I’m actually surprised by this, because anyone can clearly see that Kevin is no more fit to parent than Britney. In fact, I would look at the judge square in the eye, and say, “do you realize, that he walked out on his pregnant girlfriend to be with Britney? Please explain how that makes him MORE fit to parent.” Point blank, I think this is a lot of the problem with things today; kids raising kids. I think the kids should go to Britney’s mom, but that’s just my two cents. I remember my early twenties, and I can tell you right now, I would have been an awful parent. I was practically a child still, learning the ways of the world… and that isn’t even considering the mad media that is watching their every move. Parenting is hard enough with out the added pressure of growing up yourself in the process, and that ever present eye of the media. All four people in this situation are in a bad place right now, and I hope things work out best for all of them.
Shit, maybe this will be just the “wake up call” that she will actually be able to hear this time, and she can use this time to get things back on track for herself. Maybe she will grow from this experience, and will grow stronger and better as a result. It really is sad that child stars get chewed up and spit out by the “industry”, and the results are often devastating. Apparently, you have to hit the bottom before being able to make things right, when you are famous. Hopefully, this is the lowest it will go for Britney, and she can make some good in the near future. I’m rooting for you, babe.
I feel bad for Britney, and hope that she gets her kids back in the end… after she makes things right. Hopefully, she will be able to do so soon. I honestly feel the worst for the kids who are obviously being used as pawns in this whole thing, when they should just be taken care of; but by who is not for me to say… I just don’t think Kevin is the best choice; that’s all.
Oh well, what are you going to do, right?

Both are unfit and should never have been allowed to breed
yowza! That was a bit harsh!
Question for you Duane
What Britney do you see, the one that parties all weekend, fucked up on drugs and alcohol, peels out of starbucks car parks to “escape” papperazzi with a baby on her lap, drives without a valid license, disobeys all of the court-ordered custodial stipulations… or some other Britney that no one else see’s?
Yeshhhh, she’s Mommie Deaerst huh? Give me a break, at least K-Fed has been keeping a low profile pretty much all of this year
Again, yowza! I think that you are doing what a lot of people do; blaming her for rookie, childish mistakes. She is practically a child after all. Look at all the other famous girls around her age (think Lohan); growing up in the public eye has consequences, and a lot of what would be seen as normal “early twenties” behavior, is blown out of proportion.
I never said she was perfect, and never forgave her for the things you mentioned, but how much of it do you know to be real, and how much of it is circumstantial. No one knows what is going on with Britney other than Britney. It is the same as when Brad and Jennifer were seperated; people said awful things about Jolie, and how she made Brad cheat, but the only people who know what happened were the three of them.
I think that the media is made to spin and twist things to make them seem “newsworthy”, when the people that get hurt are the kids, like in this case.
I don’t think she should win “mom of the year”, but I don’t think she has done anything that is that horrible either. There are kids that are beaten by their parents, raped by their fathers, and we are taking her kids away because she is “unfit”. Give me a break. It is all because she is in the public eye, nothing more, nothing less.
Erm… Kevin is the better parent. He walked out on her while she was pregnant, but he never shrugged his fatherly duties. Kevin Federline is a lot of things, but so far as I’ve seen, a bad father is not one of them. Britney has been seen driving with a baby in her lap… multiple times. And she’s always out partying(even days before the hearing in which she lost her children). And she’s had to spend some time in rehab. And you’re never going to go to rehab for doing anything that makes you a good mother. And she’s been found to be using illegal drugs. And she was convicted of a hit and run(probably with her children in the car, but I don’t know the details), and she’s been driving without a license.
So far as Wikipedia and I are aware, Kevin Federline hasn’t been convicted of any crimes since having children. And I haven’t heard of anything he’s done to endanger their lives.
And I don’t chalk anything in parenting up to “rookie mistakes.” Not when you’re talking about something as horribly dangerous as driving with a baby in your lap. That is beyond ridiculous.
Duane,
She was ordered to meet with a drug counselor — she didn’t go.
She was ordered to submit to drug testing — she didn’t do it.
She was ordered to enroll in parenting classes — didn’t do it.
She was also required to sign the judge’s order — again, she didn’t.
Child star or not, she can’t follow a judge’s orders and no one should feel bad for her.
Um… Britney is only a year and a half younger than me. In reality, she is not “practically a child”. She should know better.
Why the obsession with this half-wit, no talent girl? WHO CARES! She was all over the news on 9/11, too. That is so sad…
