Agreed. No different than always keeping a firearm locked up.

People should have to take a test before they can have kids.

Unhappy these kids

they were being groomed to be adventurous

which may have exacerbated the problem

"Bob Licko, 65, a neighbor, said he was leaving home when he heard commotion in the backyard.

He said he saw two boys on the roof with a camera, commenting about their brother.

"One of the boys yelled to me that his brother was way up in the air," Licko said."

I bet his 2 brothers put him up to it. THey had the camera out and everything.... very sad if he fell out somewhere along the way.......
I'd be checking that video to verify he actually did leave the ground on the balloon.....

I remember I got my brother to jump off the garage roof with a sheet parachute... didn't get hurt besides a twisted ankle.

Unfortunately, that kid would have either shown up by now, or he fell out somewhere over the 50 miles the balloon traveled.

That was the first thing that came to my mind, weren't the folks making a reality tv show? Great way to get cheap publicity...

Did you see the interview last night with the kid

"Didn't you Here us calling for you?"

"Yes"

"Why didn't you come out"

"Dad said it was for the Show"

Looks like the Dad is an Idiot
