I dont know if this is true I just read it on the news. If it is then this is pathetic and sad and discusting. Let the people live their lifes and cope with the pain. How can people be so stupid its beyond me. Aparently there are photos of Johns son dying (or last photos of him) and they are trying to get money of them in exchance for the photos. I will give them an idea how about nice jail cell and they can stuck the photos in there. http://news.ninemsn.com.au/entertainment/731629/travolta-threatened-over-photo-of-dying-son

It's just sickening that ppl are like this. Here's a family grieving over their son and along comes too blood sucking leaches looking for money. I also can't understand why the pics were taken in the first place...where is Jett's right to privacy? Will it now be a choice between getting treatment or your right to privacy? This whole thing seems like extortion to me and I think the two men involved should be charged with just that. My deepest sympathies go out to the Travolta family.

I still cant belive that they lost their son. I mean they are such wonderful people and on top of that they get their privacy violated in such way its just sad sad world. to the general public it means nothing to see such photos I bet if I saw them I will forget all about them in a day or 2 but the parents will never forget that.

It really is horrible that ppl become so ruthless in getting what they want that they don't stop to think how terrible it is for the family. I'm sure the Travolta family wants to remember Jett as a happy, loving child and not have to see pics of his last dying moments spread across the tabloids everywhere. Sometimes ppl can be like vultures when it comes to news. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

People are just sick. Leave the poor family alone. If I were them I would be suing the person threatening them with the photos. That person should lose their job over it at least. Terrible.

That is the sad thing about being in the eye of the media. There is nothing that the media won't do to get a story. They are heartless as far as I am concerned. Even people in the light of the media need to be allowed to grieve for their loved one in private. But with the media there is no such word. It is a shame they don't get a taste of what they do to the people in the lime light. They should be allowed to grieve in private. In fact they need to grieve without the whole world watching. Reporters are heartless, unfeeling people who don't care how they get the story or who they step on to get it.

The sad thing is this wasnt even done by the media it was done by someone involved in the case (someone working in the ambo service) and the pictures taken on his mobile. This was done with 1 thing in mind MONEY
