I'm not sure if you knew it, but the second I saw the parents, I remembered them from the "Wife Swap" show, he was a total dick on that show.
I noticed that this morning when I saw him on the TV. He is some kind of amateur 'storm chaser' and self styled mad professor -- and you are right, he came across as a total dick on wife swap, and his wife is a fruit cake as well.
Hate to say it, but I'm thinking this whole thing was a hoax too. The way the dad reacts when wolf blitzer asked him to ask the kid what he meant by that was really defensive.
Also not cool that they don't stop the interview when the kid blows his cookies. The mom doesn't even get off her chair. Geeze.

They have to be able to bust them for lying, without discouraging scared parents from calling 911 for a missing child. Even if he/she is just hiding or off somewhere safe. Dont want the populace afraid of being billed 50 grand if their kid turns up safe.
I think they're fine now to bust them outright. That family pretty clearly knew he was safe all the time.
Anyway...there's no way these attention whores will weasel their way out of this. They'll get slapped with a giant bill. Emergency services cost a lot of money.
The best were the 5 or 6 CNN Headline News panelists who were saying this was an attention thing as they all fought for attention on screen as each of them are attention whores themselves.
Okay I'm going out on a limb here, but anything is plausible with this wacky family. Here goes:
1) The parents, especially the dad, spends so much time attention whoring and devotes the time off camera not on his family but on more antics to do for the camera.
2) The mom is totally an enabler and a co-dependent, who is now addicted to media attention and cannot focus enough attention on her boys because of her immature husband.
3) The dad probably kept brushing off Falcon if he ever asked dad to do anything, by telling him he was building the balloon for "a show." So of course, Falcon feels that his dad values being on tv and having his things on tv more than he values his son.
4) Falcon, having been kept away from this amazing shiny, floaty thing that is forbidden to go near/touch is curious and at the same time resentful.
5) Like a normal 6 year old, his curiosity got the better of him and when no one was paying attention, he went to check it out and untied it to play with it like a kite.
6) The thing was probably too much to handle for a little 6 year old, and it got away from him. Falcon, knowing his dad was going to kick his ass (selfish parents are often pretty rough with their kids) ran and hid in the garage.
7) His parents, although attention grubbing whores, found themselves in a situation where they didn't plan for this to happen, but will still milk as much press time out if it as possible, have probably beaten and shamed Falcon for losing something of such great value and made him feel super shitty, and devalued about the whole thing.
