The father of a boy thought to have been carried away by a helium balloon before being found at home has denied that the incident was a media stunt.
Richard Heene said he was "appalled" at suggestions the disappearance of his son Falcon, six, may have been staged.
Speaking live on CNN, Falcon had said he heard his family searching for him but stayed quiet because his parents "said that we did this for a show".
Richard Heene and his wife previously appeared on reality TV show Wife Swap.

This is a weird video in which Falcon on CNN’s Larry King Live appears to admit the Balloon incident was an elaborate hoax.
Falcon’s Dad: “Did you hear us calling your name at any time?”
Falcon: “Mmm hmm.”
Falcon’s Dad: “You did?”
Falcon’s Mom: “You did?”
Falcon’s Dad: “Then why didn’t you come out?”
Falcon: “You guys said that, um, we did this for the show.”
