When Does a Hoax Go Too Far?

Balloon Hoax

The world watched anxiously as the rescue efforts for a little boy "trapped" in a homemade balloon ensued. Emergency workers and volunteers worked valiantly to reunite a small boy with his terrified parents. As people chased down the balloon and countless prayers went up to keep this little one safe, he was actually at home safely hidden in his attic. Interviews after the incident revealed that the whole event was actually orchestrated by the little boy's parents for a little more time in the spotlight. When does a hoax go too far? What do you think Grade Seven?
