Balloon Boy's Mother -- It Was All a Hoax

The mother of the "Balloon Boy" has finally come clean, admitting the whole ridiculous fiasco was the hoax everybody knew it was anyway.

In a search warrant affidavit that was released today, Mayumi Heene told sheriff's deputies she and Richard "knew all along that Falcon was hiding in the residence."

In the document, it says "Mayumi described that she and Richard Heene devised this hoax approximately two weeks earlier ... she and Richard had instructed their three children to lie to authorities as well as the media regarding this hoax."

Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden has said he will recommend charges against the family including conspiracy, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, making a false report to authorities and attempting to influence a public servant.

Richard Heene's lawyer, David Lane, said "allegations are cheap" and that he's waiting to see the evidence.

Good for her coming forward and telling the truth. Hopefully, this will help her and her husband deal with reality. They both need to be held accountable for their actions and prosecuted.

I really believe she is a battered wife. It is hard to understand if you have not been one, however a a severely battered wife, (not just physical, mental, verbal and financial) will do anything for acceptance from her batterer.
She does need help.
She needs to distance herself from Richard for sure.

I am sure the E network or TLC will give them a reality show. They seem to put all type of crap on the networks.

I say we tie them to a rock on a mountain and call the aliens to come get them. They would make good test subjects.
