Parents say they fear a 'tragedy' may occur

Britney Spears' parents have said that they fear their daughter may die soon, and that they believe she should not have been released from a medical centre yet.

The star left the UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles recently, one week earlier than had initially been expected.

In a statement, Jamie and Lynne Spears said they were “extremely disappointed” that their daughter had been released.

They added: “We are deeply concerned about our daughter's safety and vulnerability and we believe her life is presently at risk. We ask only that the court's orders be enforced so that a tragedy may be averted.”

Spears is currently under the temporary conservatorship of her father until February 14 – a measure put in when an individual in the USA is deemed no longer able to take care of themselves.

It's good to see that such responsible parents still exist in this fame-hungry world in which families are still exploiting their children for vast monetary gains. Good on Mr. and Mrs. Spears!
