We All Saw This Coming - Britney Spears Loses Full Custody of Her Children
Britney Spears must hand over custody of her sons to Kevin Federline this week "until further order of the court," a judge ruled Monday after a closed-door hearing.
L.A. Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon gave no reasons in his written decision, issued after lawyers met with him in a private session requested by Federline's lawyer. The ruling says that Federline gets custody starting Wednesday.
But the ruling came after the filing of misdemeanor charges against Spears â" hit-and-run and driving without a valid California license â" and claims by her ex-bodyguard that she used drugs and is a danger to her children, Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1.
Gordon also previously found that Spears is a "habitual, frequent and continuous" user of alcohol and controlled substances, and ordered her to submit to random twice-weekly testing.
Another hearing is set for Wednesday.
I was in class when I received a phone call about this. We all saw this coming. Sucks to be Britney right now. If she wasn't a "habitual" drug user before, she's gonna start now!
UPDATE
Spears took the kids to the drive-thru at Carl's Jr. at 12:02 this afternoon and surrendered the kids to K-Fed's bodyguard three minutes later.
A source connected with the case says Spears was not focusing on the judge's order last month, and she may not have attended the parenting classes or performed the required drug and alcohol testing.
*** Also, due to time restraints there won't be linkage today, but Snarky will be poppin' tomorrow. :)

I really think she thought it was a joke. That somehow, her kids can't be taken away from her because of who she is.Well, now she knows these people are not playing with her.I agree that this is the lowest point for her.

I do feel bad for Brit. But I think it just highlights the gender bias of the American court system.

Really sad but she hasn't given them up to K. Fed yet. Her lawyers might work something out. Never underestimate drama in Hollywood

Part of me feels sorry for her, but at the same time she brought it on herself, you know? It's obvious she is in no position to be raising those children, and in the end it has to be about what is best for them.
Depressing that it turns out that is KFed....can't we just give them to Brad and Angelina? I heard they are looking to adopt their 300th kid. I am sure they wont mind two more at once.
