"The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven" admits he was lying.

[Nope]

The mom has a blog called, Lifes a Journey. It sounds as if part of this announcement is because her son's imaginary trip to heaven goes against her interpretation of the bible. According to her, her son has not gotten any money from the book or movie and money set aside by friends has already gone toward Alexs care.

When my kids were six they had great imaginations. Sometimes they could go into great detail. It doesn't surprise me that a child who has just undergone a frightening car accident might invent a heaven/hell scenario if his parents were religious. It isn't lying so much as pretending and having stupid adults for parents. Most parents would assume the child was trying to comfort themselves and not written a book about the event.

Unless, apparently, their name was Malarkey.

Yeah, that name should have been a big clue. In fact, I thought maybe you had accidentally taken an Onion article seriously and then realized that Alex Marlarkey apparently really exists. Lol
