Britney: "I Love My Child"

On Monday, photos surfaced of Britney Spears driving her SUV in Malibu with her son, Sean Preston, sitting on her lap behind the wheel. The pictures raised obvious questions because her young son was not in a car seat.

A source close to Spears explains that the singer drove to Starbucks with her bodyguard in the passenger seat and son Sean in his car seat in the back. When the bodyguard went into the store to get the drinks, Spears took Sean out of his car seat and held him in her lap while she waited. Photographers approached the car, says the source, and became aggressive. Once her bodyguard climbed back into the car, Spears drove away while still holding her son.

Spears explains her actions in an exclusive statement to People magazine:

"Today I had a horrifying, frightful encounter with the paparazzi while I was with my baby. Because of a recent incident when I was trapped in my car without my baby by a throng of paparazzi, I was terrified that this time the physically aggressive paparazzi would put both me and my baby in danger. I instinctively took measures to get my baby and me out of harm's way, but the paparazzi continued to stalk us, and took photos of us which were sold to the media. I love my child and would do anything to protect him."

So I guess handing the baby to her bodygaurd to put into the car seat would have been out of the question?

[daddyslittlegirl]

I can sorta see why she would've did that. If your truly scared and trying to get away from the papi, then you might just freak out and take off.

[Bunsen]

If she's so scared of the paps, why does her bodyguard leave her in the car with the baby to get coffee?? And is her AC broken or why didn't she even roll the window up to protect herself from the paps? Yeah right. They wouldn't have harmed the baby and she knows it, but driving like that could've.

[Britina]

I don't buy her BS excuse. Her bodyguard was sitting right next to her.

She's dumb. The end.

[britneybaby]

While I do think she made a mistake, I believe her story about the paparazzi. I don't see any other reason why she would take off without putting Sean back in his car seat. Her bodyguard is on the phone, so I doubt it would have been as simple as immediately handing him over, and it doesn't take long for them to snap some pictures.

Gwyneth Paltrow was snapped holding her son in the backseat of a car and nobody made a fuss, but you know Britney's going to be treated like she's the devil. She's not. She's a good parent who made a bad decision under stressful circumstances.

That's different. Completely different. Gwyneth was holding her baby in the backseat (still dangerous though IMO).

Britney is holding her baby while driving.

It's not completely different at all, in both cases the baby could be injured in an accident. At least Britney had some fairly understandable reasons for wanting to take off quickly. My point is that this is being blow out of proportion (as most things are with Britney), not that she didn't make a mistake.

lol seriously.

[Diva4230]

Holding a child while driving is stupid.. It's not like it was some ax murderer coming after her.. It's people who want a damn picture..

Would you rather have a picture of your son in a car seat? Or have photo's published of you holding your kid while driving??

[RIZINGSTAR986]

hahaha!! dummy

britneyrocks, where are you?? aren't you going to come give a bull defense for her?

[MzMcLean2000]

all in all.Britney is a blooming IDIOT for this sh it.

[oldestxtinafan]

this pisses me off!!!!!!!!!!! I would rather risk pictures being taken of my son SAFE in a car seat rather than in my arms while driving....

whats the point of the freakin bodyguard!!! this is like Michael dangling his baby off the balcony!!! PURE DUMB!!! Im sure she wasnt trying to harm her baby,,,,BUT SHE DID!!! AHHHHHHH, THAT PISSES ME OFF. think of PRincess Diana.....if britney is being chased...........wouldnt u want the poor baby in a car seat instead of in your lap....

[F-Lo¹98³]

Rofl @ somebody actually comparing holding a baby in a backseat to holding a baby while driving.

Here's the difference: Holding a baby while in the backseat is exactly like having a car seat. The only reason people HAVE carseats for their babies is because they can't hold them while driving, and they aren't yet developed enough to control their bodies on a normal carseat.

Holding a kid and manuvering a 2000 pound vehical while being beside, behind and in front of OTHER 2000 pound vehicals is completely different, and you all know that. It's just insane how some of you can turn such a blind eye to such a dangerous situation because your favorite singer is the perp.

