I've already posted this elsewhere, but I'm thinking this is for publicity. I hope I'm wrong but take the following into consideration:
1) The storm-chasing father has made an experimental, weather balloon.
2) The parents of this kid were on the TV show "Wife Swap".
3) The storm-chasing father needs to market his weather balloon.
4) The parents may not only be obsessed with storm chasing, but with media attention.

Hoping this boy is ok. I've been following this story since it broke.

There's so many conflicting reports. I heard he fell out before it took off - if that's the case, where is he?

The fourth picture shows what appears to be a door slightly opened.

""The basket itself was not breached. It does not look like he fell out of it, but again, this is all conjecture."
"I'm very confident we will find him. I think it's a matter of him being a little scared," she said. "Maybe he's not ready to be found."

Let's hope he undid the balloon a hid in fear that he would get in trouble.

It's Obama's fault.
