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."

91. Wow......... Hey, congrats on the album release Brit. TO bad everyone expects it to fail. And by the way you are an unfit Mother.
I fear for that little girl. All of this is going to drive her over the edge. When does she
finally hit bottom?
I pray that it is before it is to late. Someone take her and slap some sense into her.

92. She got everything she deserved. I hope she reads these comments and hates us all. The sick fact is that she is only worried about where her next s.cre.w will come from and when her next paycheck comes in so she can buy more drugs, coffee and clothes. The people around her are losers just like her. No thank you. I'll keep my modest house and my comfortable and anonymous life. I'll also stay an excellent parent to my children. Anyone who doesn't childproof a pool around their babies deserves everything they get. Freak.

96. NOT SURPRISED TMZ MISSED THE PART OF THE STATEMENT WHERE THE PARENTING COACH SAID THAT BRITNEY LOVED HER CHILDREN, AND THAT HER CHILDREN WERE BONDED TO HER

I AM NOT SURPISED THAT BRITNEY FINDS IT A LITTLE HARD TO BE A GET DOWN ON THE FLOOR AND PLAY KIND OF MOTHER, HER MOTHER WAS NEVER LIKE THAT WITH HER. INSTEAD HER CHILDHOOD WAS ALL ABOUT GYMNASTIC PRACTISE, DANCE PRACTICE. ABOUT ROUTINE, AND DOING THINGS RIGHT ALL THE TIME.

98. This all proves Brittany had no idea what she was getting into when she got married and had children. She probably just did it because she wanted to know what it was like. Now that she knows what it's like, she hates it. And much rather be living the life of a pop princess.

99. To Suzy #62. I guess by your logic of thinking women who don't work and have custody of the kids, living in the house the husband are paying for are "TECHNICALLY" being raised by the FATHERS then too? Why don't you stick up for those men? It baffles my mind that these Brit-tards still have the nerver to think she is a fit parent when there are COPIOUS amounts of evidence and incidents that would say other wise. Maybe, just maybe could it be possible that he is the better parent of the two?? I feel so sorry for her children.

100. Is there not a law requiring a fenced pool with small children in the home??? And is there not a permit of some kind in order to build the pool? and if so, why isn't there an inspector to make sure the owner has complied with the pool fence? It appears this young woman is playing Russian Roulette with her children..She seems to have no understanding of what a mother's responsibility to her children..

a. children are not allowed on drivers lap when driving
b. small childrens heads need to have support when holding them
c. and now no fence around her swimming pool
d. children should not be allowed to ride in convertiable cars without the top being up

What next before she has a tragic accident with one or both of them and herself..

AND, she needs help mentally as well s the do's and don'ts of Mothers.
I do wish her well and hope she gets the help she needs to whatever addiction she has..she is an accident waiting to happen

103. It's too bad the judge didn't order the parenting coach to go to K-Fed's house to observe how he and and the mannies (euphemistically referred to as "bodyguards") interact with the boys. While the decision is undoubtedly good for K-Fed, his attorney, his friends, his children with Shar and his other family members from a monetary standpoint, it seems somewhat reckless for the judge to make a ruling when he has no idea whatsoever what the atmosphere is like for the boys over there. Bad as the environment might be at Brit's, things could be easily be worse at K-Fed's -- and no one, including the judge, has any idea!

104. Hmm.......comes as no surprise to me. The only time she talks to those poor boys is when she needs them to find her cigs and wigs.

105. California law requires that pools and spas built since 1998 at single-family homes have at least one safety device, such as a fence, swimming pool alarm, door alarm, self-latching door or pool cover. An amendment signed into law last year requires older pools being renovated to be equipped with at least one safety device.


Is the state preventing all parents who own pools without the above from seeing their children, or just the rich and famous?
