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 was no ordinary balloon, it was one shaped and painted like a spacecraft. Filled with helium, it quickly ascended into the air and the media chased it down, everyone having feared the worst for Falcon Heene.
Amazingly, the saucer had a soft landing onto the ground but people were still naturally worried and fearing the worst. Things took an even more interesting turn when Falcon wasn't actually inside the saucer. Very shortly thereafter, the family alerted authorities that he had been in the attic all along.
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.
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?
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.
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.
