simply for the prospect of fame?

Clearly, the Heenes made the entire incident up because they wanted a reality TV show. They sacrificed the integrity of our nation's emergency system for their own gain.

The costs associated with the chase were high, as was the media coverage. Simply put, you don't toy with anyone's emotions like this, especially when it involves the life of your own son.

The Heenes will likely be charged from here, and they deserve whatever they get for such immature and selfish behavior. I pity the children who have to grow up with such parents. They don't deserve to endure whatever it is that they're about to go through.
