Celebrity Justice
Who's Behind the Britney Investigation? -- Plot Thickens

Sources tell TMZ the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services "abuse investigation" into Britney Spears does not involve physical mistreatment of her children.

Sources say the complaint lodged with DCFS involves allegations of poor dental hygiene, as well as poor eating and sleeping habits for her kids. Curiously, although DCFS keeps these allegations secret, they ended up in legal papers filed today by K-Fed's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, suggesting it might have been Fed-Ex himself who lodged the complaint.

And get this: DCFS is all too familiar with the family. We've learned that another anonymous complaint was filed with DCFS on July 2, but it went nowhere.

Sources say DCFS has put both Britney and K-Fed under the microscope in the past. In February, 2006, DCFS famously investigated Britney after the notorious car seat incident with Sean Preston. Ditto April, 2006 (while Brit and K-Fed were still together), after Sean Preston fell out of a high chair -- another DCFS investigation came and went.

4. OK, so she's a bad mom. Is there no other people in the house to help care for them, to make sure they brush their teeth, etc?

5. poor sleeping habits? John travolta keeps his kids awake all night, they all sleep all day, is this worthy of an investigation?

6. DAMN, how many more complaints have to be filed before those kids are taken away???? I hate to say it...."CPS will step-in when one of those boys is killed or seriously injured"

7. I saw something on the dental thing the other day - she supposedly let's the boys drink soda from their baby bottles - which any dentist will tell you, is THE WRONG THING...it could hinder the progression of their adult teeth - in fact, it could halt it all together, which means these kids will have nothing but baby teeth...brown, cavity-filled, tiny little baby teeth, that will eventually fall out all together - but with BritBrit's money - they can have the Elliott Yamin celebrity teeth!!!

It's unfortunate that we all must speculate on these stories - it sure would be nice to know the truth from the start...no offense tmz, I love reading this crap, I just know it's going to change, probably before my post shows up!

8. Britney is obsessed with teeth., If you remember it was Kevin who had rotting teeth and Britney paid to have them fix. If anyone is neglecting the boys teeth it is Kevin not Britney.

9. Britney just get Kevin's dental records from when you first met him. It will show the court he didn't even know what the word toothbrush was before he met you.

11. Its one thing for the legal authorities to let these celebs off with crashing their cars and spending a couple of hours in jail for DUI; is it going to take a dead child before they stop giving these people more chances and start applying the law.

14. I really don't like Britney. In fact, I detest her. However, I think she really is in a bad state right now and needs help. I do not think in any way that Kevin is a better candidate to care for these kids. Does no one remember when she first had Sean and he was just loafing around, doing drugs and flying to Vegas? She may be a screwball and I definitely wouldn't vote her as mother of the year, but where the hell has he been? I'm sure he still does drugs. He is also so involved in getting his lame career off the ground that I don't even think he'll be around for them. And when the hell is he even with his other kids? Does he even remember them?
I think he's fighting extra had for the kids because he wants Britney to support his lifestyle. She can't possibly be bad enough to have those kids taken away. I hope he loses everything. What baffles me is how Britney isn't fighting back and how she's not having his side subpeoned. She needs to make peace with her good for nothing mother so that she can at least fight for her. I hate Britney, but I hate fed- ex more.

15. Leave Brit alone, is it all of a sudden that the kids have bad teeth, DCFS need to look and see how long their teeth have been "bad" K-Fed get a life just spend the money and leave Brit alone... you're the reason she's the way she is....

I love you Brit, I actually put you and your boys in my prayers...
