Brit's Parents -- We're Soooo Frustrated

Jamie SpearsThe following statement was released to CNN's Anderson Cooper by Jamie and Lynne Spears, Britney's parents:

"As parents of an adult child in the throws (sic) of a mental health crisis, we were extremely disappointed this morning to learn that over the recommendation of her treating psychiatrist, our daughter Britney was released from the hospital that could best care for her and keep her safe. We are deeply concerned about our daughter's safety and vulnerability and we believe her life is presently at risk. There are conservatorship orders in place created to protect our daughter that are being blatantly disregarded. We ask only that the court's orders be enforced so that a tragedy may be averted."

76. I can't believe they let her go. If she actually has a psychological problem, there hasn't been enough time to properly diagnose her, let alone treat her. If she was on drugs, voluntarily or otherwise, she hasn't had time to detox. If she is just a little drama queen trying attract attention with her stunts, her ass should be thrown in jail. Any way you look at it, she shouldn't be free to drive around the streets in LA. What is wrong with the state of California and its psychs?

78. Bottom line - she is over 18 and is not currently a ward of the court. Her parents' court ordered protection only extends to her business dealings. If she wants to go out driving, endangering herself and others, she can appearently do so.

There is not much that can be done for an adult who does not want to seek treatment. Concerned family and friends just have to wait until the person hits bottom and recognizes that they need treatment. This young woman may well be dead before this happens.

For most people, the person ends up living on the street before the realization sets in. I cannot imagine that the leaches that have attached themselves to Brittney will allow that - they will kill her long before that happens

89. Britney is no longer on an involuntary hold and considered gravely disabled; however, she could have stayed in the hospital. Once she is determined to be NOT gravely disabled, then it is up to her to voluntarily agree to stay and be treated. Her parents or doctors do not have any legal right to make her stay...

90. This is like a circus. I understand how her parent's feel. You just cannot control an adult child. Albeit one that is under a "brainwash" attempt. I always think in a Pollyanna way that someone can actually save these people and right all the wrongs but that is not how life is. She will have to come to her own way of dealing. Keep the faith Mr. and Mrs. Spears.
