Unfortunately I would say that America is obsessed with her. It’s hard to get away from it. But as a mom - I have to admit it hits a chord with me. I do not jump to her defense all the time, but honestly it really seems like a smear campaign. There are so many people living in H-wood with terrible habits. Didn’t a young child die in Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee’s pool (btw they live like rock stars in the truest sense of the word) rarely do you see commentary re: their parenting skills. Kate Moss - man she must be the worst of the bunch. Where is the public outcry to take away her daughter? I guess a boyfriend that gives his cat cocaine should be trusted around a three year old. The list is long and disturbing. It just annoys me that people vilify this girl and really want to see her collapse. The allegations of bad parenting started immediately with her. Give me a break anyone can trip with a baby or get the car seat rules wrong. It wasn’t until recently that she really appeared to be a negligent parent.

I just think that if all the stories about her are true then she will lose custody of her kids - but until that time why do so many people take so much joy out writing and commenting about a bad situation?

What I said was that - THANKFULLY in America people are innocent until proven guilty. Most of the documented mistakes she has made thus far are the actions of an irresponsible mom - possibly someone in crises but that is a far cry from declaring someone an unfit parent.

Your statement “she wanted to be a pop star from day one and she is often the one making the decisions about her sexual tone in her music and videos. She is a product of her own making, her family were the ones keeping her head on straight” is just plain ignorant. You my friend need to take a long hard look at your own values if you think that 9 - 16 year olds are EVER in the position to clearly decided what they want out of their lives (I wanted to be a model, a teacher, a singer and a geologist - how ’bout you??). Preadolescents and teenagers don’t have that kind of world experience - THAT is what parents are for! Thankfully my parents clamped down on me when I made silly or inappropriate choices at that age - it gave me the coping skills needed for life in the real world.

And how do you know that her parents kept her on the straight and narrow? Money and the pursuit of it does strange things to people. Unless you know their family personally you have no idea what went on behind closed doors - and if you think the PR surrounding their family was real well then you really should really think about taking some courses on marketing.

and don’t you think it is even remotely suspect that their youngest daughter is following the same exact path - with the exception that her mother seems to exercising some sort of parental controls?

Whatever I don’t know these people and I am not going to pretend I do - but something seems a little fishy to me. If she was as insane and as abusive as people are reporting K-fed or the grandparents should be seeking FULL custody and they should be working together to get her the help she needs. A good parent NEVER gives up on their child. They allow them to hit rock bottom - but that doesn’t include allowing them to take the kids with them. My gut says much of this about the money.

If the allegations that she gives her children alcohol are true, my heavens, it hardly gets any worse, except perhaps for beating them.

Britney has systematically removed people from her life who care about her and have taken care of her for most of her life. I haven’t heard ONE thing that her parents have done that weren’t in Britney’s best interest.

Also, if you have ever read or seen interviews with Britney, she wanted to be a pop star from day one and she is often the one making the decisions about her sexual tone in her music and videos. She is a product of her own making, her family were the ones keeping her head on straight. Britney may be saavy at working the media, but she isn’t very bright and certainly lacks the basic judgment a person needs to be a positive role model for their kids.

Has anyone questioned Mr. Federline’s request for 70/30 custody. If she was such an abomination as a mother he would have requested sole custody baby - and if he had proof that she was giving them booze and abusing them he would get it. Common people this all about the money and unfortunately no one seems to get that.

There is more to this that meets the eye. Why is no one questioning why K-Fed shaved his head the same day Brit did - and has continued to do so?? Why is no one questioning the ethics of parents that turn their teen age daughter into a sex object before she is 16? Hmmmmm - and I guess the best way to support your possibly mentally ill daughter is to flaunt your support of her ex-in a public manner…

This whole thing is sad. If we are going to persecute Brit than we should also consider the examples that the media neglects - Eddie Murphy, Gavin Rossdale, Tommy Lee just to name a few Hollywood men lacking parental sanity - or what about Kate Moss where are all the articles written about taking away that little girl! There is proof galore that she is living in a drug riddled environment.

I could go on but I don’t have all night. Leave the girl alone. The truth will come out in court. Until then why should she be labeled an abuser.
