Britney Loses Custody of Her Kids

Britney Spears has lost custody of her kids.

"Extra" has obtained papers which show a judge in Los Angeles County Superior Court has ruled that she must turn over Sean Preston and Jayden James to Kevin Federline on Wednesday, where they'll remain until further notice.

It's still not clear what the exact cause is of the sudden decision, as the judge did not give any written reasons. Britney and Kevin were sharing 50-50 custody until today's closed-door hearing.

The decision comes just weeks after a judge called Britney a "habitual drug and alcohol user" and ordered that she undergo twice-weekly testing. Her former bodyguard has also come forward to say Britney was an unfit mother.

Britney remember that when all fails, just trust in the Lord. We don’t know what’s really going on in your life. I just know that you need to surround yourself with positive persons. Maybe it’s all the mayhem, maybe it’s something else, whatever it is, just remember that those children are the most important persons in your life and you need to trust and have faith that all will be well. If you need time away from everything else, just let them know how much you love and adore them.. Being a mom is tough, but it’s what we do best…….

First of all Britney needs to take herself away from the spotlight. Then she needs all the support she can get from the people that cares about her well being. People out there must understand that she just might be reacting to the negative comments in the newscast and that is not going to help her recover. Let us all embrace her in this time of need especially for her childrens welfare. Britney we all have the power to reclaim our true self so just stop and think of the positive things that you like about yourself and work from there forward. You can do with the help of God.

If Britney were anyone else these children would have been placed in protective custody long ago. These boys will grow up with their peers able to shove a picture of their mothers private parts in their faces. Britney partying when she should be home with her children, and the continued playing to the media while there was a chance she could loose her children indicate the public is more concerned for her boys than she is. Go to rehab Britney! Puts some cloths on, and learn how to be a mother. You can do this if you learn to think of your children BEFORE yourself!

First of all it inrages me everyone is talking about Britney and her “kids” arent kids baby goats I have children..she has children or sons not goats… we are not here to judge someones personal choices and priorities we should just be thankful that the judge was able to make a decision for those innocent boys that will protect them.I don’t believe anyone enjoys Brits failure I just hope and pray that this is a wake up call to such a beautiful talented lady/mother of 2 that she will get the help she needs because it is there for her and now maybe she will WANT it because thats the only way shes going to GET it..

based on all the facts presented by the media, Brittany needs SERIOUS MENTAL,and Physical HELP… IF she loved those children, SHE would have checked herself into a Rehab and refused to leave until she had her act together… She obviously only cares about her SELFISH SELF and not those precious little boys.. We are proud of her EX— for caring enough to protect those children from HER. What A shame— I WAS a Brit fan from as far back as DISNEY!! I have always defended her. I am so ashamed and disappointed!

I believe that what she is doing is abuse if a child is in the picture. I have a child and going from wild chick to mom can be a trying thing to do. There is no excuse for the actions that she partakes in without thinking about her children. she should only get her children back when she can straighten up. she needs help but really she needs to grow up. she shouldn’t be out with her friends more than her family. she should set an example and not be set as one. its not easy being a mother but its the greatest thing that can ever happen. she would get more joy out of being a mother than a partier. she should talk to some real people about her problems (real people meaning those with the same problem and/ or situations as her). some group therapy outside of hollywood. but she should ask herself if she wants to be a mother. i mean really really. the next question would be if she is doing the best she can as a mother for her children. it would be a start to moving forward.

Instead of Britney bashing, let’s figure out how to help her. If we are going to bash Hollywood actors and singers about drug and alcohol abuse/driving, let’s start with Kevin Federline, Paris Hilton, Rock Hudson, Metallica, Lindsay Lohan, Snoop Dog, KISS, Meatloaf, Angelina Jolie, Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Brad Pitt, David Beckham, David Hasselhoff and the list goes all throughout Hollywood. Maybe all the young Hollywood stars should have to sign a contract with the movie/music industries (ALL OF THEM) stating that if they drink alochol and/or use illegal drugs, that they have to be sterlized immediately (WITHIN 30 DAYS) so that we know they can’t have kids. Hell while we are at it, let’s make sure we are drug testing the judges and prosecutors also. I mean, common on. When does privacy for people really begin? I have the UTMOST respect for Britney and think she was awesome when she started taping the media. Since she has to give her kids to Kevin now, maybe she should have the media follow him and spy on him so that THE WHOLE WORLD can know what kind of a father he really is. I think he sees $$ in his eyes and since she won’t willingly give it to him, he will get the kids and take it that way. If you are going to give the kids to Kevin, he better have to do the same things Britney did, such as drug testing, parenting shadows, etc… Otherwise it is sexual discrimination and that’s against FEDERAL law, not just state. AND KEVIN IF YOU ARE SUCH A GREAT DAD, THEN THE ONLY TIME YOU NEED A BABYSITTER IS WHEN YOU GO TO WORK!!! DO YOU EVEN HAVE A JOB!?!?!?!?! Britney, contact me if you need an outsider to talk to. I am here for you.

