Problem Parent


Britney Spears is to be investigated by social workers concerned about the welfare of her children, it has been reported.The Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services is apparently trying to track down the singer for a meeting.Miss Spears, 25, split from her second husband, Kevin Federline, last month, and since then has been a fixture on the Hollywood party circuit.She has been photographed — minus her underwear — at nightclubs in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, alongside socialites Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. According to newspapers in the US, authorities fear she is failing to provide proper care for her two sons with Federline, Sean Preston, one, and three-monthold Jayden James.
“The department has been calling Britney trying to set up a meeting with her, so they can check on Sean Preston and Jayden James,” a source told the New York Post.“The calls started after this recent bout of bizarre public behaviour.”Her antics are also said to be worrying her mother Lynne.“She is very disturbed and has been trying to get a hold of Britney, but she can't,” the source said.“Lynne, Britney's brother, Brian, and her dad, Jamie, are very upset and are trying to stage an intervention with her manager's help.

“Her dad is not happy. He told her that she's a grown woman and needs to act like one, and she's been making bad decisions.”This is not the first time that Miss Spears's parenting abilities have been called into question. In February, she was visited by the US Department of Children and Family Services after being seen driving with Sean Preston on her lap while not wearing a seatbelt.Two months later Californian childcare officials and police reportedly visited her Malibu home after the boy fell from a highchair and hit his head while under the care of a nanny.
