Britney investigated over child abuse?

By M.S, August 28, 2007

I just found a shocking new about Britney Spears. Here the story:

Britney Spears is being investigated for “child abuse” as part of the ugly custody battle with her ex-husband, it has been claimed.

The allegations were reportedly raised at a recent hearing with Spears’ lawyer, the attorney for her ex Kevin Federline and a lawyer from Los Angeles County Counsel.

The claims have emerged as Spears battles with Federline for custody of 23-month-old Sean and Jayden James, 11 months.

A hearing has been arranged for September 4 to decide who will have custody of the boys.

The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services has targeted the troubled mother-of-two, whose parenting skills have been put into question following a number of incidents and reports from her staff.

In April last year, child welfare officials visited the pop star at her Malibu mansion after she was spotted driving with son Sean, then just four months, sitting on her lap. However, she was not charged with any offence.

This all about celebrities. They just married, divorce and involve in claim about their children. Most affected was their children. I feel sorry for their children.

Court: Parents Don’t Need Lawyer to Sue School

By M.S, May 24, 2007

Parents of disabled children won a major victory in the U.S. Supreme Court, as the justices ruled unanimously that parents do not have to hire a lawyer to sue a school district over providing an appropriate education for a child with special needs.The court’s ruling came in the case of Jeff and Sandee Winkelman, whose son, Jacob, is autistic. When he entered pre-school, Jacob’s tantrums were severe enough that the district placed him in a special school for autistic children.

But after two years, Mrs. Winkelman says, there was a changing of the guard, and new school administrators and school board members said Jacob had to attend regular public school.

Under the Disabilities Act, parents are entitled to go to court to enforce the law, but a majority of the courts have required that parents be represented by a lawyer. If parents didn’t have an attorney, their cases were thrown out.

Today, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that parents cannot be shut out of court just because they are representing themselves.

The ruling was a blow to school boards across the country. National School Boards Association General Counsel Francisco Negron says that allowing non-lawyer parents in court will lengthen the process because parents are not legally trained and often are emotional.

Any parent who receives state assistance, such as Foster care or Transitional Employment Assistance will be automatically referred to the Office of Child Support Enforcement for any child support help.
