The Travoltas Abuse Autistic Son

Allegedly!

Tim Kenny, who works in John Travolta’s neighborhood, has told Hollywood Interrupted that he thinks, as a father of an autistic boy himself, that John Travolta and Kelly Preston are abusing their autistic son.

Not really physical abuse, but they are apparently denying the fact that their son, Jett, is autistic because of John’s Scientology beliefs.

"I don’t think it’s a stretch to call their treatment of Jett child abuse," Ocala, Florida restaurant manager Tim Kenny tells Hollywood, Interrupted. Kenny claims he met Travolta at his restaurant in February, and, after "comping" the movie star and his daughter a meal per restaurant policy for celebrities, he asked him, "as one autistic child’s father to another," if he "was doing anything special in terms of therapy" for Jett. Aghast, Travolta responded, "Well, we involve him in the arts." Then, he offered to send Kenny a book, and high-tailed it out of the restaurant.

"If I ever received a Scientology book from him [Travolta], I’d find him, and throw it back at him," says Kenny. "Scientology is keeping him from acknowledging his son’s autism. They see it as a weakness. That’s what the space aliens are telling him I guess."

The Kennys also claim that Kelly and John "let Jett sit in front of video games all day eating junk food, while they eat the best organic food money can buy. They exclude Jett from all social events because they are embarrassed."

"Once," reports Kenny, "when Kelly took him to the movies, Jett started to have a meltdown and Kelly pointed at the nanny and ordered, ‘Take care of it.’"

"Jett does not speak at all," confirms Kenny. "He has not even been taught how to communicate. We struggle every week to pay for our daughter’s therapy. How dare he [Travolta] ruin his own son’s chances of recovering! We want to get the word out on this."

It’s not only Kenny who thinks Jett is autistic and is being mistreated by his parents. Cure Autism Now and The Autism Perspective have also released statements urging the Travoltas to accept their son as autistic and not suffering from Kawasaki syndrome, as they reportedly believe.
