Boy in the Balloon Appeared on 'Wife Swap'

UPDATE: The boy was not in the balloon when it landed.

The boy currently flying over Colorado in a homemade flying saucer appeared on "Wife Swap" back in March.

Boy in the Balloon Appeared on 'Wife Swap'
Six-year-old Falcon Heene's family is described as "storm-chasing, science-obsessed Heene family from Colorado" on the show's website -- and sure enough, in the background of the family photo, there's another flying saucer.

1. I remeber this one she was a stupid careless mother who loved danger & they swapped her with another mom who is the opposite.

2. I hope he is going to be okay. That is so crazy!!! Most of all where the parents at for this to happen to him. Maybe if the parents were around this would not have happened to him. My prayers go out to him and his family in there time of need.

8. They wanted to have their balloon seen by the world... so they made up the story.

9. Ironically the other family they switched wives with was a family obessed with SAFETY. The mother of this 6 year old had NO concept of the term safety. She was more concerned that her live 'freely' and safety be damned. The mother was a screwball and so was the father. Well, I wonder if this will finally wake them up and become responsible parents. Poor kids.

10. I remember this show the wife was a screaming Asian beeeeotch. Some publicity stunt. They probably missed their 15 minutes of fame. LOOSERS!!

11. You guys are wrong...The four year old's name is Falcon....The 6 year old's name is Raio.
And I agree with #6, Jennifer...and if so, how sick!!!

12. We watched that episode
and that kid's father is
a nut. He screamed at the
other wife and the wife screamed
at the other families husband.
We couldn't believe it, we
said when we watched it that
they shouldn't be able to keep
those kids!!!

14. it could be a publicity stunt for the show "wife swap"

15. The parents are IDIOTS...................hopefully the little boy is fine. The parents on the other hand need to have the other children taken from them, what they do endangers the lives of thier children and has been documented by ABC.............those idiots were on Wife Swap, and show what dangers they expose thier children to !!!
