It''s sad that this kid would still be alive if his parents went so pig headed about their religious beliefs over their childs well being. The kid was so autistic he could barely speak if ever. Shame on you John Travolta, you killed your son.

CBS where is the rest of the story? Other stations carried the reports from Doctors who stated that Kawasaki Disease does not cause seizures. It can cause cardiovascular problems. What is the Travolta family hiding? Was their son Autistic and not getting treatment because the Church of Scientology doesn''t recognize Autism? What was the diagnosis behind the seizures that killed this boy?

"Speaking of medication, I think I''''ll get drunk tonite."

Uh-oh.

I read where he was seen going into the bathroom on Thursday and was found in that same place late Friday morning. Was it normal for him to spend 24 hours in the bathroom? We have 2 1/2 baths in my home but if anyone was in one for more then an hour I would at least knock on the door and if no response I would brake the door down. Something seems mighty strange nobody thought to check on him.

You can''''t feel sad on the internet. Thats impossible.

Sure you can. You can feel all emotions. I get tears in my eyes quite often from things I read. Like I got tears from laughing after reading about your budgie "Arseh*le" riding around on your remote control dune buggie.:)

hober_mallow: It was a Mutual Of New York (MONY) commercial. I remember seeing it after Travolta was famous

NOBODY has the right to say anything negative at this time - this is a family that lost a child for God''''s sake.

What a bunch of cold, heartless individuals some of you are!

We all feel sad for the Travoltas. The media has given some facts (well that''s debatable), on certain things and people are questioning things. If we don''t question them now, then when do we get the chance again?

This isn''t quite the same, but I bet you would be one of those people that would sit back and watch while you thought a child was being abused and when the child died, you wouldn''t say a word or question why they died.

I am not saying that the Travoltas have done anything to their child. I am just saying that something like this shouldn''t have happened and probably wouldn''t have happened if he were taking medication to prevent those seizures. It sounds like they were severe and happened quite frequently.

As if you aren''t! Where is your sympathy for the children who die in Africa of malaria because their family can''t afford a $10 mosquito net? Where is your sympathy for the babies abandoned by their mostly unwed mothers? You appear to be able to pick and choose who you are sorry for easily.

It never fails to amaze me at the insensitivity of some of the responses here. When something bad happens, the responses almost always get around to blaming some part of it either on politics or religion. Have a heart people, they''ve lost their only son. Keep your religious beliefs to yourself, as the Travoltas have.

Point missed by those who are incapable of logic and fact, especially the comparison between what law enforcement applies when Jehovah Witness parents deny medical treatment to their child and law enforcement turning the other way when the same thing involves a Scientologist denying medical treatment to their child. We''ll never know what happened to Jett, because Scientology will cover-up the truth and the Travolta''s money and influence will further this continuum. Pity any child born to a Scientologist. If they have special needs, they''re doomed to suffer.

"Kelly is very active in their lives from education to raising awareness about chemicals in homes and things like that and lobbying for, you know, not use of medication to deal with certain issues with children in schools such as ritalin and things like that."

It''s one thing to try and keep a child off ritalin, if you can, but quite another to withhold medication for SEIZURES.

"I attribute everything in my career to Scientology," Preston said in 1997

That just about sums up her lackluster career. It''s a dead heat between her and Tori Spelling over who is the worst actress. Posted by ekucrew

Scientology has sure carried Tom Cruise a long way considering he has absolute no talent.

While so tragic for the Travolta''s, there are far too many questions that will never be answered, adding to the suspicion that in fact Jett may have been autistic. This child obviously needed help and it doesn''t appear that he had been getting it. Posted by Credibility2

This is none of our business. It sounds to me that Jett was living at home and being included in their family with the help of two nannys. The fact that he was not locked away in a back bedroom or in some halfway house tells me the Travoltas were loving and concerned parents who were using their wealth to give Jett as normal of a life as possible.

I''m sorry for John Travolta''s family''s loss.

But it just goes to illustrate that no matter how much money you''ve got, the most important thing you can have is good health.



P.S. Does anyone out there remember that first TV commercial that John Travolta made for the life insurance company? Even in a TV commercial, Travola could convey emotion.
