    Spears' parents: daughter 'at risk'

    Strange behavior...I wonder what kind of drugs she is on?

    LOS ANGELES --Why was she released? That's the lingering question after Britney Spears was discharged from the hospital Wednesday over the recommendation of her treating psychiatrist and against the wishes of her father, who has been named as her conservator.

    Jamie and Lynne Spears, in a joint statement given to The Associated Press through their attorney, said they were "extremely disappointed" to learn their daughter had been allowed out.

    "We are deeply concerned about our daughter's safety and vulnerability and we believe her life is presently at risk," the statement said. "We ask only that the court's orders be enforced so that a tragedy may be averted."

    Jamie Spears on Monday was named conservator of his 26-year-old daughter, and he and attorney Andrew Wallet were made co-conservators of Britney's estate.

    A conservatorship is created when a court determines a person can no longer care for his or her own affairs.

    Though she arrived at UCLA Medical Center escorted by a caravan of police motorcycles, cars and a helicopter, the singer left without media attention. She spent the day dodging the spotlight as she drove around Los Angeles in a black Mercedes-Benz with an unidentified man.

    But photographers soon found her and surrounded the vehicle at each stop. When Spears' car arrived at the Beverly Hills Hotel, a detail of officers was sent to "keep the peace," police Sgt. Mark Miner said. He said it's common for such details to respond to reports of paparazzi causing a nuisance.

    Spears' release came after a series of legal developments in which her father fought for control of the pop star and her estate, her frequent companion was ordered to stay away from her, and her mother vividly described her daughter's fragile state, drug use and the strange behavior that led to her hospitalization.

    The troubled singer was hospitalized on Jan. 31. On Monday, Commissioner Reva Goetz ruled that Spears must remain in the conservatorship until at least Feb. 14. Goetz also appointed a physician to evaluate Spears' condition.

    On Friday, a court issued a restraining order against Sam Lufti, the man who's been at Spears' side in recent months. Her mother portrayed him as a Svengali-like figure who held her daughter hostage in her own home, drugged her, took over her finances and controlled the paparazzi who constantly surround her.

    As her conservator, Spears' father was granted access to all of his daughter's medical records and authority to determine where Spears lives and who she sees.

    Spears, who is in a child custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline, was also briefly hospitalized earlier in January after police were called to her home when she refused to return her sons to a Federline bodyguard after a visit.

    Spears has since lost all visitation rights to her sons, 1-year-old Jayden James and 2-year-old Sean Preston.

    On Wednesday, Buck said a grand theft report was filed with the Los Angeles Police Department, alleging that someone took "miscellaneous items," including a painting and jewelry, from Spears' home. Buck didn't say who filed the report or when

    She'll be dead before the summer...and quite frankly-it's her own fault. What a freakshow.

    I used to like this girl. met her like 7 years ago. seemed nice and upbeat and a little crazy but like kid crazy, not mental crazy. Makes me sad.

    I don't want to hear any more about her. I'm worried that the more I hear about her, the more likely she is to ending up dead.

    I fear that she's being secluded in her own media world, and becoming a product of weirdness from living in that. Not unlike what I suspect allowed Michael Jackson to become Michael Jackson.

    And I hope she doesn't end up dead, but I fear that it's almost inevitable.

    I had someone close to me that was in UCLA NPI (NeuroPsychiatric Institute), and it helped them immensely in getting their medication levels in order through the controlled environment there. They do excellent research and definitely do great things there for their patients in their wards.

    I'm sorry to see that Britney doesn't want the help she needs there, as it is an excellent hospital for the care she needs.
    I think over again
    My small adventures, my fears.
    The small ones that seemed so big,
    For all the vital things I had to get and to reach.

    And yet there is only one great thing, the only thing:

    To live to see the great day that dawns,
    And the light that fills the world.
