Kourtney Kardashian faced criticism for endangering her child’s safety by not using a life vest while boating. The reality star, 46, received backlash on social media after sharing a post of herself holding her son on a speeding boat. Many followers expressed concern over the risky behavior, noting that in certain U.S. states, it is illegal for children to be on boats without a life jacket.
The controversy arose when Kourtney posted photos and videos of her activities on Instagram, captioning them “Food for the soul.” The images showed her on a speedboat with her child, prompting safety concerns among her followers.
Critics called out Kourtney for not prioritizing her child’s safety, with one remarking, “Protects her son’s face from the internet but doesn’t protect him from possibly drowning…priorities.” Another sarcastically quipped, “No life jacket??? And the Mother of the year award goes to……”
Responding to the backlash, Kourtney acknowledged the oversight and took action by purchasing a life vest. She thanked her followers for raising awareness about the dangers of boating without proper safety measures.
Kourtney, who has four children with two different partners, shares sons Mason, Reign, and daughter Penelope with ex-partner Scott Disick and has a one-year-old son named Rocky Thirteen Barker with current husband Travis Barker.
