Reality star Kourtney Kardashian has faced backlash after posting an Instagram photo of her 21-month-old son, Rocky Thirteen, on a boat without a life jacket. The post sparked criticism online, with many users expressing concern for the child’s safety.
The controversy began when a series of photos posted by Kardashian showed her young son playing on a boat in Idaho, where state law requires children under 14 to wear a life vest while on a boat. Many users took issue with the photo, with some commenting that it was irresponsible and others urging Kardashian to ensure that Rocky wears a life jacket at all times.
In response to the backlash, Kardashian posted an update on her Instagram Story the next day, apologizing for not considering the dangers of boating without a life vest. She explained that she had since purchased an infant-sized life jacket and would make sure it is worn by Rocky in the future.
Kardashian welcomed Rocky in November 2023 with her husband Travis Barker, and the family has been on vacation in Idaho. The post included photos of Kardashian, Rocky, and other snapshots from their trip, including a mirror selfie and scenic views of the lake.
