Britney children case dropped - Sep 6 2007
The reported child abuse investigation into Britney Spears has apparently been dropped.
The 25-year-old pop star, who is rumoured to be making her comeback at the MTV Video Music Awards in Las Vegas, was being probed for alleged abuse and neglect of her two sons Sean Preston and Jayden James, according to the Daily Mirror.
But her lawyer Laura Wasser told the LA Superior Court on Tuesday: "It does not appear the county will pursue further action at this time."
The troubled singer was facing "child endangerment" allegations about dental hygiene and poor eating and sleeping habits for her children.
But the charges did not involve any physical mistreatment of the boys.
The star is currently in the midst of a custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline.
In April last year, child welfare officials visited the star’s Malibu mansion after she was spotted driving with Sean, then just four months, sitting on her lap.

And the paper has obtained a copy of the demo track, containing the words:
"Everyday I’m in a daze, looking for that someone
And everyday, I sit and kneel and pray
Oh, sweet love, can I get some?
So why do you desert me, baby boy?
I need your love right now!"
The song ends with Britney singing:
"So why did you desert me, baby boy?
I thought that you, you were the one.
So if you preferred the other one
She won’t bring you the sun."

During the early years of her career Britney made millions thanks to merchandising deals and successful hits. But she faced controversy throughout with rumours of plastic surgery and feuds with other stars. Her third album, which saw her take a sexier and more adult turn, was a relative disappointment while her critically panned but box office friendly debut movie Crossroads was a fleeting highlight. Meanwhile her long relationship with Justin Timberlake came to an end in 2002 amid claims that her reputation as a virgin was false and in fact that she had cheated on the N*Sync star?Britney responded by sharing a kiss with idol Madonna on stage at the MTV Awards ? an act which saw the pair criticized more than admired.
The kiss signaled the end of Britney?s pop-childhood and with the release of In The Zone and the hit single Toxic she began building a new fanbase. A drunken Las Vegas wedding to childhood friend Jason Alexander ended in annulment after just fifty five hours but, rather than concentrate on her career, Britney continued leaning on the lovelife self destruct button. She, despite advice to the contrary, married dancer, aspiring rapper and all round rat-faced bad boy Kevin Federline in a trailer trash wedding in 2004 and within months announced she was pregnant.
Having given birth to son, Sean Preston, Britney seems to have put her career on hold despite the success of a greatest hits album and the launch of her fragrance, Curious. Meanwhile rumours persist about the state of her marriage to Federline with the press accusing him of taking no interest in his wife and son and of cheating on the singing star.
