    Sorry if this offends, but the only thing that comes to mind is: You can take the girl out of the trailer park but you can't take the trailer park out of the girl.

    EXCLUSIVE Singer and hubby quizzed over baby's injury By Ryan Parry, Us Correspondent

    BRITNEY Spears and her husband are being quizzed after their baby son suffered a suspected fractured skull.

    Six-month-old Sean smashed his head falling to the ground from his high chair. His injury emerged when Britney, 24, took him to a doctor six days later after he became groggy and tearful.

    Suspicious medical officials filed a complaint to the Los Angeles child welfare department and the couple were questioned by investigators who were escorted by police.

    Britney and husband Kevin Federline, 28, have been accused of poor parenting before. If found guilty of ill treatment or neglect they could receive a warning - or even lose their baby.

    BRITNEY Spears' husband is being grilled by sheriffs as the couple's baby son battles a suspected fractured skull.

    Kevin Federline, 28, and Britney, 24, are being investigated after anxious doctors filed an official complaint on six-month-old Sean, who hit his head toppling from a high chair.

    It is not known if they were present at the time. But social services officials escorted by police were worried enough to quiz the couple, who have been accused of poor parenting several times before.

    In February Britney was questioned by police after being pictured driving with Sean on her lap.

    Now she and Kevin face a severe warning, or even the possibility of losing their child, if they are found guilty of ill treatment or neglect.

    Confirming the investigation, Sergeant Ken Scheurn of Los Angeles County Sheriff's Lost Hills Division said yesterday: "Deputies from this division carried out escort duties for the Department of Child Services to Britney Spears' home."

    According to the official complaint seen by the Mirror Sean fell from his high-chair, banging his head hard on the floor, while eating at the family home on April 1.

    Sean's nanny is believed to have been in the room. It is unclear where Britney and Kevin were.

    Although Sean stayed conscious, the couple called a doctor who gave the tot the all clear.

    It seemed the panic was over - then days later Britney and Kevin were plunged into fresh agonies over the health of their baby. Alarm bells rang when Britney noticed that Sean was sleeping longer than usual.

    When he woke he was groggy, not himself and crying more than usual.

    Over the next days the pop princess and Kevin watched alarmed as Sean failed to improve.

    Finally, on April 7, they took him to respected paediatrician Dr Marna Geisler at the UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles. Dr Geisler examined Sean and carried out a three-dimensional X-ray of his skull.

    Soon afterwards the couple were told the scan indicated severe head trauma, possibly a fracture.

    The next day concerned Center officials filed a report on the injury to the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services.

    The department must investigate all suspicious injuries to children.

    Later that day CFS officials escorted by police quizzed the couple. Sources say Britney and Kevin co-operated.

    Yesterday the department and medical centre refused to comment.

    After being caught driving with Sean on her lap, Britney grudgingly admitted: "I made a mistake."

    She claimed she was fleeing from photographers. Under Californian law, the baby should have been strapped in the back seat.

    In March Britney shocked diners at a Los Angeles restaurant by changing her baby's full nappy on a table. Pot-smoking Kevin has also been criticised for going out partying after Sean was born.

    The couple have endured marriage troubles in recent months with several reported bust-ups inside their luxury home.

    when Britney, 24, took him to a doctor six days later after he became groggy and tearful.(end quote.)

    My son tripped and fell down the basement steps when he was 2, and it took only two hours before he was whiney and crying....we took him to hospital, and he suddenly blacked out cold. We had to take him to the hospital in the city....4 hours later a specialist was finally able to wake him up.I was scared sh%$less....

    I can't believe it took Bratney 6 days......these rich, spoiled brats who have their babies and leave them in the care of nannies....they wouldn't know the first thing about raising a child!!!

    Wow, what a difference news sources make. The story I heard on ABC was very different from the one in the first message, and the one on CNN (which I find a more credible news source than The Mirror) does not mention a fractured skull, and points out that a doctor examined the baby in person at their home the day of the accident. I'm not defending Britney or her husband, they are total low lifes, but I think this is a good example of how we have to watch our news sources. Here's the CNN story:

    MALIBU, California (AP) -- Child welfare officials and a sheriff's deputy visited Britney Spears' home in California because her infant son was accidentally dropped from a high chair, People Magazine and the Los Angeles Times reported.

    Six-month-old Sean Preston fell April 1 as his nanny was lifting him from the high chair and something in the chair snapped, Star magazine reported Tuesday. The infant slipped from her arms and fell, bruising his head on the floor, the magazine said.

    People magazine and the Los Angeles Times also reported the incident on Wednesday.

    Though a doctor examined the baby at the house, Spears and husband Kevin Federline took the baby to the emergency room to have him examined six days later, the report said.

    Spears' attorney, Martin Singer, said in a statement that the hospital made a report to the Department of Children and Family Services as required by state law.

    "DCFS immediately responded and determined there was no problem and no reason to open a formal investigation. They determined that the parents weren't involved in the injury and nothing was improper within the home," he said.

    The Los Angeles DCFS and the Lost Hills sheriff's station declined to give details of Saturday's visit, and would not say if there was an ongoing investigation. DCFS public-affairs director Louise Grasmehr didn't return a phone message left Tuesday at her Los Angeles office. The department routinely refuses to discuss cases, citing confidentiality laws.

    "It's a very standard, routine patrol request," Lt. Debra Glaskides said Tuesday. "We just roll out with them. We stood by, we took no action, no report or anything."

    In February, DCFS visited Spears' home after publication of photographs showing the 24-year-old singer driving with then 4-month-old Sean Preston in her lap, rather than in a car seat as required by law.

    Spears later apologized, saying she did it because of a "horrifying, frightful encounter with the paparazzi."
