Before us we see a young woman who's been working for most, if not all, of her life. One would have to assume Britney Spears possesses very little knowledge of what it is to BE a child, let alone how to go about raising two children of her own. How could she?

Britney Spears may be a 26 year old woman on the outside, however, one can only assume she hasn't a clue what it's like to simply be a regular, every day, normal Human Being. When, if ever, has Britney Spears had the time, or for that matter, the teachers? I doubt any person's ever taken the time to teach her how to best ride the REAL roller coaster called LIFE, nor do I believe she's ever had to learn how best to ride this often overwhelming, and sometimes terrifying, monster coaster. Unfortunately, or should I say fortunately, she's learning now. Sadly, it's the "HOW", I find most troubling.

Now, throw into the mix Britney's inability to fully trust ANY other person, and poor communication skills on top of that, and congratulations, we have a winner. Can anyone really blame Britney for this? Not I. To be truly honest, and speaking as a retired, two-time award winning foster parent, I believe I've no choice but to say: Pin it on her parents.

This sort of fiasco is what generally occurs as the results of what's commonly referred to as, "White Collar Child Neglect". Somehow, Britney's parent forgot to remember that she's much more than a simple commodity. Britney is, has always been, and will always be, their child. She, their daughter, is 26 years old, and yet they've just now decided to be parental? It looks as though they're all paying the price now, and indeed, a high price it is.

That said, women who've chosen to have children generally possess some sort of maternal instincts, therefore, I've no doubt she's quite capable of providing her boys with exceptional care, however, as I see it, she must first choose to take care of herself. As is always said by the flight attendant to the passenger, prior to the departure of any flight, "Please place the oxygen mask over your own face FIRST, then place the mask over the face of your child/children."

Anything Britney's family could possibly need, each and every member, is likely available at the touch of a button, and/or through the use of clear, and concise communication. I'm sure she has access to the same books, and care, as is available to any other Human Being, or better, and, while she's continually being improperly publicly diagnosed as either mentally, or emotionally unstable, I personally believe she's suffering mainly from a very broken-heart.

Realistically, I believe Kevin Federline to be the catalyst for much of this fiasco. You see Kevin's perfectly choreographed dance through Britney's life brought most, if not all, of this upon her. He hurt everyone involved, except for his self, of course.

I firmly believe destroying your children's Mother is far more dangerous to ones children than simply being naive, heart-broken, and, sadly, damaged by the people whom are expected to care for you the most.

Britney will heal, she will learn, she will grow, and she will successfully achieve all of these things in her own time, and in her own way, though, guidance is always highly suggested. As for her son's, well, I believe being left Motherless, and by force no-less, is far more dangerous for the boys than Britney loving and caring for them.

So, in closing, as far as I'm concerned, Britney is NOT a danger to her children. I fully agree with that odd boy's "You Tube" sentiments: "Leave Britney Alone".
