The fans want her back more than ever because undoubtedly she is the freshest voice of our time but without her ready to protect herself like her family and friends even Britney´s fans cannot help her.

Britney Spears has been denied visitation right for a month after she failed to attend the court. The legal experts reportedly were of the opinion that it was not mandatory for Britney to attend the hearing but it would have been better if she did, especially when she was stopped outside court premises.

A panel of guest on Larry King Live aired there apprehensions about Britney deteriorating state. The panel including Insiders Pat O´ Brien agreed that Britney is a sick. She needs help not criticism.

There is a growing consensus that Britney should not be put in a fish bowl that could hurt Britney´s battle to keep her children who may end up losing their mother. The media should leave her alone for sometime because she is under duress and distress and media frenzy is making matters worse for her. Some critics however believe that she likes chaos and that she is doing this to grab attention. Her court no-show failure is a case in point.

It is opined that Britney deserves people´s sympathy not sarcasm. She needs to stop and to go through the medical process to avoid fate of celebrities like Diana, Anna Nicole Smith who if not pushed over the edge, were haunted to the precipice by the media in their California gold rush to secure business.

The court should appoint a special attorney or a guardian angel to protect and take care of the children until amicable solution of the custody battle.

Dr. Phil has a lot of information on the issue because he has been associated with the family for a long time. The spinning of Britney´s family´s attempt to seek his help by the media is an unfortunate development. The raising of issue of Dr. Phil´s practicing permission in California license and making him a scapegoat by the media is a step in wrong direction because Britney is still in distress. The media could have helped put to use available expertise including immense experience of Dr. Phil to save Britney and reunite the family.

Britney has already lost her husband and career. Her 2007 comeback attempt has also failed. Now it is her children. America must intervene to save her from turning into a desperate woman who like the past examples could end her life. According to the opinion of a psychologist women turn desperate once they decide to end their life and Britney is in distress. Her addiction, walking out of intervention programs and bi-polar disorder including adoption of boyfriend´s British accent are cases in point.

Britney´s position at the moment is precarious and words cannot unveil the true severity of the situation. It is therefore the responsibility of the community, media and experts like Dr. Phil to help Britney her family and husband find a way forward so that the Britney boys get to lead a normal life in which there are parents and grandparents also.

Lastly, Britney must pay head to the expert warnings to regain her life. She must recognize the severity of her problem to understand the complexity of her situation to allow the experts to help her return to normal life. The fans want her back more than ever because undoubtedly she is the freshest voice of our time but without her ready to protect herself like her family and friends even Britney´s fans cannot help her.