It’s sad, but needed. Brit needs help!! Feel bad for kids. Also hope they never see mommie’s “comeback act” how awful! Why not name the song, “I’m bringing trampy back..” would have got media going too! She obviously wants more, more, more… WHAT ABOUT THE KIDS BRIT??? Good luck to her.

The only thing I see is protection and bashing of Britney. Do you remember when those boys were conceived and born? Britney was the one that took care of herself and her babies. Britney was the one that was at home up at night feeding, changing, bathing, burping, attending doctor’s appointments. Where was Kevin? Oh that’s right, he was out partying it up and spending Britney’s money. She finally saw through it and put a stop to it. Now that she won’t give him money willingly, he is taking the two things in the world he knows will get him the money. Do you really think that he is going to spend the money on those babies? I am NOT saying doing drugs is okay, but if that’s the reason that children should be taken from their parents, then half of this world would be childless, INCLUDING KEVIN!!!!! So before bashing Britney all the time, let’s take a long hard look at Kevin’s past. Hell, ask Char about how he is and without her knowing a camera is there. Ask her family and friends. Let’s worry about the children, YES!!! But not just with Britney. And the grandparents are no better than Kevin. They are all $$$ hungry.

I’m so sick of the tabloids exploiting her. Why doesn’t a high profiled entertainment show such as Extra and E, give the girl some credit. The media has helped assist with her dismise. We all understand that she is struggling emotionally and what do we do… we continue to critisize her. What happened to second chances and the good people? The media sucks and has provoked her behavior. I don’t know what I’d do if I were her. I’d probably be is some psych ward. Release the Pressure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you can’t have all that fame and fortune and not pay the price for it. whether you like it or not being in the public eye has consequences (good and bad). Her bizaare behavior started not with K-Fed but remember how she married her friend on a whim. How come she still goes top places where she knows she’ll be photographed? If she does not want the negative press then how come she does not behave.

This is the long and short of it.
When you have kids play time is over. You dont get a maid or nanny to do your work as a parent. Get up with them, feed them, teach them, play with them, they are first period!
Brittany knows that the media follows her and yet she STILL acted irresponsible, KFed looked like “Father of the Year” compared to her, he played his cards right, because he wanted the money that he will get from those boys. They are both rotten parents, they both need to take parenting class, they both need to sober up and they need to look at those children as PRECIOUS gifts, and not dollar signs.
If Brittney is smart, she will clean up, and take away ALL of Kevins means means of money and make him really work for what he needs!
She will also quit acting dumb and get herself together, stay out of the media and maybe finally make peace with herself. Pray for those children, they need more help than anyone here, including mommy!

Dana Devon, I am totally disgusted by you with your interview on Larry King Live tonight. How can you possibly sit there and say the things you are saying about Britney Spears, that she is self-sabotage? You as part of the media have a big role to play in the stories you guys report as breaking news or juicy gossip. Don’t you guys realize broadcasted gossips and constantly toasting someone who already has issues can push unstable people over the edge? Yes you all should take some responsibility as well, after all, you all blast her on your programme almost every night to make your gossips juicy, so don’t sit there on larry king and act like you care. I really don’t think you care, all you guys care about is ratings. After all it is hard to sell the decent stuff so you guys play really dirty. The name of the profession is called, who can find and broadcast the juciest, nasties stories on the latest hollywood victims. Yes they do not always admit it, but it sure gets to them. For the record I am not pro Britney, nor anti Britney, I just speak as a sensible human being. In life we all have a responsibility to look out for each other and not desroy them and stomp all over them when they are going through a rough patch. Food for thought.

this is to boobear no kids do not come with instructions they come with alot of responsibility that means your party days are for the most part over. i am a mother of 2 and i never go out and guess what im 25 years old. i put my kids first unlike britney who puts her partying first.every day we see a new picture of her out in a club or doing something stupid. did she deserve to lose them? yes she did but not permenately she needs help and she is just in denial. kavin doesnt deserve them either all he is is a gold digger. they belong with another family member. those poor kids if thing dont thange they are going to end up the same way or need alot of counseling

This is a sad situation all the way around. Nobody here is innocent and it is the kids who really suffer. The court must have its reasons for taking the kids away from Britney. They wouldn’t do this arbitrarily.

I hope Britney is able to get this turned around. Everybody has times in their lives they wish they could do over and she will be no different than the rest of us.

My heart goes out to everybody involved here.
