Britney Spears has been released from the psychiatric ward at UCLA Medical Center, the L.A. Times is reporting.
According to the paper, Spears slipped quietly out -- compared to the massive fanfare that went on the night she went in.
A law enforcement source tells TMZ the hospital let her go "because she was no longer required to stay there after 11:30 AM." We have not confirmed this independently, however, if the hospital decides Britney is no longer a danger to herself or others, the hospital loses its basis to hold her against her will.

Like having her dad put as her conservator helped!!!!! Like her dad said in his Declaration, the hospital was keeping her until she is well. She probably didn't enjoy having to see her parents all day and night at UCLA.

YOU CANNOT HELP SOMEONE THAT DOES NOT WANT ANY HELP, IN FACT IN MOST CASES THEY WILL GET MAD AT YOU AND STOP TALKING TO YOU. SHE IS HEADING DOWN A VERY SLIPPERY SLOPE IN MY OPINION, BUT IT'S HER PEROGATIVE!

I hope they put her into some kind of care, either rehab or something. I hope her parents are still able to help.

Now that she is out, that pig Sam is gonna be all over her again. Everyone is gonna be mooching off of her just like before.. She is sooo far from ready to be free.. They should keep her locked up for awhile longer and let her get herself straight.

I hope her parents take her somewhere OUT of the public eye and keep her safe. I also pray she continues to receive help. Keep her away from Sam and Adnanananan. Neither are good for her. She needs HELP - how could she get out, wasn't her stay court ordered? What happened?
