Britney Spears loses custody of her kids
When I saw this news yesterday, I wish I could say I was surprised. But I sort of knew it was only a matter of time. Superior Court Judge Scott M. Gordon ruled yesterday that Britney must surrender her children Jayden James, 1, and Sean Preston, 2, to their father Kevin Federline by Wednesday. It sounds like a temporary order for now, but I think it could easily become permanent if Brit doesn’t clean up her act.
Earlier in September, the same judge expressed concerns about Brit’s lifestyle and ordered her to undergo random drug and alcohol testing twice a week in order to keep her children. She was also ordered to see a parenting coach who would observe her parenting skills and report back to the court. She was also to attend parenting classes with Federline but it’s unclear whether those classes had begun yet or not.
There is much speculation that the children were removed from her custody because she failed her drug test. I have to admit, it certainly is looking to be the case. In which case I’m not just sorry for her and her inability to get a grip on her life, but her children as well. They deserve better from their mother.
I can only hope that this will be the wake up call she needs in order to get her life back in order. I’ve heard that after surrendering her children yesterday (two days ahead of schedule), that she went out on the town to party. I’m hoping that’s because she was feeling down about the turn of events and not because she felt “free at last”. It’s just a shame that Brit doesn’t seem to realize being a parent means a lot more than just giving birth.