This is like Steve Irwin and the Croc all over again. Only difference is Britney isn't a trained expert on babies or cars.

And she doesn't look that damned concerned in the pic. The only reason any of us know the Paparazzi were there is because the picture was taken. And it seems that this excuse is just a retaliation against them catching her being a bad mother and driver. "Oh, you saw me driving with Sean on my lap...well...yeah...I knew you were there and that's why I had him!!" LIAR.

What's so funny is, they could find the baby in the trunk, and her fans would believe her when she said "Oh, somebody was trying to kidnap and, and I figured it was the safest place."

Give me a break. Holding a baby in the back seat is exactly like having them in a car seat? You can't possibly be that ignorant. If there was an accident you'd find out the difference pretty quick. I said Britney made a mistake, so I don't know what you're blabbing on about a baby in the trunk. All I'm saying is that because it's Britney, people, including you apparently, are ready to pounce with a vengence. More so than they would with just about anyone else.

[speedyforme]

Regardless of whether it’s Britney…what she is doing is completely idiotic…and is no excuse who it is…

I mean, I’ve never heard of someone driving while holding their baby…let alone a famous person…

This goes into the archives of “another stupid thing”…

[britney_rocks]

No one gets as many paparazzi following them around like Britney does. She was scared and did it out of instinct. I've seen plenty of parents put their kids, pets on their laps. As an example putting a pet on your lap is way more harmful because it can go bazurk in any moment. I'm not saying what she did was wrong but come on she did it out of safety for her kid. Look at Reese who was boxed in she phoned the police and they did nothing. Whoever said holding a baby in the backseat of a car with no car seat is no worse than this situation. Anyway, it's over with because the police officer said no civilian reported or saw this funny eh you'd think the paparazzi would phone in. The police officer said it wasn't in their jurisdiction. They have no case whatsoever.

[speedyforme]

I personally think it’s not whether it is worse or not (backseat/frontseat)…but if she was really frightened (this goes for all parents)…if her instincts were to act like that, I’d be concerned for the child…

[vote-me]

Its no excuse though, the press weren't gonna try and harm the baby - all it would have taken was a reckless driver to smash into that car and Sean would be dead, end of.

Any person who does such a stupid thing deserves all the bad press which will come from it!

See now that just proves my point, how lovely to have the world analyzing your every move looking for mistakes. I doubt that there are many people in this world where they wouldn't find some if they were followed around like Britney is.

From what I'm seeing most Britney fans believe she made a mistake, but also believe that all the negative hate and backlash is overboard. Some believe it was a major mistake, some a minor one. Some remember times where they were held on their parent's lap and even allowed to steer, some remember the days when there were no seatbelt laws at all, some come from countries where there are still none. Although I can remember stuff like that myself from my childhood, and I understand that Britney wanted to get out of there quickly, I don't take this lightly and I do feel she made a mistake. However I also feel that for Britney the consequences of doing this are about 1000 times greater than they would be for just about anyone else and I don't think that's right either.

[bjorkfan19]

It's actually against the law in all 50 states to have in your vehicle (while it's being operated) an unrestrained child under 4 years. Front or back seat -- held or not held -- none are safe. They have to be in a car seat.

[britney_rocks]

Then do what Gwenth did. She didn't get charged so why should Britney. Everyone's done it everyone is guilty of it at some point or another. What makes Britney the only bad person in this situation. People who aren't even a fan of her are just saying harsh things because look who it is.

[speedyforme]

honestly, everyone has flaws, it just seems like Britney has many more...

all i can say is for myself...if i compare myself to Britney, I'm a saint...either im sheltered, too scared to try things or whatever...

and the reason why people judge her harshly is because A LOT of people seem to look up to her...

[F-Lo¹98³]

Everyone's done it everyone is guilty of it at some point or another.

This is a blatant lie, rofl. How can you claim such a thing? You don't know everyone.

And where did you see this picture of Paltrow? Is there proof this even happend? Or did you just think of the first female celebrity with a kid to transfer the guilt of Britney's stupidity?

