17. She's clearly very ill... its not that stripping kids away from their mother is a good thing for them, but in this case, it needs to be done until she is more mentally fit to care for them properly. Why was Jayden taken to the hospital?

18. I agree, she's not well... and her erratic behaviors are cries for help, met with further degradation. She's very much a threat to herself and others.

20. This girl is in another world of her own without regard for her sons welfare or the benefits of the many rehabs she goes to half heartedly. I am tired at this point to hear how we should pray for her...she doesnt seriously want to initiate and make a move to change her antics in order to seriously get some percentage of visitation , let alone custody of her sons. You have to want to change, to realise you downhill demise. She is smiling in the ambulance, what does that tell you, its all a joke? Why do we waste time on her. The one person who was there for you, your own mother, you go after her like a psycho...Lynn may have benefited from her success but she didnt get there overnight w/o a lot of parental support, schlepping , etc Now she has no respect for anybody, including herself. You are your own person and if you mess it up, you did it to yourself unless you pick yourself up to change and see the light. How many chances does she get before she hurts herself or her boys? or innocent people with her crazy driving...what then? WAKE UP GIRL, somebody please smack her.

21. I think I would loose my mind too if my child was taken from me and I have limited visitation that kept being stripped away at the drop of a hat. Her strange behavior may be in part the result of being broken due to the very painful combination of a divorce and not having her babies with her. I'm an excellent mother - but frankly when we rushed our son to the hospital you couldn't have forced me to put him crying, screaming, and sick into his carseat for the mile drive. I sat in the back seat crying with him, rocking him and trying to get him to nurse! I've tripped while holding him. I walk around my house naked. As a mother - while I don't condone much of her behavior, I can't imagine living under a microscope the way that she does and having to deal with the challenges that would bring anyone to their knees. I'm not a "Brit" fan - but when I hear that she's in her bathroom trying to keep her child with her my heart just breaks.

22. This attorney, whom Brittany is paying for her ex husband, should be put in prison for continuing in leaking the information about Brittany and should be suspended by the judge for his unprofessional conduct. K-Fed is no angel, either. I know that he must have caused a lot of problem in the beginning and has already crushed Brittany's self-esteem into doom. It is time for us, ladies, to show our support for Brittany. Brittany, please get away from this crazy situation and go to a place where you can be alone from all of this madness for a while and begin to think about what you need to do. You need to begin searching for a good attorney to outwit this K-Fed's attorney and K-Fed, argue before the judge about what has happened during in your marriage years and why K-Fed is unable to support your children without your support and start to build your self-esteem into better one. Is it time for you to request for a change in judge? I think so because this judge seems in favor of K-Fed's attorney's misconduct behavior.

23. Harvey,
You were questioning why Britney's son was taken by ambulance to the hospital and kept under observation until 4am. My understanding is that the police and paramedics were obligated to take Britney's son to the hospital for observation to be sure that, while locked in the bathroom, Britney did not give the child any drugs or other substances that could injure him. The fear was that she may have tried to commit suicide while locked in the bathroom and tried to kill her son as well.

24. I'm tired of hearing about poor Britney. Her whole family is messed up. Look at her sister. Maybe their mother should be locked up with Britney. Their are poor important things in the world today then Britney. Every minute a person is having a break down or another hard situation their going through. Britney did it to Britney. Don't forget she must love the attention, she'll write a book make a world tour apperance, then go on Oprah. The children should get as far as way as possible from this girl. I don't feel sorry for her. Life sucks deal with it, we all have problems your not the only one.

25. It is possible to raise children in Los Angeles. You must parent, but that didn't happen here. She's had way to many "YES" people around her since she was 16. She had a mother who saw the money as being more importent than her job of being a parent. This girl is lost and never had a role model for mothering. Don't blame the city or even the celebrity, blame the family dynamics from a young age, and Britney's own actions from then on.

26. I will pray for her children ONLY! I pray that they are taken away from her permanently! How can you people feel bad for this woman? I don't care if she is mentally ill or on drugs, this behavior is NOT acceptable! If she is mentally ill does that mean she has the right to harm her children both physically and mentally because she can't help herself? We are ALL are responsible for our own decisions and actions! She knows the difference between right and wrong and there is absolutely NO excuse for her actions! The ONLY people that matter in this case is those two children and their safety and well being. I can't believe someone said that every child needs their mother, perfect or not . You are seriously delusional! A child needs to be with someone who loves them and protects them (whether that person is their mother or not) and she does not love them or protect them! What's it going to take to wake everyone up? Does she need to kill these kids to make everyone drop the Pollyanna attitude? She has done everything in her power to make sure that she is not "stuck" with these kids. I will be praying that she doesn't kill those children!

27. Maybe now she will get the help she needs to get better and stop all of this crap.

28. Can't everyone just leave this couple alone so the children can be happy? They are the ones being affected the most while Brittany still needs to seek help and all the paps, headlines and drama doesn't help at ALL. I'm a single father that has FULL custody of my children that when through something like this and would like to say there were no intentions of emotional drain or seeking revenge, just fighting for what's right for the children. They are our future.

29. Britney needs to be locked up....in an asylum. She has total disregard for everyone around her. She has clearly demonsrated her contempt for her children's welfare, her legal responsiblities in her custody hearings. She is not god or any kind of higher being. She needs to be held accountable once and for all and taught that she is not above everyone else. Clearly she needs to be brought back down to earth. People may talk crap about K-Fed but you don't see him pulling any crap remotely close to what Brit is doing. The children need a stable loving home and K-Fed is clearly the only person providing that for them. If everyone did not worship her the way you do then she would not be in this position. Think about that for a moment......
