1021. I think its funny that everyone thinks her kids should be taken away, simply from what the media has reported to them. She doesnt seem any different to me than most mothers today.

1022. I bet 80% of celebrities with kids would be found neglectful if they were "real" people. I don't doubt she is abusive and if they don't take her kids away it just proves even more that if the parent is that well-known they give special treatment

1023. Yeah being a mom is hard but if you truly love your children you will do some self-sacrificing. And she does have support but she keeps pushing it away b/c she doesn't want to hear that what she's doing may not be the best thing for a mother of two to be doing.

1024. Britney loves her babies. They are just fine and love their Mommy. Leave this family and so many other familys alone.

1025.
she wants to be a teen ager and not a mother - but fears the bad PR

1027. Come on, have you really looked at some of the stuff she has done! We all have. Kevin is just after her money. Why is he fighting so hard, I did not see him fight this hard for his other kids. As a matter of fact both Kevin and Shar have done pretty well financially because of Britney. She has made some mistake and some should be addressed, but if he was after my kids I would go a little wacky too. When she is out where are the kids, are they being taken care of. That is all that matters, and do we really know the answer?

1028. I still believe Federline is making up a bunch of stuff, and perhaps paying people to back him up. Come on people the guys a con-man.
Couseling is a good idea for them both, federlines no stranger to illegal drugs, and alcohol either. 50/50 custody, and both continue couseling. If Federline gets 70o/o custody, don't you realize that means Britney has to pay him more child support! And lets face it kids their ages don't take much to feed. But Kevin has 5,6,7...kids--Motive for his trying to get more custody/MONEY

1029. Britney has become a very, very sad case and a very, very poor excuse for a woman and mother. While I do not like children, I feel bad for her two little ones. They have done nothing wrong but yet she treats them poorly. Contrary to what seems to be popular belief around here, Brit IS committing child abuse. It's called neglect and many, many kids have been taken away from their parents because of it. Her obvious drug and alcohol abuse is called child endagerment (especially when done with the children around) and again, kids are taken away from their parents for it. If she truly loves her children, she will step up and get herself all the help she needs. But for now, her little ones are better off somewhere else, somewhere safe. So I hope CPS does the right thing and hands them over to a family member (even if it's K-Fed) until Brit is actually ready to be a mom.

1030. I think we should stay out of her buisness. Brittneys kids are not ugly rats and she is not psyco. The media targets poeple...especially stars who are going through a rough time. There are tons of poeple...even poeple we could know could do thoses things. The only difference is there not millionaies and the world doesnt know thier life story. I think the best thing to do is pray...and if you don't pray for Brittney do it for the kids.....!!!!!!!!!
