6 year old boy in runaway helium balloon!

where is the child?????
His sister or brother said he fell out.

well, they are saying it is believed that he was never in it, and about 20 ppl on the ground are searching the area around his home, for him.
We haven't heard that they have spoken to any of the family so far.
The balloon traveled for over an hour, before coming down in a field, where they immediately looked inside,...no child, and then let the helium out.
His dad is a retired meteorologist, and this balloon is homemade. I hope they find him safe, very soon. He is six years old.

It's made the news here too..... same as above, they say the balloon has landed and he's not inside.

Fingers crossed he's just hiding somewhere afraid he's going to be in trouble.

Let's hope that is what happened.

He's been found alive!!!

In the attic over the garage! :shock:

Yep, he and his brother (who knew he wasn't in the balloon) are both in trouble. But i bet the Dad is a bit more careful in the future. at least i hope so. Men never think of the dangers of anything.

Yep, he was found! Hiding in a box in the garage cus he was scared. Just saw the follow-up on the news. The father is hugging him and crying...whew! So glad everything is fine

Thank goodness this story had a happy ending!!! I bet dad keeps a closer eye on his balloon next time!!

Thank goodness he is OK.What a little stinker....hiding out in the attic. After dad gets done hugging and kissing him, bet he is in trouble.
