Britney Targeted in Child Abuse Investigation

Britney SpearsTMZ has learned Britney Spears is being investigated for possible child abuse.

An unscheduled hearing was held today at L.A. County Superior Court. Present -- Britney's lawyer, Dennis Wasser, K-Fed's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, and a lawyer from the Los Angeles County Counsel who is assigned to the dependency court.

We do not know the specifics of the allegations but we're told the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services is conducting an active investigation.

A hearing in the custody case has been scheduled for Sept. 4, which will be a follow up to today's appearance.

A rep for Britney did not immediately return our request for comment.

Poor kids.

18. What a sad situation. Anyone can tell those poor boys are unhappy. But abused? Who really knows. I am sure Brit barely sees them -- leaving their care to a nanny. And would KF be any better? Is he just laying low until he gets the $$$ and boys? Then will he start the hard party ways again? Frankly, those boys would be better off with someone other than their sperm donor and incubator.

I agree w 1/2 of your statement, KFed has 2 kids w/a blk chick & is not trying to get 'em, but is trying to get Brits boys. But you have to admit that Brit is "acting" unstable - if anyone regular person behaved like her, their kids would be in CPS custody so darn fast. Whatever KFed's reasons, those are his boys & he needs to take responsibility for their WELL-BEING!! If that mean getting some of Brits $$$$ - THEN SO BE IT!!!

20. Britney is in dire need of some type of intervention .She most certainley has some type of pshycological problem ,and until they address that--- those kids are not safe with her .

21. The humane society needs to jump in and take the dogs as well--she's not fit for any living thing! Possibly a plant. . .maybe?

22. Well, like it has been said many times. You need a degree for this and a license for that but anybody can have kids. Anbody can be famous if they want it bad enough too. I think it's gross. Britney is human. IF she wanted to show she actually cared about her kids before herself she'd clean up her act but the the world wouldn't care anymore. She doesn't need our approval, just our attention. Skank.

23. OOPS I DID IT AGAIN.............AND WHO'S SURPRISED IN THIS LATEST FROM THE POP TART SLUT ..........IT'S ABOUT TIME SOMEONE IS LOOKING OUT FOR THOSE KIDS!!!

24. Britney has done a 180 since she and Kevin split! She was not behaving this way. She's acting like a spoiled child and if she did not want those kids, she should have used birth control or better yet....kept her legs CLOSED!!!!!!!! She is very immature and having two kids does not make someone grow up and act responsibly.

25. It hought she was just getting a bad deal with her x trying to get more cash,but then I saw the photo that showed brits baby in the pool with
britt and her nanny out of the pool with thier backs turned.
Im sure it was taken by k-fed private eye but still.
So danerous.
She is out clubbing everynight even during times when she knows her kids are
about to get taken away.

26. OMG!!! jen, #9, don't EVEN pull the race card! shar is CLEARLY a better mother that brit! you don't hear about her calling her cigs lollipos or trying to bleach the baby's teeth with Crest white strips! or feeding them sodas from their bottles or GIVING THEM COFFEE! it's not about money, and it's most definately not about RACE! it's about the well being of 2 small children and brit is OBVIOUSLY not fit to care for them!

27. She would benefit greatly from some parenting classes. Maybe the court will order both of them to take parenting classes. And then some serious therapy!!!!!!!!!!!!

28. it's about time y'all!!

Posted at 2:06PM on Aug 27th 2007 by jennzz

29. She's not fit to be a mother. She can't even take care of herself.
PS. Comment by Jen. OMG!! She needs to go back to school.

30. LISTEN PEOPLE!!!! Calling DCFS (Department of Children and Family Services) is the first step in determining if the mother is UNFIT to retain custody of her children. This is a tactic used by lawyers and ex-spouses to change the primary custody arrangement set by the court and take their children away from the mother. LAWYER UP BRIT, LAWYER UP!

Better yet...keep your friggin' hoochie ASS out of the bars! DUH!!!
