LOS ANGELES (AP) - Britney Spears has been taken from her Los Angeles home in an ambulance following a dispute over the custody of her children.

The 26-year-old singer was lifted onto a gurney and into an ambulance after she turned over her two young children to ex-husband Kevin Federline. It's unclear where she was being taken.

Photographers pointed their cameras into the back of the ambulance and snapped pictures as it drove away.

Police say Spears was under the influence of an unknown substance.

Spears is fighting with Federline over the custody of their sons, 2-year-old Sean Preston and 1-year-old Jayden James. Earlier yesterday, she showed up late for a deposition in the legal battle.

On Wednesday, Spears' lawyers filed a motion to quit the case because of a "breakdown" in communication with their client.

You know, I think it’s time the court system stepped in and put her in a mental ward for a while. She is clearly not thinking like a rational human being.

yea, she’s had too much of my attention today.

I don’t disagree that she’s probably a lunatic and a bad parent. All I’m saying is that too many people are investing their time in this media frenzy. Let’s leave it to her family and the courts to worry about all this. Bad people have kids everyday but we don’t chase them around with cameras.

Sorry, the you don’t know them personally resonse doesn’t work. Unfortunately for her, it’s brought to me personally via medica. She is not a good parent, good parents don’t act the way she does. She does enough in the spot light to show what she does, this makes up for what I don’t see personally.

Oh ok, right.......and when’s the last time you spent time with Britney and her children? OH, thats right you don’t know them!!!!! Listen to yourself!!! All you know is what you see in the media, you may as well be the papparazzi.

I think the most important thing about all this is we need to think about the boys. To me, it’s obvious Britney can’t provide them with an environment conducive with normal development. If she gets the assistance she needs, maybe that will change. I hope Kevin can really step up to the plate and be there for them 24-7.

Report Abuse

I really don’t care what Britney Spears does in her personal life. It doesn’t concern me one bit. I don’t see why everyone else cares either. She’s not the first mother to lose her kids and won’t be the last. The only thing I’ve learned from watching her is how not to get bad hair extensions. Peace smile

Report Abuse

I don’t care who you are, rich,poor, famous or average being a parent should be a priority. She’s selfish, and the media excuse just doesn’t work anymore. She needs to grow up.
