Penguin Story all Wet
Story aired: Friday, December 02, 2005



Officials at the New England Aquarium are so concerned about a rumor that's going around that they held a press conference yesterday to put a stop to it.

The story is that a 12-year-old boy with autism visits the aquarium with his mother. She loses him in the crowd. When she finds him, he's agitated. They go home, she gives the boy a bath to calm him down and when she checks on him, the boy is splashing around in the bath with a penguin he smuggled home in his backpack.

We just had to get to the bottom of this.

Guests:


New England Aquarium in spokesman Tony Lacasse
