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.
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.
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.

People need to stop just sitting and waiting for her for snap and get her the obiviuos help she needs! This is a person just crying out for someone to help her and care about her not because they want something out of her fame but because they care is all. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!
This is horrible.. and heartbreaking. The paps, need to back the f-ck off. They need to stop chasing her around with cameras and leave her the hell alone! It’s obvious she is really close to a big melt-down and I don’t mean a melt-down you can get back from.. The paps, need to understand she is a PERSON.. she has feelings.. sure, she probably has more money than all of em.. but she doesn’t deserve to be STALKED. All paps do, is make her look really bad.. She just wants her kids back.. she just wants to be out of the lime light.. but noone will let that happen! K-Fed no f-cking way, deserves to take care of the kids! He is just in it for the f-cking money! People who don’t see that, are blind! I really wish, K-fed would f-cking admit he wants the money and run.. He’s not a role-model for the kids.. I bet he’s f-cking a judge, thats why he has the kids.. Seems very possible to me.. and I know i’m rumbling on.. and you probably think i’m crazy.. But it’s true.. Britney, you have people behind you! Don’t give up! And don’t let that a–hole K-fed win.
I pray for brit, she really needs the Lord to interven for her right now, because this is very dangous for her and the pap need to stop before they driver her to the grave…like they did to princess diana….Everyone needs to pray for Britney right now…she needs all of our prayers. Get Well BRitney, we are all pulling for you…
Someone need to send kevin some payback….

BRITNEY STAY STRONG GET WELL THERE ARE MILLONS OF US WHO WANT YOU FEEL YOURSELF DONT LET NOBODY TAKE YOUR LIFE AWAY
Hopefully she gets the help she needs, or maybe she just needs all the stalkers/media/paparazzi to leave her the f alone. Those people are the scum of the earth, I bet all of them have a little penis. She should sue the bastards for mental anguish. What they do is not normal and I don’t know why the cities let this continue. I hope they feel guilty when something really bad happens, but probably not.
She needs a good friend to live with and to help her to live healthy, get her career back and the get her kids back. She is alone and it is too much to support herself. Kevin is a really bad man and all the troubles started with him. People should judge also his attitude and his parties not only hers.
COME ON BRIT!
The sad thing is that she is still a child inside who has never been taught the ways of the world. Yes she is of legal age now and must be held accountable…there are no winners here..Would I hope for is for someone to just wisk that young girl away for a good year…take everything away from her, someone who doesn’t want anything from her…someone who can love her a nurture her the way she SHOULD have been by her parents as a child…Give her a bit of guidance and let her learn about the real world….she will always be brittney….she doesn’t need any more money..what hse needs is to be loved unconditionally and healed from the pain of her life spinning out of control…she cant stop it…she hasnt a clue how to..NOT HER FAULT EITHER…She is a child, a lost little girl….I pray for her and her boys
I agree with Maria
I feel really sorry for Brit and feel strongly agaisnt what they are potraying her out to be. Truth be told the camera always lies…you have to look at the person behind it. The way that the media is constantly around her is just wrong. Britney is only doing what any mother out there would do, trying be with her kids.The media would do anything just to get a front page story.
Why dont they chase K-fed around everywhere and see how is copying trying to be a father to his kids and leave the poor girl alone!!. If Britney has a melt down i blame the media. The media need to understand there is a bigger world out there full off other issues that need to be addressed such as world hunger,Natural Disasters so on and so forth. This is what needs to be in the paper!!
WE LOVE YOU BRITNEY!x
Britney has been thro some hard times and people are jus takin advantage of her.. she does need help.. and shes a cool girl! She jus needs to get back on track, but i dnt understand why people have to keep runing her into the ground… shes been thro hell and back with everything and no one understands that.. if someone else lived her life in the past then they would be loosing it. Think about it! She LOVED kevin and now hes tryin to take her kids away from her.. Kevin use to be the party person and Britney was always by her kids side when kevin was out late at night drinkin and smokin..she worked too hard for her kids to be takin away from her..
We love you Britney!!!!
Everybody Comment ,Ask ,Take more pictures,and intrude Britney private Life.
But Would Anybody Try To Help Her ?? Its seems Everybody trying to put her more Down than she is.
Or is Everybodys Scared if she gets good help. The Paparazi´s have NO work , If you only know What your doing to this young Mother. Or your Waiting til she Really Braeks Down ,It should not go this far. Her kids are suffering too.I personaly think it time to help her.
I am not personally a Brit fan, however I do feel for her. She has been in the lime light for so long, and her mom really has only collected a pay check from her, rather than be a mother. I wish the media and the paparazi’s would leave her alone so she can have some alone time. Maybe she needs an intervention, or maybe she needs someone to just love her for her, not for her money or talent or social stature. She is a human with feelings, thoughts, worries, fears, dreams just like anyone else, and the public need to respect that and give her some privacy. And for God’s sake dont let her mother near her! Someone give her some support and tell her she can get through this, get her out of the spot light to work on herself! She needs to learn to be a person and be ok with who she is….. You dont always have to be Britney Spears.. Pop princess…. it is ok to just be Britney, mom, friend, sister, daughter and woman! Commoners survive like that all the time!
I think that Britney needs to take a breather and leave on vacation and get some R and R so she can back on track think things through and be away from the media. Because as we all know it when things are going south we need to step back a few and look at the situation on hand and make a decison either live with it or move on.But if she continues to do the things that she is doing nothing good will come out it. Like just what happened a couple of days ago it could of been worst.Thank GOD that it wasnt. I hope that she realizes that people will always have things to say negative and postive and that is just the way of life we as normal people we encounter that day in and day out but learn to live with it and move on. Britney you have 2 things to do about Build a bridge and get over it.. Believe me Britney all will be better but you have to make the first move, making decisions is something that we have to make by thinking through things that are happening around us and coming out with a solutions.
I hope that who ever read this agrees.
Britney we are thinking of you here in canada hope you well in your time of need. WE are praying for you.
i hope britney gets the help she needs and quickly. i am so sad that people have judged her for just being human. everyone makes mistakes and there are many people that need medication to cope with life. i pray that she accepts that.
I agree with all who say “Leave Britney alone”. She deserves to be the mother in her children’s lives. My heart aches for the pain she is enduring at this time. Unless you have ever experienced having the system take your children away from you, you do not even begin to know the pain and suffering that goes through you. The whole world is in a very private part of her life which compounds the problem. I, too pray that she will be provided strength to realize she is still a good person and a GREAT mother. No mother deserves to be treated like this. The public eye does not know the whole story and therefore should not place judgement. I hope she will confide in someone she deeply trusts to help her through this. I’m sure at this point she is tired of having everyone’s opinion and would just like to have someone’s sincere understanding. Best Wishes to you and your lovely boys. You have been and will continue to be on mind with hope that this is soon behind you. Britney — Please, Please, Please be strong!! You are a very beautiful Lady with a very bright future.
I feel sorry for her. I blam her mom and dad. I think if they had not been so money hungry she might be in a better place. Everyone is out for her money or her fame and it seems that she does not have anyone there that cares for her for who she is and not what she can do for them. She needs real help, my heart goes out to her and her children. I can only hope that one day she will wake up from this to recover before its too late.
Wow… I have been following the story with her for a while now and my heart breaks for everyone involved. Its sad that were even involved… this is why the media is so into her, because we rank their numbers higher and higher. Britney I feel for you and what I get from what is portrayed… which Im 99% sure isnt the truth, yet I see postpartum depression. You have media chasing you around like white on rice, alot of drama in your life in so many areas and of course your divorce with your former husband. I personally think your going to freak out because its way too much stress. I just had my son 7 months ago and If I was in your position, Id be freaking out slamming up some paperazzi’s vehicles too… that would drive me absolutely nuts. Why doesn’t everyone see that You’ve had two pregnancies in 2 years, 2 kids, 1 divorce and 1 family mess. I’ve gone through 2 pregnancies in a year in a half, my husband gone right after a miscarriage and gone through my whole full term pregnancy due to military training and now were in the beginning of a deployment AGAIN, living with my family and having financial issues. If I had the media chasing me around, I’d be a wreck too. Its hard and I think its postpartum depression which MAY have turned into bipolar disorder which is technically a form of major depression that NEEDS to be treated…. So much criticism is being thrown around… that help needs to be given and I pray that you make a turn for the better for you and secondly for your kids. Your in my prayers.
I hope Britney recovers soon and know that her fans are out there World Wide praying for her to be better. This too shall pass!!!!!
We LOVE you, from the island of Trinidad & Tobago

