Ambulance Rushes Jett Travolta to the Hospital

331. Different religions cause different harms. I disagree with Scientology's view on drugs, such as anti-seizure meds. But christians, even mainstream ones, have beliefs I disagree with that cause harm, too. How many gay teens kill themselves each year because of their parent's brainwashing based on religious beliefs. Subscribing to some groups belief that has "answers" is a widely shared human trait. It causes a lot of harm, but most people do it because knowing the truth-- or thinking you do-- gives great comfort. I find it all delusional and harmful, but it does not change the pain parents experience when they lose a child. And, in this country, parents have the right to direct the religious upbringing of their children, for better or for worse. So just have some compassion for the family or, if you can't, mind your own business.

332. What a tragedy for the Travolta family : ( Cannot believe some comments posted here, very cruel. I am a Christian and know that Jesus loves all, dosent matter what faith you are.

They have lost their precious child and no one should question what treatments he received for his seizures. As many parents are aware sometimes medications are worse that the actual condition.

My heart and prayers go out to the Travolta family. May Jett RIP.

333. My heart is broken for these parents and little Ella. I have an autistic son, but I cannot understand why people feel that they should have the right to tell these parents how to deal with their own son's challenges. He was obviously loved and cared for and that is the most important thing you can give any child. As for their religion, again, their own business. When it comes to Jett, however, I believe that he is safely in the arms of Jesus as God loves and redeems the innocent little ones. This boy obviously did not have typical cognitive functioning and therefore is likely seen by God as a child...one not accountable for his sin. I believe Jett was welcomed in to Heaven as any other baby or small child who died too sin. My prayers are with them all in this most difficult situation. Maybe they will find the truth through this tragedy.

I am very disappointed at your comments. If you believe in Christ then you should be the first not to judge. You're a fool.

335. First and foremost, my deepest sympathies go out to John and his family. That's the first thing any of us should be thinking regardless of our views or opinons of Scientology. This is a grieving family and lets all walk in their shoes for now, and try to understand how we would feel if it was one of our children. Then there is religion. We all have a right to choose ours, including the Travolta's. I'm a Christian but don't agree with everything in the Bible. Does that make me wrong or bad? I think not! One thing for sure, none of us has a right to judge another, or talk crap about them with or without facts. so pleaase, those of you who feel you need to put them down or judge them, lay off!

Now, to my experience with Scientolgoy. I was 18 living in Los Angeles and was recurited by Scientolgy right off of Hollywood Blvd. Because I was young and confused and looking for "something" to believe in, I took their "test" and allowed them to tell me I needed help. Hell, I didn't need a test to tell me that! lol I went to be interviewed by one person in an office and was offered a cup of tea Then the first question I was asked was: " Do you have any rich relatives"? I asked why? I was told that they would pay the first $25.00 but it would be expensive for me to get the help I needed from them. I told them I didn't know anyone with money. They still took me outside to another building. Some sort of " work shop". Shortly after I was inside I felt very funny. Kinda like I was "tripping" off some drug. I got scared and ran outside. There was a monkey bar looking thing right out side the door, and two people came out after me and told me to "touch here, touch there" on these bars, and said: "Barbara are you ok, come back, come on it's ok, we are here for you." I might have been young and confused but I knew they did something to me ( perhaps in the tea) because I had never felt like this before. And I knew what a cult was, because I had been through it already with " Tony and Susan Alamo Christian Foundation in Saugus CA. I get their number quickly too. Anyway, I just look ed at these two people from Scientology and said: "You people are crazy:, and ran all the way to the bus stop. and went home. This is real, and it did happen, and I've been telling the story for 34 years. However, I'm not going to dog anyone for their beliefs based on my experience. These people just lost a child and NONE of us know anything about them or how they raised their child. From my understanding they we taking care of all his needs, and even if he did have Autism, he didn't fall and hit his head because of it.

Lets all take a moment of silence for this grieving family, regardless of our religion.

336. I often get a laugh from celeb sites like this one, but with the Travolta story, the site has reached a sad low! It's okay to speculate about news stories, but can't people wait for facts first before making definitive statements?, No one even knows if this child was or was not on medication, or if he was, did it work or did he take it? A patient does not need a psychiatrist to get anti-convulsive medication. And, unless he was legally declared incompetent, at 14 he would have the right to refuse medication anyway. Some comments made here about the child were obscene and should have been removed immediately. Only the parents know what decisions they made and why, so let's give them a break until the facts are out. I know people who have been paralyzed for life and worse by "traditional' medications, bet there is not a Sanjay Gupta special on that subject. Peace to all.

337. so lets be so american and bash freedom of religon no matter what. Cant believe we havent gotten to the catholics and their aniti birth control "bs" and how they are crazy and we have all these kids on taxpayer services because those a-holes cant keep their legs together huh? We have freedom of religon sorry folks :) And on that note, this isnt a place to bring that up. A child has died. No matter what, nor how, a child has died, and left a hole in the hearts of his parents. It was obvious that they cared for their kids as having 2 nannies present at all times to add an extra set of eyes for security purposes is something i only wish i had the money to do for my kids. And yes, it is okay for parents to go out and leave their kids with nannies or sitters, If his nanny has been there for most of his life, then no doubt is viewed like a second parent, and the Travoltas entrusted and trusted Jeff with those duties. That must be an incredible relationship and this death has affected his nanny as much as his parents too.
Im sure he feels like he lost his son too. Relationships in the celeb world are sacred, because unless there is long term loyalty there is really no relationship. I feel bad for the celebs in the world because you never know who is being real to you.
Its like a line in the movie first daughter " i have had people smiling at me, laughing at my jokes and saying im right my whole life, i need some real people to be real, get mad, yell at me" that must be so hard. I commend the Travoltas for adding the nannies to their parenting team, even though Jett was 16, there obviously (meaning theyve acknowledged some form of medical issues in their son) felt the need for Jett to have some extra security, but even the most careful parenting in the world cannot stop a death, if God wants his child home. And for those who say anything different about scientology, we all know, that its God who calls his children home, when he wants them. And so sad to say, because no parent should exipierience this (as i have) Jett was only meant to be here for 16 sweet years. As my Sophie was meant to be here 5 sweet days.
Its so many memories, but so little too.
God Bless You Travoltas, and their extended family of staff, and all those who love Jett.
And especially Ella. For yours is the greatest sadness, the sadness, and the lack of abilites at such a young age to express them.
No matter what they believe, i wish peace, light and love surrounding them as theyve only begun this process.
Praying for all involved,
A.

338. Shame on you TMZ for posting this video during this time of intense loss and grief. Leave this family to mourn their child in peace....
The very fact that you have posted this sickens me.

Shameful.

339. My deepest sympathy to the Travolta family for the loss of their son.May their devoted love for their son and his loving memories help comfort them, until he is in their arms again. I believe life is a spiraling light traveling a planned path. Whatever religious belief they follow, may it comfort the family and those who knew Jett personally. May his young death somehow help others. Rest in peace sweetheart.
