I don't think they have ANY responsibility in acknowledging ANYTHING regarding their children's personal medical condition. Some celebs make their childrens condition very public and it's for good reason and awareness, but choosing to remain private is also for good reason and a very basic right of the parent and even moreso, the child.
The fact that he was rarely seen in public isn't necessarily akin to having only caretakers and nannies take care of their kid - and celebrity gossip forums are about as reliable as a lying man, LOL. Fact is, John Travolta and his wife aren't a big part of the Hollywood nightlife, and it seems like they have NEVER been. I'd be willing to bet that this couple is/was one of few that DO take a very active role in parenting their children, regardless of what celebrity gossip sites say. They were, after all, all together on a FAMILY vacation. Lots of celebs wouldn't even bother bringing the kids along.
Peace to John and his family.
This can't be easy for John and Kelly but with this bit of info coming out it's going to be a lot harder for them. They've dodged rumors for years about how they refuse to treat his disorders and won't even acknowledge if he has Autism or not. Celebrity gossip forums run wild with how both parents let caretakers and nannies take care of him, he was rarely seen in public.
Very sad.
This is being discussed on Larry King now (MT time zone) and I have to say the film of JT with Jett, holding on to him....is troubling.
I don't think they dodged anything. I think they spoke the truth and no one wanted to believe it.

Why is it that when we Like someone as in John Travolta, I know I do....back from the days of Grease with our own Olivia Newton John...
Why is it that we go into complete defence mode that anything of any untoward doing might have occured ? and others get jumped on for mentioning something could be wrong ?
Yet when its someone that is not popular in the public eye, and not well known/liked whatever , everyone is ready to crucify them and say they must have done xyz ?
Isn't human nature strange !
.
I totally agree with you. I mean really.....how do we really know the caretaker or someone else didn't slam his head ? Can they even tell if someone actually was having a seizure at the time if death?
Honestly, I am not even HINTING that the above happened...just making the point
because says so. end of story.Um why not ?
Its part of who Jett was.
because says so. end of story.
THis story is just painful for me to hear. My son had a seizure behind the wheel last night he is still in the hospital but boy do I feel lucky
I am sitting here with him in his hospital room and my heart breaks for the Travoltas as they are living my nightmare.
