If it was a stunt to get them airtime...and they are found guilty...they should have to pay for all the efforts that tracked down the ballon.

If you watched the launch video, it's totally obvious there is NO WEIGHT in the baloon. The kid was never in it. It was a stunt 100%

Colorado may not have a law covering balloon launches. Probably be something to do with the hoax and costing thousands of dollars to chase the thing.

Either way Cap, they need your prayers.

The saga continues..............

The parents weren't under arrest, the sheriff said. He said he expected to recommend charges of conspiracy, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, making a false report to authorities and attempting to influence a public servant. Federal charges were also possible.
The most serious charges are felonies and carry a maximum sentence of six years in prison and a $500,000 fine. Alderden said they would be seeking restitution for the costs, though he didn't have an estimate.
The cost for just the two military helicopters was about $14,500.
