Britney's parents are not happy about her release from the hospital on Wednesday.

They claim that the UCLA Medical Center let Spears go, even though the psychiatrist treating her wanted the fallen pop star to remain hospitalized.

Jamie & Lynne released the following statement late Wednesday evening.

"As parents of an adult child in the throws of a mental health crisis, we were extremely disappointed this morning to learn that over the recommendation of her treating psychiatrist, our daughter Britney was released from the hospital that could best care for her and keep her safe. We are deeply concerned about our daughter's safety and vulnerability and we believe her life is presently at risk. There are conservatorship orders in place created to protect our daughter that are being blatantly disregarded. We ask only that the court's orders be enforced so that a tragedy may be averted."

We agree!

Hopefully Brit's parents can make sure she gets the help she needs.

      I beg you Perez stop this feeding frenzy of coverage. I am so deeply concerned about Britney and I truly feel her life is in danger.

      I am starting to feel partially responsible for her imminent death in the near future because I have been one of those people for so long that gawks and keeps their ears perched to further invade her space.

      There will be plenty of blood-thirsty media outlets to keep the public informed, unfortunately. Please be a true pioneer and allow Britney and her family to go through this privately. Perhaps you can start a spiral effect in the right direction if you stop reporting on her.

      She is nothing but a scared little girl right now … let's respect her vulnerability rather than encroaching upon it.

      I agree with the parents, but do they really need to continue to release public statements about what is really a personal family crisis? Keep your business to yourselves folks. You're just ruining whatever chance (if there is any at all) for Britney to make a comeback when she gets weened off those psycho meds Lufti has her on.

      Get well Britney.

      I can't even imagine how sick and upset her parents feel about this situation. The gold-digger, Adnan (driving around in his brand new fancy car) I'm sure is thrilled that she is out so money can be funneled to him. Even though she is sick, she is incredibly selfish and the world revolves around her. She doesn't care about her kids. If she did she would get much needed help. Instead all she cares about is putting people who don't care about her in charge of her money instead of her family. She is a waste! I wish people would quit following her around and let her disappear.

      This is sad. Why would UCLA go against the wishes of her doctor? What kind of treatmend did Britney receive? How do we know if she got the help she needs? What does this say about our medical system? Is there anyone out there who can bring this issue to a close and get this family some help? Britney will loose everything if she doesn't get help. Why do I even care? It is just sad. She already is alienating herself from her two children. If Adnan has any integrity he will secure her trust in an honorable fashion. So what if he goes back on to one of the TV shows. Maybe he is doing this to call attention to the fact that the State of California appears to be failing this girl. Gov. Arnold needs to step in, reign in the paparazzi, and help put an end to this craziness before someone dies. Also, get the FBI involved. Find a reason to get this woman in a safe place away from the leeches. This is heartbreaking. Britney, you need to calm down. Get well and get an education.

      Britney may not be a danger to herself but she definitely a danger to others. The roads are not safe with her driving around. An innocent person is going to get killed. The paps and crazy Britney are menaces. The hospital screwed up. That crazy bitch needed a full 14 day lock down. Detox from all the pills, alcohol and predators in her life but UCLA wanted their bed back.

      So was cooking for the Superbowl more important than running to the hospital after she called the first time. Jamie shirked his responsibility as a conservator and could have taken the family leave act. OR the Judge would have paid close attention to putting a neutral person in charge knowing how she hates her father.

      Britney's parents are trying to steal her money. And UCLA would only collude for so long.

      She was being falsely imprisoned.

      Brit's needs lawyers to get these scumbag parents out of her life, and a decent doctor that will wean her off all the prescribed PSYCH DRUGS that are making her act nuts.

