Kid was hiding in a box in the attic.

Yeah, I think someone needs to question the older brother a bit more. He was the one who said he saw his little brother climb in the box and later said he saw him fall out (what, and the 1,000,000 people watching it on t.v. missed that?). Seems to me he knew the whole time that little brother wasn't in there.

Someone needs to question the deputies who searched the house the first time.

Apparently, the family was interviewed last night on the Larry King Live show. The boy was asked if he heard his family calling him when he was hiding. He said, "Yes." The dad said, "You did?!" The mom said, "You did?!" When he was asked why he didn't come out, he said, "Because you said...it...was for a show."
There are so many questions that need to be answered.

Kids pull stunts like that all the time. Didn't you ever hide from your parents? Lie to them? Didn't you ever once have a sibling or friend as an accomplice?
Sure, they should both be punished, but the expense of calling out the National Guard and all the news networks - and the fact that that might happen - is really beyond the scope of a child's understanding.Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler

That is so sad--making your kid lie so that you can get publicity. People are sick. Originally Posted by pfunk12
