Britney Spears' son ban

Britney Spears could be banned from seeing her sons until April today (14.01.08).
The 'Gimme More' singer is due in court for the first custody hearing since she was stripped of her visitations rights to Sean Preston, two and 16-month-old Jayden James after refusing to hand them back to ex-husband Kevin Federline two weeks ago.
Kevin's lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan reportedly plans to ask Commissioner Scott M. Gordon, who is overseeing the custody battle, to prevent Britney having any access to her children until April.
Kaplan said: "Britney will have the opportunity to persuade the court that she can have some visitation under monitored conditions.
"The emergency court orders granting sole physical and legal custody to my client are only temporary.
"These are very, very draconian orders. Because of that the court wanted to have a hearing to give her and her attorneys the opportunity to refute some of the declarations."
Kevin was granted full custody of the boys in October when Britney, 26, failed to attend a court-ordered drugs test.
Until last Friday (04.01.08), Britney had three supervised visits with her sons, including one overnight stay, a week.
Her visitation rights were removed in an emergency court hearing after she was hospitalised for a psychiatric evaluation following a three-hour stand-off with police at her Beverly Hills home when she refused to hand her kids back to Kevin.
The police and emergency service personnel involved in the altercation are due to give evidence in court.
Britney left Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center a day after being admitted.

Just forgetting the fact that she's a celeb, she is a mother who is in real trouble (drinking, drugs, who know what else) and her kids are suffering for it. I feel sorry for her kids. Hopefully for their sake, she'll find a way to get her life back on track.
And she needs major help to get there!
Britney didn't make the court date today..........what does that seem to tell about her? She seems to like the 'free' life to do what she wants without the burden of her little boys - what a shame!
WHAT A SHAME. SHE HAD IT ALL AND SHE TAKES IT FOR GRANTED. PEOPLE SHOULD STOP WASTING THEIR TIME ON THIS ONE. SHE DOESNT CHANGE CAUSE SHE DOESNT WANT TO. SHE DOESNT WANT THOSE KIDS CAUSE IF SHE DID SHE WOULD HAVE ALREADY MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR THEM. SHE JUST WANTS THE ATTENTION. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THAT CANT HAVE KIDS AND DESERVE THEM AND HERE SHE IS TAKING HERE PRECIOUS ONES FOR GRANTED.

Maybe she could have visitation rights only with someone constantly with her and not be able to take them away from her house, but on the other hand, she hasn't really shown she cares so much - maybe it would be better if the boys aren't being confused with her coming and going right now. They should have some stability.
