… yet.
“We aren’t charging her with anything at this time,” the LAPD says. “She is at the (hospital) for her own health and welfare.”
They have to charge her with something. She kidnapped her child!
Legal eagles, weigh in!!!! What can Britney be charged with???
There’s no way to tell until the Dr’s diagnoses are released. If they determine her to be insane, they cannot charge her with anything related to this particular incident. However, unless the judge is a cretin or something, she will almost certainly lose all custody and visitation rights.
Batshit crazy is more fun than drugs. Time for her turban.
she didn’t kidnap her kids. the only thing she did was break some custody agreement rules. She’ll just lose visitation.
For anyone interested in the law:
Interference with parental custody is a felony in most states today. Cali. Penal Code, § 278.5 (see below), which applies to anyone, including persons with a right to custody, prohibits the taking, enticing, keeping, withholding or concealing of a child and maliciously depriving a lawful custodian of the right to custody or maliciously depriving a person of visitation rights. However, § 278.5 does not apply to a person who has a right of custody and who deprives another of lawful custodial or visitation rights out of a good faith and reasonable belief that the child will suffer immediate bodily injury or emotional harm if left with that other person. So unless Brit can prove she had a reasonable belief the children would be in immediate danger while in Kevin’s care, she has no defense for her actions (seeing as being a complete fuck tard does not count).
Therefore, B. Spears could be criminally charged with deprivation of custody (a felony in Cali) or violation of orders relating to child custody and visitation rights (e.g. willful disobedience of a court order constitutes a misdemeanor).
