Like Kourtney Kardashian Barker who recently drew fast and furious criticism. She posted pictures of her one-year-old son, Rocky Thirteen, taking a family boat trip with no life jacket on. The issue came to a head after worried fans asked the couple about the safety precautions they took to protect their toddler child while on the trip.
The photos documented the family’s vacation in a fantastic chronicle. One in particular, where Rocky was laying down on the back of the boat, created such an uproar among users. One reader commented that Rocky needed a life preserver. This illustrates a new and growing concern for the safety of children aboard moving vessels.
Kourtney Kardashian Barker had her little one Rocky in November 2023 with her husband, rock star, and entrepreneur, Travis Barker. She took to her Instagram story to promptly address the backlash. Touching on the issues raised by her followers, she even gave an update on the safety equipment purchased for her son.
“Update: bought a life vest that fits!” – Kourtney Kardashian Barker
In her story, Kardashian Barker expressed gratitude for the feedback she received, stating, “Good looking out. Honestly didn’t think about some of the dangers.” This answer shows her intent to learn from the experience and make the changes needed to respond to the criticism called out by her followers.
The U.S. Coast Guard recommends that children under 13 wear properly fitted, Coast Guard-approved life jackets while on moving vessels. This rule goes to show just how important safety provisions are. Young children are especially susceptible in these environments, so we need to put them first.
While Kardashian Barker is first and foremost a dedicated mother, her youngest is daughter Rocky Thirteen. She has an older son, Landon, and daughter, Alabama, from her previous marriage to current husband Travis Barker, and a stepdaughter, Atiana, from Travis’ first marriage to Shanna Moakler. Now, the family shares elements of that on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. This event has really opened up a firestorm of debate over parental accountability and kids’ safety.
