It’s important to note that Phoenix’s arrival came months after Paris faced renewed criticism over a series of resurfaced anti-gay and racist comments.
In it, the 1-year-old walks and crawls around the deck of the catamaran, which includes a series of netted segments. Many subsequently drew attention to the fact that Phoenix was playing relatively close to the boat’s edge, with one popular comment reading, “Momma, please have him wear a life jacket always on a boat!! Stuff happens. That’s why they’re called accidents. With love.”

Paris subsequently took to the comments to write, “Hey Mamma’s, thank you for the advice & always caring about my #CutesieCrew 🥺 It’s a big boat & my husband and I are following him around everywhere & watching like hawks. My babies are my world!🥰💗”

In the US, it is federal law for all children under the age of 13 to wear a life jacket on a moving boat — the only exceptions being if the child is below deck or in an enclosed cabin. However, depending on the state, the size of Paris’ boat may have exceeded local requirements for life jackets.

The boat appears to be a Sunreef 80 Echo, which is typically around 80 feet in length. It’s not the first time she has shared a video of her children on the boat without life jackets — she posted a compilation earlier this month where Phoenix can be seen sitting at the deck’s edge.

It’s not the first time Paris’ social media posts about her children have raised safety concerns. Earlier this year, she shared a video of Phoenix in her arms in a pool with his combination life jacket and swim vest on backwards.
She replied, “Oops! Thank you! I never let him out of my arms. thought it was backwards too, I said that to the person who I bought it from & they said it was on right. But thank you so much for letting me know.”
