A happy ending, I would ask, how was the balloon tethered that they even thought a six year old could get in it and be taken away. There may be a wake up call there for them to look at that.

Found alive and well in the attic. Happy ending

I see people have commented on the sky site that this could be a publicity stunt? Never entered my head.

This reminds me of this joke

Teds boss was very surprised that ted didn't turn up for work this morning as he was most punctual so he decides to ring ted at home.The phone is answered by a very quiet little boys voice saying hello,ah hello says teds boss,can i speak to your daddy please,no came the very quiet reply he is talking to the police,worried the boss says well can i speak to your mummy please and again a very quiet voice says no she is waiting for the helicopter teds boss is very worried now and he asks what the helicopter is for and the quiet little voice says it is looking for someone so teds boss asks who it is looking for,there was a little giggle and then the quiet little voice replies ''ME''

Much better to have been found like a blob of strawberry jam on an interstate highway.

That'll teach 'em. Probably right about the publicity crap, Hope they get done for it.

just shows that the police can be absolute idiot half the time.

It was a publicity stunt by the parents - the kid admitted it, in an interview, much to the embarresment of the parents:

They should take him up in a hot air balloon, a proper one so he gets all excited, and then chuck him out. I doubt if the kid thought of it though. His folks should get a very heavy book thrown at them and the kid should be put into care.