There is a picture of Paltrow who did do that and she got no publicity whatsoever about it. So what makes it so different to hold your baby without restraint in the backseat than holding your baby in the front seat? No difference. Thanks for calling other people names. Very mature.

Show me the picture. Obviously there was publicity or else you wouldn't have seen it. Until I see it, how can I assume that...the car wasn't parked? You know? Maybe she was holding the baby and just about to put her in the seat? All I have now is your word at a time when your favorite performer is under fire for doing something stupid.

What I find ironic is the fact that you choose to believe Britney's story soley because she's your favorite singer. The only reason you believe that the Paparazzi was near her is that there's a pic. Kinda interesting that a woman is swarmed by Paparazzi and only 1 picture leaks...

Answer me this logically and I'll shut up: Can you disprove the notion that she only used the Paparazzi excuse because it would be feasible with the fact that a picture was taken?

Can you prove that it wasn't just a clever, believable excuse due to the fact that there is photo evidence? That she wasn't trying to turn it on the person who caught her red handed?

Here's a personal thought: Obviously the kid was in her lap since the trip began. If she took the kid outside, and noticed the Paps were out, why didn't she just go back in? Why even bother heading out if she was so fearful that she wouldn't think to put the kid in the appropriated seat?

I mean, if she wasn't too afraid to take the kid out with the Paps around the house, why be so frightened that she couldn't take a couple minutes to put him in his seat? And if the Paps weren't around the house, then she has no excuse for not putting him in his seat.

[britney_rocks]

You really need to lay off and get over it. It's been two days already and you're acting like she murdered someone. You expect me to go find a picture that was taking almost 2 years ago? I actually have a life then sitting here writing 2 essays every day about the same thing.

There's a difference between being at home than on the road with crazy paps all over the place. Britney wasn't expecting that the paps will be looking from the outside in to see her baby. Plus no one saw anything just his feet. lol some of these examples are really quite irrelavant.

You're so full of crap, lol. One minute you guys are bitching that the Paps always follow her, then you say she wasn't expecting them to be there. I mean, this is the same woman who's mother ran over a guy's foot while trying to get away from the Paps.

Bottom line is you choose to believe her because she's your favorite singer. You have no other reason for taking her side. You saw his feet? Who's feet? Can you prove who it was? You see feet and suddenly it dawns on you that Britney is being truthful? LOL

If you can mention it, you can find the pic. I mean it's the internet, if it exists all you need to do is type in the words and find it. Until then, how can you prove you're not making it up?

[DreamyEyesFan2]

she should have posed for few minutes and then they wouldn't be so agressive. Those photographers are hungry, literally. They eat because of Britney sometimes.

[brit&janet4eva]

i believe that what britney did wasn't so smart and there is no excuse to change the fact that what she did was stupid. but it happen a few days ago, the baby is still alive, and obviously she wont do it again so can ya stop arguing about this.

[jimmyboy]

Then do what Gwenth did. She didn't get charged so why should Britney. Everyone's done it everyone is guilty of it at some point or another. What makes Britney the only bad person in this situation. People who aren't even a fan of her are just saying harsh things because look who it is.
WTF??? And I thought Britney was stupid. So cuz you think a lot of people does it it means it's right? Or it's wrong but it's ok to do it without being accused of being stupid because "everybody`s done it"? One thing it's that U like her music, but supporting everything she does, including risking the life of her baby just because she was afraid of the paparazzies she has dealt with for years now? Now that's plain stupid.
She risked the life of an innocent kid, who I'm sure would have rather to have his picture taken than being killed in a car accident, and that's wrong, there is no excuse by it. I have never done it and neither has anyone with a little brain.

I don't choose to believe her because she's my favorite singer. I have other favorite singers and I don't choose to believe them if they've done something wrong. I already said she made a mistake but you keep on dragging the subject on. It's been 4 days already or even more.:manson:

So after 4 days we should forget every illegal action?

[britney_rocks]

So after 4 days we should forget every illegal action?You are as bad or even worse as youngbuck. Why don't you just stay over at the other forum. You clearly aren't a fan about Britney. I'm not just saying that because of this situation but conveniently you always try to find some alternative to bash her even though there's no reason for it.:eek:
