I figure that these two articles are related.

Britney tot's broken skull

http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2006160831,00.html

Worried Britney, 24, rushed him to hospital when she noticed Sean seemed ill and was sleeping more than usual

What the f*ck kind of parent is she?!?!?!?!?!
 
according to the NEWS...
the baby fell while in the nanny's care...and was taken to the hospital for treatment...
it is standard to send child services to visit anytime an infant or toddler suffers a serious injury...so someone paid a visit a few days after the hospital visit...

that is the story...

in case anyone is interested in anything other than idle gossip...
:flower:
 
i think it's fractured skull and SPF fell from his high chair. this is according to the magazine star. i don't know how true it is but i know those weekly celebrity gossip magazines can be extremely misleading.

where's your source?
WNBC network television ...and it is corrroborated by the article in the sun which you posted....
it says 'minor fracture' and it says
Seven-month-old Sean hit his head after tumbling from a high chair while with a nanny in the singer’s kitchen in Malibu, California.
Worried Britney, 24, rushed him to hospital when she noticed Sean seemed ill and was sleeping more than usual.
Police later made a routine call at her home because the tot had been to hospital and she told officers what had happened.
Britney was also questioned by the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services, who are always alerted when a child is taken to hospital.
i just hope the baby's going to be ok...:(

Britney Spears's six-month-old son, Sean Preston, fell and hit his head on Saturday, April 1, at the Malibu home the pop star shares with husband Kevin Federline, a source close to Spears tells PEOPLE.

While the baby's nanny was lifting him from his high chair, something snapped in the chair and Sean Preston slipped from her arms and fell to the floor, bruising his head.

A doctor came to the house that day and examined the child; he seemed fine.

But six days later, Spears and Federline became concerned and took Sean Preston to the hospital emergency room to have him checked out, the source adds. No serious problems were found.

Spears, Federline and their son are back home and doing fine now, a second source tells PEOPLE.

After the hospital visit, child welfare officials visited Spears's home accompanied by a sheriff's deputy.

"The Department of Children and Family Services called us on Saturday (April 8) and asked us to accompany them to the home of Mrs. Spears for their visit," Los Angeles County Sheriff's spokeswoman Lt. Debra Glafkides tells PEOPLE. "It's very routine and common for us to accompany them."

According to Glafkides, the visit lasted about half an hour and no police report was filed.

The Sheriff's Department could not release any further information, and the Department of Children and Family Services generally does not comment on cases due to confidentiality laws.

"While there was an automatic report by the hospital to the Department of Children and Family Services, DCFS immediately responded and determined there was no problem and no reason to open a formal investigation," Spears's attorney Marty Singer tells PEOPLE. "They determined that the parents were not involved in any injury and that nothing improper was done within the home."

I dunno, seems like she's doing all she can....it's a good thing she was monitoring Sean after his head injury.
 
I'm going to be judgemental and wonder why they have a nanny when they have one child and Kevin doesn't work. Though to be fair, if it were my baby, and I was the breadwinner, I'd rather have a nanny in charge than K-Fed.

I was all over Britney for the car driving incident, but if the report that they had a doctor out that day is true, I feel badly for her and don't think she did anything wrong. I've taken care of a lot of babies and babies are extremely wriggly, they fall, they throw themselves backwards, they're all over the place every second, faster than you can imagine. Even the most protective, careful, watchful mother (or nanny) is going to have an experience where the child falls/stands up under something/gets fingers horribly caught. It's a shame it was so severe, and I hope there's no lasting damage, but unlike the driving incident, I don't think it's necessarily a sign of being a bad mother.

Bringing the baby to the hospital days later doesn't seem like good parenting to me.

Maybe they were pre-occupied making lousy records and smoking pot while being deliciously white trash .
 
:lol:

I'd agree with you if they did nothing until days later, and then rushed to the hospital. But it looks like they had a doctor out right away, and were told everything was fine. Unfortunately most people have a very sad "doctors can do no wrong and know everything" mindset, and it gets them (and their kids) in big trouble. I'm just glad they were cognizant enough to eventually realize, hey, maybe everything isn't fine. Most people never do, and then when their loved one dies, they're all horrified that doctors aren't gods.
 
I feel sorry in a way for the nany she must feel so guilty .. i know i would if i was her.IM sure she didnt mean to drop him .. i hope anyways
 
I don't like Britney at all...
but I really do feel for her.
Every mom makes mistakes but could you imagine if everyone of your mistakes was in UsWeekly, People, etc?
 
how unfortunate for britney's baby. i hope he's recovering okay although it sounds like a horribly accidental fall.
i have a 2yr old and 5mth old-all it takes is for me to turn my back for two seconds and something as dreadful can happen. i don't even want to think about it.
 
oh the poor kiddie, i hope he's okay. being a first time mother in itself is so overwhelming but to find out your baby's head is fractured must be terrifying.

Exactly, she's a first time mother, and lets face it, there's no book that tells you how to parent.

Nobody knows the exact circumstances and its just another example of an issue becoming public and been blown up because of 'celebrity'.
Thank goodness the child welfare services do make routine investigations with regards to things like this, that means they are doing there job properly.

I posted this in the other Britney thread, but I'll repost it here again:

I don't understand why everything is always put on the mother's shoulders. Is it not also the father's fault? Why is there so much pressure on the mother to be a good parent but not the father. I find it a bit sexist, like all child rearing activities are the responsibility of the mother.

Why don't people go "Kevin is a bad father", why is only Britney supposedly responsible for watching him? I really don't believe that women should be the prime caretakers anymore. It should be exactly 50/50.

It seems like people are always saying : so and so is not a good mother, like that's the ultimate sin. When in a way I feel that's really backwards thinking, like all the mother's life is supposed to revolve around the baby or something, but nothing is ever said about the father.

It feels like people think that it's woman's role to take care of the kids/babes and that if her life doesn't revolve around it she's a bad mother or something. God forbid she hires a nanny or doesn't feel like feeding her baby but having the nanny feed him... stuff like that.

Or God forbid if her life doesn't revolve around the baby and she has a life of her own. I feel like a lot of people think that being a mother is the ultimate goal for a woman and that it's so "sacred" in some way that that if she does the slightest thing wrong she'll get judged harshly.

I don't think that childrearing is the woman's job, it needs to be shared equally.

Also about the nanny thing, I don't think there's anything wrong with hiring a nanny and even if the parents are wealthy enough to stay home. If you can afford help, why break your back doing it yourself?

^b/c we've basically only seen pictures of Britney with the baby... and b/c K-fed has about 4 other kids that he probably isn't with either:blush:
 
This whole situation is sad, it used to be a dark comedy, but now it's just a disgusting mess.
 
But you also gotta realize that Britney may not have been there when the baby fell. The baby was with the nanny and if the nanny didn't say anything who would know? All the kid can do is cry and sleep. At least she noticed that he slept more than usual and rushed him to the hospital.
As someone said before, Britney is a first-time mother and to be honest, I think she loves her baby to death unlike the father....
