Their son, Jett, died at age 16. I think he had a seizure. John tried desperately to revive his son, giving him CPR for 45 minutes. Then, the ambulance driver accused John of intentionally killing his son and tried to extort money from the Travolta's.
John and Kelly had to testify in court against the extortionist. Like they have not been through enough? How do you lose a child? And then, I watched this dumb entertainment show where they debated whether the Travolta's had the responsibility to become advocates for autism since it turns out, Jett had autism. They also criticized John for not admitting he had autism before his death.
They finally came to the conclusion that it was alright for John to have kept his son's condition private from the rest of the world and that John and Kelly will probably become advocates after their grieving gets better. This is not our business.
I was so angry that anyone would even consider that John and Kelly had any kind of an obligation to the rest of us, when they are going through such hard times. It is not their responsibility to become advocates for families of autism. If they want to, fine, but the public is just too involved in the stars' lives. I wish John and Kelly peace.
