Kourtney Kardashian Barker is getting heat on social media after she posted a family boat trip photo of her 21-month-old son, Rocky Thirteen. In the pic, Rocky was sitting on the boat in Idaho without a life vest on. A lot of fans were quick to point out that Idaho law says kids under 14 gotta wear a life jacket while on the water, as per People.
The comments came fast. People on social media did not hold back, saying it was unsafe and a bad example. Some even tagged water safety accounts, and it soon turned into a mini storm in Kourtney Kardashian's comment section. The reality TV star, however, took the criticism in good stride and shared an update.
