NO: Of course, Britney has proved time and again she is an unfit mother and needs legal and medical intervention. However, KFed will never win a father of the year award. Legal custody of the two little boys, Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, one, will now be solely his responsibility. This seems to be a terrible mistake.

KFed is an untalented laughing stock in the music business, and a notorious sleep-around who almost certainly caused Britney to divorce him because of his cheating ways. He's already the father of at least two out-of-wedlock kids with another woman, who is rumored to be pregnant again.

Surely, the Los Angeles judge who made the ruling must have had other alternatives to consider for the care of the boys. Aren't there willing family members of Britney who'd be much more qualified to care for and protect the boys? This obviously poorly thought-out ruling may be sentencing them to be tossed from one disfunctional, whacked-out caregiver to an even more whacked-out one.

The couple was married three years ago, and after a stormy two years and two babies, Britney filed for divorce. The decree became official in July, and the original agreement was to share custody. Although, as rumors had it, Britney offered to pay KFed considerable support money on a regular basis if he'd just go away, he began almost immediately after their separation to fight for total custody. Other than financial, has anyone taken the time to question his motives?

Britney's downfall has been relentlessly followed on TV gossip programs, and front pages of newspapers and supermarket tabloids. Paparazzi photos and videos show her nightly partying, exposing herself, ignoring car seat belt laws while with her children, frequent driving violations and other examples of bizarre behavior. On a previous attempt at rehab, she held a public display of having her head shaved.

Her performance at the recent MTV Awards TV program was a pitful display of a confused and troubled woman. Granted, Britney has done everything possible to prove she's an unfit mother. However, giving the children to her equally disfunctional ex-husband seems to be a terrible decision.
