Brit Leaves Kids in Car to Go Shopping

Britney Spears had custody of Sean Preston and Jayden James over the weekend, but the pop tart raised eyebrows when she left the boys in the car to go shopping.

Brit, along with her court-appointed monitor, pulled up to the Crystal Palace chandelier store in L.A. yesterday. But soon she jumped out of her white Mercedes and into the store, leaving her sons to sit and wait with the monitor.

Meanwhile, “Extra” has learned that Brit won’t be charged with any crime after hitting a deputy with her car outside a downtown L.A. courthouse last week.

Following an investigation, an LAPD spokesman said the mishap – in which Brit ran over the deputy’s foot – was just an accident. The case is now closed.

But there are more legal issues Brit has to deal with – a lawsuit from her former manager who is suing her for thousands of dollars of unpaid fees.

Brit opened up to the paparazzi this weekend after getting served, telling cameramen that the man who handed her the papers “looked like Santa Claus.”

As fans hope that Britney’s life gets back on track, she has one major supporter in her corner – Julia Roberts.

Mom of three Julia tells the new issue of Vanity Fair, “I see and hear what's happening to Britney Spears and it's all I can do not to move her into my guesthouse and say, 'Okay, this is how it's going to be!' And just take care of her."

Are you people not reading this correctly. She went into a store for about five minutes. The kids were in the cr with an adult, the court monitor. Anyone with any common sense would know that the court monitor in question will make an appropriate judgement call onwhether or not she should or shoudl not have went in to a store. You people act like you have never rode with your child on your lap, or went shopping with your kids, or went into a store while someone else set in the car with the kids. Britney works for a living. Are you people so stupid that you do not realize that she works. She works all the time. HEr deadbeat husband is the one who does not work. What is wrong with EXTRA readers and BRIT haters. You all are all a bunch of self righteous hypocrites who ought to be ashamed of yourselves. And you are ignoraqnt if you want FEDEX to have total custody. He is such a role model. He had an affair with a porn star and that is why she divorced him. What a puke. There is nothing wrong with shopping with your children. You do not know the circumstances of the shoppping or even if it is TRUE. It is not like everything yo read on the internet is TRUE….GET A LIFE>>>>>>>>>

No, she didn’t leave her kids alone. As you can see again the footage those kids are with someone. Is this what you called SHOPPING? she just left the kids to get something on that store and then leave again WITH THE KIDS! that TITLE DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE!!!!

You show footage of Britney walking to her car during tonight’s show, and you all missed the fact that she was parked in a handicapped spot. That is illegal.

Why can’t Brit do her shopping at another time? Why does she do all this for? Fot attention thats why. The way she acts if I have a free babysitter why can’t I use her. She Loves how all paps want to take her picture she thrives on all the guys taking her picture thats why she is out an about. Someday when she completly looses her kids and when they are grown she can tell them she was more important than they were.

Britney knows how the reporters are and how they act. She knows they will be all over her and her kids. I think it is a shame that she has to go shopping on her time with her children. She has plenty of time to go out in public when she doesn’t have her children. She should be at home with her sons spending quality time with them, not out and about. I think that this is abuse on the kids to be put through all this for a shopping trip. Britney needs to start acting her age and acting like a parent. She needs some serious counseling and parenting classes. She should hang her head in shame!

Seriously leave her alone.. leave her kids alone.. being a mother of 2 myself i would go insane if people acted the way paparazzi are around my kids. The custody battle is a private matter and needs to stay that way, there is a lot of he said she said and its disgusting what people do to people. Leave the poor girl alone and the kids especially. People have problems and putting them on magazine after magazine is not ok.

The store she was shopping @ was The CRYSTAL PLACE. The store is located on Ventura Blvd in Sherman Oaks. The cross street is Kester. One of the most beautiful chandelier stores i have ever seen!

Losing custody of her kids might have been unfair in Britney’s opinion, but look through the past and see the many mistakes she’s made as a parent. The judge had a right to pass judgement, and in the article above is clear evidence of Britney’s bad parenting. She has to get a hold of her life. The way its going, it’s starting to spiral out of her control.

Now, some people might think that Britney having run over a deputy’s foot (it was an ‘accident’) shouldn’t result in a fine. But think of yourself. If you run over a deputy’s foot, you’d been in court faster then your head could spin. And who knows, Britney could’ve been drunk, or on drugs.

Everyone needs to shut up and stay out of Brits, K-fed, Jayden James, and Sean Prestons lives and let them handle their personal business in private. Enough said.

ONCE AGAIN the media is blowing things out of proportion. Love how you put “brit leaves kids in car to go shopping.” to bad she was in the shop for 5minutes and the monitor was in the car with the kids. BIG DEAL!!!
EXTRA EXTRA get a reality check!

There is an adult with the kids so what if she left them with an adult in the car what is wrong with that but I think people just love to be judgmental and they often forget to look at them selves. GROW UP PEOPLE

I would love to know what exactly is wrong with Britney. Now she leaves her kids in the car while she goes SHOPPING??? She absolutely should NEVER get custody of these kids again. They are obviously in danger being with her. Without question, leaving the boys in the car by themselves is the worst thing she has done yet. I hope that Kevin Federline now gets full, permanent custody of Sean P and Jayden J. It is clear that Britney has no clue on how to be a good mother and she does not deserve to have the kids.
