Filed under: Child Custody, Celebrity parents behaving badly
Just shy of the one year anniversary of her bizarre head-shaving incident, Britney Spears is in the news (and prayers of fans) again, this time for refusing to hand over her children to Kevin Federline's bodyguards sent to collect the boys after their visitation time their mother.
After four hours of "intense negotiation" the Jayden was taken from Britney (older brother Sean Preston somehow was removed earlier) and she was forcibly strapped to a gurney and taken to a hospital. Jayden was also taken to the hospital as he had been left alone with Britney, who appears to have locked the court appointed monitor out of the house.
The 26-year-old was taken to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where she will undergo a mental health assessment.
A police spokesperson told the press today, "We believe Britney Spears is under the influence and needs to be evaluated. At this stage we do not know what she may or may not have taken - that's why she needs to be evaluated. But obviously if the test does prove positive, then we would be looking to move her to a police station and charge her."
If this is how the legal system handles custody issues involving a clearly messed up parent, what hope is there for the kids of unstable parents who are not followed by photographers?