      This is not mental illness. It's incompentent psychiatrists handing out pills like candy and screwing her head up.

      this is a young, beautiful and talented woman that many of us have grown up with and we (I) really don't want it to result in another Hollyweird tragedy. Like so many others; marilyn monroe, anna nicole and most recently Heath Ledger. Of course their lives are exposed like a storybook and so many of the media moguls profit, even interactive media. at times when i peruse these gossip sites, I wonder what would any of them have to write about if it weren't for Britney. She accounts for almost 80% of their reporting, so she's not misconceiving when she sing "they want a piece of me," because they indeed all do. they would like to sensationalize her life until the tragic end, which be her untimely death. please allow this girl to have some peace and be a little responsible with your reporting of her. no one, not even celebrities should be subjected to this type of torment. just because we are fans and buy an occasional cd (or download tracks illegally) doesn't give us the right to know every damn detail of their lives. if you enjoy the music that you purchase, then that's actually all that we're entitled to. everything else is just a bonus.

      They need to get to court at 7AM in the morning. Bring the judge a Starbucks and get this chick back in the hospital. This is total madness. I thing she will be back in by the weekend, and this only confirms that the parents need a longer reign as conservators. The chick took the pap boyfriend to the fake Streisand attorney for what? If the doctors are saying she is not competent (and it's obvious), why would this sucka go along with her if he were not up to something. Adnan should have called her parents and made her ass stay in her house…if he really cared. She can't be in a relationship and be this fucked up anyway. This is going to end badly if not corrected ASAP.

      Whether she's mentally ill or just a spoiled diva, either way she's going to kill herself if she's not careful. And I don't mean via suicide. One of these days, there's going to be a car accident, or someone is going to accost her in the street, or one of these creeps she's been hanging out with is going to slip her one too many pills. She's impulsive and has horrible judgement. So what can you do? First, Perez, why not take the advice of one of the earlier posters and take the high road? Quit running new video of her. Quit running new photos of her. Simply report what she's up to, and stop feeding into the paparazzi frenzy by using their photos and videos. It's small, but it's a start.

      many of these people who are saying negative things about her probably will never, ever have the opportunity to become the success that she has. ultimately they are all haterz. don't listen to the idiots that are pushing you to the brink, because life, especially your life is worth living.

      "in the throws of a mental crisis"
      it's not "throws", the correct spelling is THROES

      as long as there's money to be made off Britney, the paparazzi will continue covering her until she's dead.
      and then they'll keep on covering her, like Anna Nicole.

BRITNEY HAS NEVER MEANT ANYTHING TO HER PARENTS EXCEPT ONE THING, MONEY. AND THAT IS WHY THIS POOR GIRL IS SELF-DESTRUCTING. THAT PIECE OF SHIT LYNNE HAS BEEN SITTING IN HER MANSION (BOUGHT WITH BRITNEY'S MONEY) IN KENTWOOD ALL THIS TIME MEANWHILE BRITNEY IS ON THE BRINK OF DEATH. BUT NOW THAT SAM LUFTI IS TRYING TO GET BRIT'S MONEY, LOOK WHO FINALLY SHOWS UP!!! THEY ARE BOTH PIECES OF GARBAGE AND THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. BRITNEY NEEDS TO GET INTENSIVE THERAPY, AT LEAST 90 DAYS IN A QUALITY REHAB FACILITY AND IF HER FAMILY WON'T GET THE INTENSIVE THERAPY THEY DESPERATELY NEED, SHE SHOULD SEVER OR SEVERELY LIMIT HER CONTACT WITH THEM ONCE SHE GETS WELL.

      lol, i know you can't do that, but they really need to get Britney OUT of L.A. I mean what the hell does she have to stay there for anyways?? There are gas stations and Starbucks in Louisiana…ALL OVER THE WORLD! And she can still have a career even if she lives away.
      .
      .
      I mean, if she really wants to fuckin see her kids, this isn't good for her. I don't think that the judge is gonna give her custody if she is screwing people whose jobs it is to take sneaky pictures and if she's causing all this DRAMA around her. If she loves the attention more than her children then give up your damn parental rights and enjoy going to gas stations with Adnan. And SHITNAN'S stupid terrorist ass really needs to give up the act. If you REALLY care about Britney then you would be forcing her to get help. Its obvious his dumbass just wants to get paid.
