Britney loses custody of her kids!

[SSS1365]

I read on another message board that there is photographic evidence that she's not pregnant. Here's a link if you want to see it. I haven't seen it myself because I'm at work, but I've heard that it's not pretty.

I had heard that the papparazzi that took those shopping-for-pregnancy-test pictures were from the same agency that Adnan works for. So it may be Brit in cahoots with the papparazzi...like how she used to do two outfit changes a day so they could sell more pics of her.

Yea - I've heard that the guy's agency is getting all kinds of money for "exclusive" pictures

I believe it's actually the AP that has it written, not US Magazine.

Not pretty, and definitely not pregnant. YUCK!

I want her to go AWAY somewhere, with no photogs, and just get herself together.

We all wish it, but she won't. Or at least if she did, she wouldn't stay long. She can't stand to be without the photographers and her entourage

I hope she gets the helps she needs. It's just sad... no more words left to describe her.

[DaemonSeid]

shall we start taking bets now?

I, for some reason have TMZ (train wreck TV) and it's like the umpteenth time that Brittanywatch is the top story



Ok


Let's do this:


All those who say she is gonna die....pick a date and a method





All those who say she's going to end up in rehab...ditto





I got:

1. Death by OD by April

2. Death by Car wreck by mid march

3. Death by suicide before Feb 14th

4. Death by 'mysterious causes' on April 15

5. still working on that one

The report I heard was that she hadn't slept since Saturday. Makes me think she's in a manic phase of bipolar disorder. I hope she gets and accepts some help this time.

They reported that she has been diagnosed as bi-polar and the meds were not working. I'm not convinced she took the meds regularly enough to get them to work

^Reportedly Shar Jackson has said that Brit's kids don't even really realize she's not around. They're surrounded by Kevin and Shar's kids and all the family members. She says they ask for her but they don't truly understand that she's out of the picture for now. Since they're only 1 and 2 I kind of believe that.

Although they can't consciously express their feelings at those ages, they are also the ages where their relationship with their mother is most likely to affect them psychologically long term. It's much harder to work through very early trauma because there is no real memory of it. The mother-child bond at those ages is really important. I hope they will seek some professional advice for the kids too. It's easier when they are older and you can explain that mommy is sick and can't see them right now. Their whole sense of security is shaken right now and I wouldn't be surprised if they started to show some signs of separation anxiety.

With the exception of the helicopters, it's not unusual for the mentally ill to have a police escort to the hospital rather than an ambulance. When I worked with adults, more patients were brought to ER for evaluation by police than by anybody else. They are best equpped to deal with someone who is resisting. And, for some, it happened 8 or 9 times a year. It's hard to meet the criteria of "danger to self or others". The loophole criteria has to do with the inability to care for ones self. If she wasn't outright suicidal or agressive, not sleeping for 5 days could probably fall under the last criteria. Severe bipolar can be very hard to manage and frequent blood tests and medication adjustments can be necessary. Those who are determined to manage it (Patty Duke comes to mind) can do well, but it's work. It's more than just taking their meds. They need to get her stable enough that she can learn about the disease and become motivated to keep it under control. Perhaps, since she has money, they can keep her longer the than the norm, but for the average joe, insurance only pays for 3-5 days.. just long enough for the meds to kick in, not long enough to really work with someone on how to manage their disease. So frustrating for the people who work in that field and a serious flaw in our system. The push to de-institutionalize went way too far. While it's anecdotal evidence and I don't have research data to prove it, when I started in the field and adults could stay for 6 weeks and had trial home visits as part of the stay, they didn't return to the hospital several times a year as they did when it went down to less than a week.

The AP story I read says 40-100 people are committed against their will in Los Angeles County alone - per day.

An estimated 40 to 100 people are committed against their will in Los Angeles County every day, Spring said. Most, however, arrive with only an escort of two police officers or a psychiatric mobile response team.
