EXCLUSIVE: Child Protective Services Visits Britney Spears' Home After Abuse Charges
July 1 2010, Published 4:23 a.m. ET
Social workers made a visit to Britney Spears' home as part of an investigation by the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services that the singer abused her two sons, Breaking Celebrity News has learned exclusively.
The blockbuster development comes after Spears' former bodyguard, Fernando Flores, allegedly claimed that the pop star abused her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James last March or April.
Flores told a British tabloid that Britney asked Flores for his belt, and then he says he witnessed her abusing the boys.
Flores didn't get into specifics about any alleged injuries, or if one or both children were targeted.
Now Breaking Celebrity News has learned that a complaint was lodged against Spears, forcing DCFS to investigate.
A Spears family insider tells Breaking Celebrity News, "Social workers visited Britney's house recently about the alleged abuse allegations. Under California law, anytime anyone makes a report to child protective services, a welfare check is required to be made under law to further investigate.
"It doesn't matter who has made the claim, or how outlandish it may seem. During the visit by officials, there was absolutely no signs of abuse. The boys are happy well adjusted toddlers that love their mama and Britney is fiercely protective of them.
"The investigation is 95 percent complete and no further action will be required. All that is essentially going to be done at this point is for the paperwork to be finished and then the case will be closed."
Flores is described to Breaking Celebrity News as "an opportunist seeking his 15 minutes of fame. Flores is a former disgruntled employee that is trying to take advantage of Britney."
Britney and K-Fed were spotted at the boys' pre-school graduation together last week.
The family insider says, "Britney and Kevin parent the children together, and they have developed a very healthy relationship that truly enables the boys to thrive. They are united in parenting the boys and trying to raise them in as normal environment as possible.
