Add to FavoritesI don't think that Britney Spears is a danger to her children. With every photo that they show in the magazines the kids look healthy and happy and they say that pictures tell it all. She, like other celebrities, can barely leave her home without a barrage of reporters just waiting to print something nasty about her.
I like these mother of the year awards that they foolishly give out to women who you rarely see photographed with their children. At least Britney Spears is shown with her boys often. I thought that it was really mean when they made a big deal when she was holding her son and tripped. That could happen to anyone and the cameras just happened to be there again.
I do think that Britney does other things for attention like faking a British accent for a while. She probably goes back to her home and laughs to herself about the reporters eating it up. The bald head thing was interesting also. Isn't there another famous singer that does unusual things like this and she also attracts a lot of media attention? It seems that mega fame and oddity go hand in hand, or maybe unusual behavior is a shrewd marketing tool for the super famous. After all, boring doesn't sell magazines. I always think of the movie "Soapdish" when Sally Fields character felt that she was loosing fans so Whoopi Goldberg's character made a big deal of seeing her at the mall so the paparazzi would come around.
Why does the media pick on certain celebrities to create bad news anyway and why are the mothers picked on so much? Taking care of kids is a tough job. Britney Spears is the mastermind of starting her own empire and good for her. It's great to see women achieving so much especially someone so young. As far as the mother thing goes, when she doesn't feel well she seems to have good family and her hard earned money enables her to have plenty of nannies to help with the children. Even though Britney hit a rough patch, she is still coming back with new and interesting videos. I'm sure that it's tough to be in the limelight like this where true friends are scarce and she probably has her guard up.
I imagine that you have to have thick skin to be in the public eye. The lack of privacy that comes along with the fame must be frustrating. I wonder if photographers even care if they hurt these celebrities when they bombard them with cameras. They should spend a day in their shoes and get a little taste of it.

Given the erratic behavior and her past use/abuse, as well as what can only be described as borderline psychotic if not good old-fashioned unbridled bi-polarity, I'd say until she 1) gets a clear and concise diagnosis and 20 some sort of therapy, pharma and pschyo program in place, she is a danger. She has given us numerous examples, not caring for the welfare of the children, and being a child herself mentally, she would no doubt benefit from some sort of parental courses in conjunction with some supervised visitation once she gets the greater issues of her own safety under check.
I feel for anyone who suffers from a mental malady, be it genetically, incidentally, or substance induced. Amplify that by some serious lapses in judgment when it comes to choosing who she associates with, either casually or romantically (and who in turn would have access to her children), and light up like the sun 24/7 by having your life broadcast internationally in television, print, and the internet. Yikes. Who wouldn't have an issue or two?
It's not that she would go lioness on them and attack them outright, but I think that she would take liberties with them that she has already, and perhaps take those poor judgment calls even further, and then the safety of her children would simply be at the risk of probability.
If she surrounds herself with people that care about her and for her, and professionals that aren't trying to make a name for themselves and exploit her even further, she has a chance. If she takes the needed time, as painful as it may be in the short term, to get her own head right with life, she will then be able to do the same for her children, but until she can say that she herself is okay, how will she ever be able to convince a judge, much less the far less forgiving public, that she can not only not be a threat to her children, but that she is entitled to joint custody.
