I blame Kevin Federline. The day she met him her life began unraveling. He took one of our icons and ruined her. Now, this poor girl needs her children. It seems that the more she is away from them, the crazier she becomes. And the people around her are no help! Everyone wants to make money off her and that creates serious trust issues between her and these people. I wish her the best and hope someone can help her soon.

Poor girl seems to have been screwed over by nearly everybody who's ever known her. Can't help but feel sorry for her.

I believe that Britney is just confused right now and I believe the babies need to stay with their father, for now. I just think the media needs to get off her tail and give her some time to grow up. She was thrown into being a celebrity at a young age and I think that as a result of that, she wasn't prepared for that kind of media attention.

i realli feel sorry for britneys kids because they are going to grow up and be without her mother so i think that she should get 1 more chance and get her kids bak because she may have a condition but she don't need to have her kids taken away from her that is going to make it even worse for her. If she does get her kids back then she should have some one to help her ut then she wouldn't be alone and then the press can stop saying that she is a unfit mother ..... i think GIVE HER BACK HR KIDS!!!!!!

Very sad, I feel like giving her a hug. She doesn't look like she has a very good group of people around her.
Hopefully this time, she'll stay in for a few months until the frenzy subsides a little and she is clean and thinking straight.
If she can come back from all this it will be remarkable but I think she is at a point where she should just give public life away for good.
Crikey, she's got so much money, she could buy an island and chill out for the rest of her life.
Good luck Brit, not everyone's out to get you.

OK. I'm not a fan of hers, but as a human with the ability to care, I think its time that ALL MEDIA cease reporting every move the poor girl makes. Good grief - I bet you even know when she goes pee and that you have photos!! Its harassment and terrorism on a whole different level. SHAME on THE PRESS!

Lets see if you have the guts to post this.

It's extremely sad to watch this train wreck get worse. We as public can't help but stare. I think her break down is due to a huge down spiral of events in her life and who wouldn't go insane having cameras flashing in her face 24/7. If they could all just back off, or take her away somewhere private and let her get herself back on her feet. She could overcome this abuse she has let in to her life. I feel sorry for her and her children. She needs help to get back in to reality and see what is important to her and that is her and her sons.

Once again, I see a great many posters here claiming Britney should be reunited with her children - for Britney's benefit. And I agree, these children need to see their mother.

But still in all, she could not show up to her kid's court date on time. That tells you all you need to know about this self-centered girl. If she really cared about those kids, no matter what her personal issues were, depression or otherwise, she would have been there. For any parent, that would be the most important time committment on the planet.

There are no excuses, short of her being hospitalized at the time, breaking a leg, or some other issue that would make it impossible.

People need to take responsibility for the actions and lives, no matter their age. And when they screw up, they have to accept the consequences. She's no different than anyone else regarding this. Stop treating her as if she's a two year old.

while i do not wish to see anyone in such a sorry state, she has to accept her share of responsibility. She courts publicity and if you live by the sword, you also must die by it.

I think the media can learn a valuable lesson through poor Britney on mental illness it might educate the media to do more for mental illness, because it is the cinderella illness in todays society its time the media helped people suffering from mental health issues because a lot of people working in the media suffer from these illnesses they have the edge on helping overcoming the taboos and misconceptions that we have to endure, this morbid fascination with Britney is not healthy in helping anyone, its time for a bit of humanty no one is invincible not even the self righteous pompous ones who put Britney down in her hour of need.
