Would failure to provide this information to police hinder their investigation? Obstruction of justice?

What investigation?

After the son slipped in the interview yesterday the sherriff said they would investigate further. To me that means it's still under investigation.

It was kinda obvious after they asked him on the Today Show "what did you mean 'we did it for the show?'" and he just puked in response.

To be fair, he's a kid. Kids puke if you ask them what their favorite Pokemon is. Which I don't. Because I don't care.

With the right number of tequila shots to coax an answer out of them they sure will.

The Sheriff came out tonight and said he doesn't believe its a hoax and it sounds like he's not going to investigate it further. I'm guessing he doesn't want to admit he was taken in by their sham.

I could use $5. How much proof do I need to claim it?

In case you missed it, here's ~~the parent's exploited mealticket~~ poor kid puking his guts out on the Today Show. I guess the Power of Matt Lauer compelled him.

I've already seen the video of the dad launching the balloon with the kid nowhere around. Don't need any more proof, thanks.

I can't help but think that they will get their show, regardless of the hoax.

I could give two sharts for balloon boy or his outstanding family. But, if this is a hoax, I hope that 1) Their kids grow up to be better than their parents and, 2) That they are properly punished for everyone to see.

My hate for this Henne is growing by the minute. I hope those kids make it into adulthood with some of their sanity intact.

Is that of an earlier launch, or of the same launch that spawned the manhunt?

Look at how dad freaks out there at the end and kicks the wooden frame on the ground. I get the feeling daddy's explosive violent temper flares out pretty frequently. Balloon Boy is probably blowing chunks thinking about the bag-of-oranges beating he'll be getting after the interview.
