Celebrity Justice
Judge to Brit -- You're Too Chaotic, Custody Denied

The decision is in -- Britney Spears has not regained custody of her kids.

Issuing his order today, Commissioner Scott Gordon gave Spears three visits per week, two from 12:00 Noon to 7:00 PM and one overnight visit. The visits will be monitored.

Spears and K-Fed are ordered to figure out holiday schedules with the kids.

Britney must submit evidence that she childproofed her pool area by Friday.

In the order, the Commish wrote that when Britney has the kids, "the environment at the house ranged from chaotic to almost somber with little communication at all." The Commish also recounts what the parenting coach complained of -- that "during all three of my visits, Ms. Spears rarely engaged with the children in either conversation or play."

According to the report, the coach wrote, "It seems that [Britney's] choices are dependent more upon what she wants to do at any given time rather than what would be more enjoyable for the children."

The coach also said Spears seemed to have a "lack of general attention at times" but there was nothing she "would characterize as abusive in a traditional sense."

And then the most damning comment from the parenting coach: "The problem is that unless Ms. Spears realizes the consequences of her behavior and the impact that it has [on] her children, nothing is going to be successful."

78. For those complaining that Kevin isn't tested, the Judge had said that Britney is a habitual drug and alcohol user during previous hearings. There must be obvious evidence for him to make these statements. Apparently there wasn't any against Kevin. He may not be perfect but he can't be all bad if an impartial Judge feels that Kevin should have the kids most of the time.

79. Is that the same Commisioner Gordon who worked with Batman?

I feel very sorry for those kids who had the bad misfortune of being born to two nitwits who couldn't punch their way out of a wet paper bag.

The additional news that Britney's mother is writing a book about children is also beyond nauseating.

80. Do you think for one minute that Britney had any of the talent to pull off doing this CD? NO. Other people put it together....Fake singers and all and even a body double! Who are they trying to fool. We all know she looks a MESS and is CHUBBY and has 2 chins.....Air brushing is playing with our brains people.

81. She is pathetic! The "media" needs to stop giving her so much attention because this is what she lives for, not her children. She doesn't deserve to see her children at all. It is obvious she cares nothing about her children. What a shame she has people who still look up to her. Her TRUE fans need to step up to the plate and admit she needs help and quit trying to defend her. What a DISGRACE she is to the female sex.

84. #59- Is that all any of you can come up with is Kfed is a gold digger?! Get serious!
But you know what, whether he was a gold digger or not....he didn't have to dig far...heck, he didn't have to dig at all. Britney is the only person that does not have to account for her time or whereabouts...she make sure everyone knows where she's at, with whom and never fails to disappoint us on what crazy thing she would do next!
As for the kids...any parent can accuse each other of wrong doing, but accusations are not enough to get the courts to mandate all the things they have instructed Britney to comply with in order to regain custody. Besides, Britney is rich and pays good money to her lawyers that if their was any dirt to dig up on Kevin they would've. The only one sinking Britney is Britney! Like a rebellious misguided child; "If you think I'm bad, then I'm bad!" Maybe this will finally wake her up! At least I hope so.

85. I think that the judge made the correct decision. Britney isn't safe with Britney so how can her children possibly be safe with her without supervision. The job of the system is to protect the children. I am happy to see that the judge is taking that responsibility seriously.

The little boys are beautiful and look angelic. It would be horrible if something happened to one or both of them while their mother was non-responsive to their needs and their safety.

Maybe Britney's mental health will eventually improve to the point where she doesn't think that she is the only person on earth. Until that time the boys should stay where they are.

86. She always gets screwed, no judge in this land will give her a break because they are afraid it will look like favoritism to a celeb. Nobody knows on here what she does or doesn't do. You just want to complain about other people, because you have lonely, pathetic lives. Yeah, Brit has made some mistakes, we all do. She is not the monster you or the media make her out to be. Nobody changes that drastically in a year. She is who she has always been, and you loved her then. You people are like sheep, just following the masses. Think for yourselves, for once. Brit is not abad person. She is the product of this world. Not her fault!

87. Hang in there Britney, things will get better in time.

Don't listen to all these awful comments, nobody has any idea what you have been through or going through, unless they have walked in your shoes.

Keep Smiling....Good Luck

88. Good, state of California! Now go after the thousands and thousands of other parents here who neglect/abuse their kids. What's taking you so long?

90. To TMZ,

Please re-read the final order. She has only 2 monitored visits per week. One from 12 noon to 7:00pm & one overnight. The random drug testing continues twice a week for the next 2 months. If hasn't had any positive test, (and a no show is considered positive), then it changes to once a week. She doesn't get any visitation at all, if she doesn't childproof the pools at her 2 houses by Nov. 2nd. I think she will screw up and never have any visitation at all.
