Starset Princess Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,474 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 11/24/2004	Officials are trying to rescue a 6-year-old boy who climbed into a balloon-like experimental aircraft built by his parents and floated into the sky over eastern Colorado. http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/10/15/colorado.boy.balloon/

My comment is based on the fact that there have been other stories like this, where very young children were in the middle of doing crazy things, and it turned out that an older sibling was more or less "cohersing" the act. I surely hope that the balloon comes down safely with the child inside. This is indeed terrifying. ___________________________ I AM Mrs B... with Lil' B on the way!!! Living life to the fullest...

Now they're saying they don't know if he's still in it. I'm so confused. I hope the boy is okay if he is still in that and that someone is held responsible!
