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.

62. This has nothing to do with SHAR,, geezz you people talking about Shar are so crazy,,
Shar takes care or her own kids,, she is not out half naked and on drugs,, she actually stays home and tends to her kids,,
K-Fed wants his kids from Britney because she is an unfit parent!!! she will not talk to her mother,, she has no clue how to care for kids,, she should be asking her mom for help and including her in their upbringing,, just goes to show you what a stupid idiot Spears is,,
This has been in the media for a long time,, her lack of parenting skills and yet she is out on the town night after night,, high as a kite!! she's an idiot.. and unfit parent,,, and she should let the father parent the kids,, hire the nanny's ,,etc,,, at least he seems to be the smarter of the two,, and does not parade them up and down the street buying coffee and swimming and boating in an unsafe manner!!
Kfed might not be some lovely handsome conservative fellow,, but he is their father,, and he deserves to parent his own children and be concerned about their safety,, it shows how he is a good parent to go up againts Spears to fight for the right to keep his kids safe!!

65. I'm not so surprised, she's not mother material K- Fed is probably a better mother fo these children... she should just grant full custody toKevin because she is doing a lousy job and is geting in trouble with the law....

67. People that actually think that Federline is as bad as Spears need to have their heads examined, along with Britney. The courts are NOT going to side with Spears, that much is OBVIOUS.

68. Who worries about the children in ghettos and other unsavory neighborhoods? Who cares, about the boy with no dinner, the 3yr old girl raped, the baby whos mother thinks its "cute" to blow crack smoke in its face, the child thrown into a closet for just "being"? ? ? ? ? ?
Dont be in a tizzie over Britz kids.....they will never miss a meal. They will always be able to see a Doctor AND afford the meds prescribed, mice will not crawl on their beds ,they probably will not witness severe beatings and verbal abuse towards a family member.. Disfunctional future adults? Christ ! Join the crowd.
So, why arent we in an uproar over the ones that really need it ?

69. NEWS FLASH!!!
It's common for MOST abusers of children to have feelings of "love" for them, - it doesn't make a DAMN difference.

70. REALLY PEOPLE!!!!! BS is out at all hours doing God only knows what everytime you turn around. Where there is smoke there is fire. If I were out swimming in the ocean in my panties and bra getting my picture taken, or checking into hotels with strange men at all hours of the morning, dragging my kids around at all hours of the night to go pee at a restaurant when they should be at home in bed, Constantly feeding my children junk, Wanting my dentist to have my toddlers teeth whitened because I didnt want to take care of them, My ex-husband would want to take my kids away from me too! And I am sure that is just the tip of the iceburg. You are right we do not know ALL of the facts. I am sure there is more. She is a HORRIABLE PARENT. If she really loved those children she would GET IT TOGETHER!!!! Not every parent in hollywood has to go thru this only the ones who are acting coo-coo.

71. A 10 year old could take better care of Britney's kids. Take them away from her NOW!!!!

72. K-Fed has never been a good father?? Brit needs serious help!! Brit's parents have caused a lot of her problems.

Is there a NORMAL family member anywhere on either side of this family to take these kids and care for them until Britney gets some help??

73. Not a huge fan, but I cannot help feel bad for the girl. What's next . . . neglect claims for parents who drop their kids off at day care for 10-hours a day because they are not with their kids 24/7. Society is lucky that all new moms do not have cameras on them 24/7 . . . no one would have kids.

74. Well she certainly isn't taking care of them while she's out flashing her skanky junk everywhere all hours of the day AND night. Yet she tells anyone who will listen "how much she loves her kids." I think her kids are nothing more than accessories.
