Three days after the balloon boy incident, Sheriff Jim Alderden of Larimer County stated it was a hoax and the father and mother will likely face federal charges for misleading authorities.
Law enforcement became skeptical when the boy said on CNN's Larry King Live "we did this for the show" when asked why he didn't come out of the attic.

Did the earthquake in Haiti the Swine Flu and the balloon boy happen because of 2012 I am sacred if it happens will there be Internet?
Relax. There are no connections between the earthquake in Haiti, the swine flu, and the balloon boy. They are not some signs of any kind of great doom. The earthquake is a natural disaster that is only caused by the forces of nature. The Balloon Boy Hoax was a parental disaster (the boy's parents planned it as a hoax and the child was never in the balloon) and they may go to jail for doing it. The swine flu is one of countless viruses that circulate among humans and have since the beginning of time. The "end of days" that people are linking to the 2012 date is based on legend and folk tales. Don't be scared. People have incorrectly predicted the "end of the world" for hundreds of years, there's nothing to make me believe they finally have it right now for 2012.
What do you do went the boy goes up in the air on counterfeit island?
There is nothing you can do. This is only a distraction so you can get the attention of the computer player at the Internet Cafe. You will see "balloon boy" later during the Scooter Chase, still floating over the city. (* This is a reference to the US media event of October 15, 2009, when a small boy was thought to be aboard a runaway weather balloon in Colorado. This was later revealed as a deliberate hoax by his parents.)

What do you do when the kid with a balloon flies away on counterfeit island?
Nothing. He is just a distraction to get the old guy at the cafe to pay attention to you when you try to ask him about the lost Underground Tour tickets. You will only see the kid again briefly, during the scooter chase (still floating). "Balloon Boy" is a humorous reference to the exaggerated media concern when a boy was thought to be aboard a runaway weather balloon in Colorado on October 15, 2009. (It was later found to be a deliberate publicity hoax and the boy's father received a jail term.)
