What did Britney do that was so bad that they took her kids?

Question

She is a kid herself what do they expect, I don't think she did anything to harm her kids so why would they take them?

Answer 1

She is not a kid - she is 25! If she was old enough to have them she should be old enough to take care of them.



Not giving you children structure, feeding them junk, doing drugs and being in drunk in front of the kids - not to mention her mess ups when she was a new mom (because she was a new mom)... I can't believe they didn't take them away sooner. She may not have wanted to intentionally hurt her kids but she was certainly indirectly hurting them.

Answer 2

The articles I read sited excessive drinking and illegal drug use. Judges tend to frown on that sort of behavior during custody disputes. You are right, however. She is a kid herself. I feel a certain amount of pity for her, as it seems she never figured out how to deal with the whole fame and spotlight thing. That pity doesn't go very far though. Despite the fact that she is a kid, she is a mother. She has a responsibility to her children. If she is unable to care for herself (drinking, drugs, wild partying with Paris Hilton) then she certainly can't be trusted to care for her two infant children. She may not have done anything to harm her children, yet, but you don't let a child play with a loaded gun because he hasn't shot anyone, yet. The drinking and drugs are a clear and present threat to the well being of those children. The judge was right to remove them from her custody. Until she gets her act together, she is not a fit mother (not just my opinion, the opinion of the court that decided the case and who probably has a lot more information on the subject than we do).

Answer 3

Not sure. Court records are sealed, so we do not know. Perhaps she violated some of the judges directives. Of course you can speculate, however it is best to know facts.



You cannot go by what the disgruntled employees, such as the body guard say, etc., as they most likely have ulterior motives such as revenge, money, etc. Funny they were not that concerned until after they were fired.



I know that Federline has been kind of party animal in the past according to media, but the media is not that reliable source of information. Am not completely sure about his parenting skills, but seriously doubt that he is any better parent that Ms. Spears. I am sure he would like a fat monthly check for child support each month. Ha.



She still has equal legal custody, but not physical. I am sure if she complies and corrects whatever the judge is concerned about that she will regain her share of custody.



Custody fights are very traumatic, and devastating to the family, however, eventually things will smooth out and both parents will most likely have equal access to their children.

Answer 4

Apparently the courts gave her a list of things to do in order to maintain custody like attend parenting counseling, submit to drug and alcohol testing and counseling and to actually get a real State of California drivers license. All of which she has not even done. Or at least this what I read. Also what did Britney do after the ruling went down? She went out to party that night and was photographed with a big smile on her face. Classy!

Answer 5

just because she is acting like a kid is not an excuse to forgive her. she is appearing as a irresponsible person and she has been to rehab and obviously not followed through. if the kfed wants the kids and is more stable and responsible then why not give them to him. the state can hope that Britney will be better, they need to give the kids to the person who is demonstrating responsibility right now.

Answer 6

she was told by a judge i think sometime last week to clear up her act. she was then photographed the same nite clearly off her head. then there was the time she nearly dropped sean preston. and the time she drove with one of her kids on her lap. she is clearly an unstable person to be around. if you had a friend like britney would you want your kids to be around her. dont get me wrong i like britney but she clearly needs proffesional help

Answer 7

They were alluding that she may have not passed her alcohol and/or drug test she was given yesterday. Remember the last time she was in court, the judge said she had to do mandatory testing. well court started yesterday and boom they were in the judges quarters, and next they are taking her kids. So I think she must have failed a test.

Answer 8

She didn't adhere to her court orders from the judge. Plus she proved to be a very unfit parent to her two youngsters. poor Pop Princess.
