BUSTED!!!

The kid says they did it for show! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wI6UONWCq7A

Listen to the father try to recover from it! Oh my god, I could barely watch.... so awkward.... I think the dad poops his pants when the kid spills the beans... you can hear it on the video

and later: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxtFXtiUbbw

crazy... it's the MOST awkward thing I've ever seen

I watched the video, but remember, this kid is not a 100% reliable witness, so any "busted!!" comment based on what he said is not 100% reliable.

I thought the kid might have said that he heard them shouting his name because he thought that's what they wanted him to say. Then when asked why [he didn't answer their calls], he offered what seemed to him to be a reasonable answer: for the show. That doesn't make it true.

The kid appears to be confused about the difference between TV and reality, and with good reason.

Not to be too serious here, but if I was talking to CNN and my kid said something that appeared to bust me, I might poop too, whether it was true or not.

Meh. They've got the motive, the timing is impeccable as they're making the reality show at that time, the dad's reaction clearly showed signs of guilt as he fumbled and mumbled trying to find a proper answer and ends up trying to put the blame on CNN... there's just too many wrong thing that converged on that guy.

I think they pulled the stunt for the reality show they were making and probably even had the blessings of the local sheriff department (a nudge and a wink with the top dogs in the dept) but somehow it got out of hand and it got not only nationwide, but WORLDWIDE coverage.

They tried to roll with the punches and made use of it but tripped.

@geneven: if it were me, I'd ask the kid to explain what he meant on camera. "OMG They're onto us!" wouldn't be the first thing that came to my mind.

You mean its not a massive RNC plot to get Obama's speech taken off to chase a runaway balloon??

I am pretty sure the first rule of searching a missing child is search everywhere on the property? These cops are freaking idiots.....

Oh my, what a classic! When I read about this the first thing that came to my mind was The Simpsons episode - Radio Bart and 12 Monkeys

I thought to myself, "I remember this, the boy is hiding in a barn!"
