What is your point of view on "The Balloon Story"? Do you agree or disagree with the charges? How do you feel about the children's role in this?

I think this whole balloon incident was funny. I do not think that it was the safest or smartest thing for the family to do as a hoax but the fact that it happened was funny. The chargers to the parents will stick and I would have to agree with them. The US airport had to shut down flights over the area which hurt the airport's business. I believe the crime is also classed under a misdemeanor which should be sentenced. What does bother me the most is the child’s role in this. How can a parent pretend that their child is in a hot air balloon when he’s up stairs hiding in an attic? While it is funny, it is also disturbing.
