I found this website link, has tons of photos of Jett with his family up to May of this year. Maybe he’s hit puberty and doesn’t want to be in the public eye. As for that other disease, that can be serious concerning the heart, which can explain why he doesn’t ‘fly’ often with the family. Finally there are photos of him looking like his dad, John, and then many looking like his Mom, Kelly. Ella Blue definitely takes after her Dad, thus possibly being favored more. We don’t know the entire family background. But from these photos, I came accross, Jett seems very much part of the family. If autistic, that’s their personal business, if Kawasaki Disease, then they have taken precautions with his health. John might be disappointed that his son is not a little kid anymore, like jumping for hugs, playtime, etc…like his daughter Ella. Have fun checking out baby Jett up to age 15 on that website:

One of John Travolta’s family members has stated that Jett has yet to utter his first word! So, exactly how can he “decide” to tell anyone about his condition or if he wants to be in a movie??? Being in a movie (or not) is the least of Jett’s worries…he lives in a world all his own and doesn’t communicate and his parents won’t even acknowledge his condition, so he has had NO medical treatment because it would involve someone in the psychiatric/counseling/therapy community and they would NEVER agree to that because of Scientology. That breaks my heart. There have been very, very few public pictures of Jett since he was small, until recently, when the paps got shots of him walking on his tiptoes and pulling at his shirt (which can be symptoms of autism) and the Travoltas had no choice but to talk about their son. They are covering their tracks, bigtime, so they can preserve their careers and their reputations. There have been parents who have been arrested when they knowingly refused to get medical attention for their children, even if it was a decision based on their religious beliefs. Yes, that is abuse to neglect to get help for their son, but their celebrity status continues to protect them.

Thank you Colleen! I was just going to say the same thing! These quotes have been taken completely out of context. I’m not a huge Travolta fan…never really have been..but after reading the article last weekend i didn’t get the feeling that he was trying to hide anything in the interview. And perhaps Jett HAS decided that he doesn’t want to act….why do John or Kelly have to talk about him if he’s not interested in the business?? There are MANY celebrities who only talk about their kids that are in the business and many who don’t talk about their kids AT ALL or very rarely. Why is it our business how they choose to parent their children?

FYI to everyone who made a stink about this post about Jett, and the post about Ella starring in a film and Jett having no interest- BOTH quotes are from Parade Magazine. They were said in the same response, to the same question. The question was not about Ella or Jett but rather about continuing the family business.

I agree with Ayla – it is none of our business. One person said earlier that Jett is old enough to decide if he wants to be a movie, he is also old enough to decide if he wants people to know about his condition. They may be trying to protect Jett’s privacy, as he did not choose to be born to 2 celebrities. For all we know if he is autistic, he could react very badly to being in the spotlight.

Lauren, unless you have personal knowledge of their family and life, I think you are being a bit out of line, accusing John and Kelly of child neglect.

I find it highly unlikely that they are “neglecting” the child. He may not be getting the medical care that many think he should be getting……then again, how do we know that??? They could very well be getting him some kind of treatment and not letting anyone know about it.

I have worked with many autistic children. They are not all totally hyperactive and unreachable.. Some are sensitive readers and loners, some like basketball. etc and so on.

They are not retarded. Many do not need very much medication at all since they are not prone to violent outbursts. Many will be able to function well in the world and many will not.

I am going to choose to feel that they are not neglecting or abusing this boy Jett.

Until we have met the child, and the family, and been into their world, I think it is best not to judge how they are taking care of their children.

I don’t know them and am not a scientologist, so I have no prejudice toward John and Kelly.

It is none of my business if they do not want to go public with their problems.
