So I deleted it. Short version: I'm not at all surprised it's a hoax. I'd have been more surprised if it hadn't been, and I'm pretty pleased they actually didn't endanger their son.<br /><br />Of course, they're getting exactly what they wanted: non-stop news coverage and becoming a household name.
