The Mysterious Death Of Jett Travolta: Is This How You Greet Your Nanny?

Punching inPunching in I don't know about you, but I don't kiss the hired help on the lips. Ever. Yet the man John Travolta is shown kissing on the mouth in this 2006 picture is the nanny who discovered his son, Jett's body Friday after he had a seizure and fatally hit his head. This alleged nanny is actually a professional photographer, who has no known experience caring for special needs children and just happens to be a Scientologist. Did John's beard slip a little in the midst of tragedy?

There have long been rumors about Jett being autistic. His parents, unwilling to admit he might have a neurological defect and thus be deemed "degraded" by their exalted church, have long claimed he is a victim of Kawasaki's disease and exposure to carpet-cleaning chemicals. As Scientologists, they would be against medicating their son for any kind of mental illness and were probably treating him with vitamins, barley milk and regular brainwashing. In fact, their "church" doesn't even recognize autism. But many feel they were doing their son an injustice by not treating his illness properly. They've even been called out by their Florida neighbors for not caring for their son properly and keeping him hidden out of shame.

Authorities are continuing their investigation into the circumstances around Jett's death. My heart goes out to the Travolta family for their loss. No parent should ever suffer the loss of a child, especially during the holiday season.
