“It has been determined that this is a hoax“, Sheriff Jim Alderden of Larimer County, Colorado

I sat with countless others around the country and around the world on Thursday, watching the ‘balloon boy’ saga. A final kick in the ass is that it’s the big hoax we all starting thinking it was soon after little Falcon was found in the attic of the family garage. Being eccentric, in and of itself, isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but to be eccentric AND drag your child(ren) into your disturbed plans is ridiculous, not to mention wasting the polices time and money. I can only hope that some of the recommended charges stick and are enforced to the fullest extent. Some possible charges include:

• Conspiracy
• Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor
• Making a False Report to Authorities
• Attempting to Influence a Public Servant

The only way this work of fiction could have hit any closer to home, would have been if my daughter-in-law wrote it herself. Faith Hope, mentioned many times previously on this site was a living, breathing Angel and she suffered from the very condition, Holoprosencephaly, which afflicted the child in Beccah Beushausen’s warped imagination.

I’m dumstruck, angry, confused and saddened by this farce, and can only sit here and wonder what exactly this did for Mommy Dearest. Did the attention make her feel better about herself while she was busy emotionally robbing people. Did it make her hurt less for her own personal losses earlier in life.

I don’t think its possible for me to care any less for her emotional state or her losses.

If you went through anything even close to this before in your life, why in the name of God would you put yourself through it again by way of lies?

When Faith Hope was born and throughout the pregnancy, our family came together in ways I never dreamed posssible. We were blessed with 2 1/2 months with Faith and there is nothing I wouldn’t give to have just one more minute of that. Beyond the hatred I feel for Beccah Beushausen, I feel for the people that put their hearts on the line, that prayed daily for a precious life that never existed.

In closing, I hope Beccah gets the help she needs, Lord knows, she needs alot of it.

But, any hell that coming clean has brought upon her, is fully deserved. You enjoyed your 15 minutes of fame but the fallout will last so much longer.