So heartbreaking for her little boys. She obviously is suffering from post partum depression. She’s probably never been treated properly. The media really needs to stop tryint to push her over the edge and let her get things together so she can be a mother to her boys. I wish her the best.
I think everyone is in agreement with the fact that the paparazzi needs to back off. If anything, all they are doing is making Britney’s “mental state” even worse. Does anyone want Britney’s story to end up like Princess Diana, Marilyn Monroe or Anna Nicole Smith? Absolutely not! Obviously Britney is in need of alot of help, not only for her sake but for the sake of her kids. And regardless of the reason she has spun out of control, the simple fact is she needs people surrounding her that truely care about her not people who are more focused on the amount of money they can make off of her. Maybe she should make an public apperance and ask that the papparazzi to “Please! Leave Me Alone for now.” Think about it, how much can you get done, whether it be your though process or inner healing if you always have TONS of people crowded around you and lights being flashed in your face constantly. I’m not saying the papparazzi is totally to blame. Britney has to WANT to change and better herself BUT I do feel they play a big role in her troubles. This is actually a VERY sad story. I think alot of people hope that she can come through this with flying colors but she is going to need genuine help.
As for Kevin, I feel he is focusing on the most important thing right now, the kids. Children are very innocent and need someone to take care of them. It may look cruel or incensetive to Britney’s feelings and emotions right now but its time she starts acting like an adult, and a mother. Her kids need her just as much as they need him. If she is incapable of providing what her kids need most for the moment than Kevin, in my option, has no other choice but to step up and doing everything in his power to do right by Sean and Jayden.
All anyone can do is pray that this strory does a 360 degree turn for the better.
Our Prayers are with you Britney……………
you people are crazy, britney would not be “britney” without the papparazzi. she knows what she’s doing and she’s doing a damn fine job of being in every tabloid available. she can’t cut it with a #1 hit, so why not go about it in a different direction? she could care less about those children..and let us remember people, the reporters didn’t take her kids away, they didn’t ruin her marriage, they didn’t make her sniff shit up her nose, nor did they make her go out without panties–so let’s take a good look at everything before we say “poor britney”!
