UNDER NO OBLIGATION

John Travolta and Kelly Preston are living every parents worse nightmare except they're having to play it out in the open and that's not cool.

Their son, Jett, suffered a fatal seizure several months ago while vacationing with his family in the Bahamas. They are currently testifying in a case where a member of the ambulance crew is accused of trying to extort $25 million dollars from the Travolta's (he was trying to publicize a document that claims they didn't want their son transported to the local hospital).

While under oath, John Travolta admitted that their son was, in fact, severely autistic (for years, the Travolta's claimed that their son was suffering from Kawasaki's Disease, a blood-borne illness). This admission has autism advocates all up in arms. They claim he should have gone public a long time ago with this information in the hopes of putting a face on a serious health issue.

I couldn't disagree with this argument more. It's their decision as parents as to whether or not they want to talk publicly about any illness or health issues in their family, and they should not feel any obligation to do so. I don't know why people have this insatiable need to know EVERYTHING that goes on in the private lives of "celebrities." It's because of this irrational hunger that we have to deal with losers like the "Jon & Kate + 8" bullshit.

Leave these two alone. They have had to bury a child and they deserve the right to grieve privately.
