Shameful

Why did the police or paramedics not go onto the stage and inform Travis of what was happy and tell him to stop performing?

don’t go to concerts at 9 years old you’ll get killed, i’ve always said that 🤷🏻‍♂️

DiscoveryID I prayed so hard for you, little Ezra. Prayed for a miracle. I'm so sorry, Blount family 💖🌹

Prayers of comfort sent to his family and friends.

🙏🏾

Help me understand why a 9 year old boy was at an age restricted concert and the media is all like 🤷🏻‍♀️

To all the people complaining about him being there,this festival was directly marketed as an all ages event, and advertised to kids on fortnite and McDonald's ads. Have some compassion for once.

Bless his heart he just went to a concert! Prayers to him and family

my heart bleeds for this family So young my god .. My 💙 & 🙏 go out to family Stay strong ..

While awful and his family DEFINITELY deserves retribution.... who tf takes a 9 year old to an event like that?

9yo should not be in concert/festival like this. If his father is dumb enough, organiers should not let him in. But this goes mostly on his father and his priorities.

Why the actual fuck is a 9 year old at a Travis Scott concert FFS?

RIP young man🙏🏾😔

😢💔🙏Rest in Peace. So sad

So do something about it then instead of publicizing it every 5 minutes..this is where the problem lies with the media and what’s responsible or not. CNN is responsible for the demise of this population and we all know it

Hi I am an Afghan, I was threatened by the Taliban Whipping my family My house was looted and set on fire I hid in a shelter. I need help. I have to get a lawyer to get asylum in a country If you know of a charity, please introduce me so I can save my family with their help.

Why was a 9-year old at a concert? I wasn’t allowed to go to a concert until I was 16.

This is not the parents’ fault. It’s an all ages event advertised as a theme park. The onus is on the organisers, security, staff, production etc. to make sure it is a safe environment. Y’all find it a lot easier to blame everyone BUT Travis Scott

😪 life is precious; I wish we would treat it more such

And, ofc, was supposed to be a concert where being children? Really? Hanna Montana, Ariana Grande, maybe... Frozen! But, comon, be serious.

Twitter should have dislike buttons cause this is not a likeable conversation anyone should have. Deepest condolences to the family. AstroWorld

It’s insane how many people are saying a kid shouldn’t be able to go to an even with a guardian safely. Had the even holders been responsible and stopped the show when people literally flooded the gates, those kids would’ve been able to enjoy themselves and gone home.

rip young soul😢💙

24/7 fake news Try to make movie CNN studio time up

😢😢😢

Ow 😔😔😔.. Why isn't Travis' head on a spike!!!?

😞😞

Heartbreaking and sad...💔🕊 I still don't get why so many young kids were at this concert?

Who takes a 9 year old to an event like that?

People are dead and you don't know and keep playing.many people are responsible

Sorry, who takes a 9 year old to a concert where there is general Admission and no assigned seating.

Shouldn’t have been there anyways. Family got what they deserved.

💔

What a heartbreaking bit of news, so very sad. Praying for that beautiful boys family and friends as they grieve this tragic loss

This kills me. His dad tried so hard to keep him safe. 😞

😔💕💐💜

lizzie_bebe 😭

God bless him 💔

Riposa in pace

May the Almighty God rest his soul in Erternal Peace. Amen

1 more and it will tie with The Who. Expect Festival seating to go away for outdoor events now

Heart wrenching…sending prayers to his loved ones. No one should ever have to bury their child.

Why was this minor at the concert?

😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😤😤🤬🤬

I dont think that was a concert for a kid

So sad .

So. Fucked. 💔

That concert is obviously only after the money. Somebody needs to be in prison for all of these.

The fact there are so many people defending live nation and travis like 'You knew what you were in for' 'why 9 year old blah blah blah' NOBODY SHOULD EVER DIE AT ANY SHOW DUE TO NEGLIGENCE OR BLATANT IRRESPONSIBILITY BY THE ARTIST AND VENUE

This is absolutely heartbreaking

The irresponsible nature of humans will never change. It is without doubt the one single flaw in our characters that wil someday be our downfall. 🙏and our eventual extinction 😩

so sad 💔😢

Charge the parents. What the hell are they doing taking a kid into an environment like that. Concert, OK, 9yr old in a a mosh pit? Lock them up

I'm sorry.....why is a 9 yr old at an adult concert?

Devastating news

this is so heartbreaking 😔

i know... 🙏❤️
