Britney Under 72-Hour Mental Lockdown

In case you haven't had enough crazy for the day. This is how these things come about. Someone acts weird and people always comment that they are "strange" or "a bit off" for a while. Then one day they snap and go batty. In this case Britney Spears held her own kid hostage in a police standoff while she was on drugs and/or alcohol. I suppose the "Mother Of The Year" award is out now.
I'm going to go through this next bit and sprinkle a few things in:

Britney Spears was placed on lockdown for a mental evaluation Friday after the pop star locked herself in a room with one of her children at her L.A. home and refused to hand him over to ex-husband Kevin Federline.
I guess the deposition didn't go all that well. Perhaps Britney finally realized she was going to lose the kids. I bet Kevin federline has something pretty big on her. I believe he mentioned it to her once before and that prompted her to shave all her hair off.

A source tells PEOPLE it was the pop star's court-appointed child monitor who called police. "She had already put Preston in the car when Britney locked herself in a room with Jayden," says the source. "The cops came and got through the door and tied her down to a gurney."
Spears, who according to police appeared to be "under the influence of an unknown substance," was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where the source says she will be on a minimum of a 72-hour lock down for mental evaluation.
Yep, she's a head case. Keep in mind, her lawyer also petitioned to quit just the other day. She's fighting a losing battle and everyone knows it. You can't defend crazy.

The evaluation, known as a "5150 Hold," is, according to the medical code, "When any person, as a result of mental disorder, is a danger to others, or to himself or herself, or gravely disabled." The "mobile crisis team" is able to make this recommendation in writing and take a patient be evaluated and treated.
And here's one big statement regarding the child custody issue:

Preston was taken to the hospital by Federline's assistant, and Jayden was in the ambulance with the monitor, a source says, adding that the boys "won't be back with [Spears] for a long time." Federline took his sons home early Friday morning. Spears's father Jaime remains at the hospital.
The kids won't be with her for a long time. Mama went silly-silly and took a ride in a Whaaa-ambulance. Mama go bye-bye.

Yawn. It is sad that she is going through this. However, I feel most sorry for her kids. Poor things don’t stand a chance.

Part of me thinks she’s just acting… I mean, if she was on something, it’s obvious, but I just feel like she is so bored or something that she has to fake crazy. She’s disgusting, though. She’s no mother, neither is her mother or her pregnant 16 yr old sister. That family needs to all be locked away…
