Mike Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Tuesday, February 7, 2006 · Last updated 2:19 p.m. PT Britney Spears defends driving photos THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES -- Blame it on love and the paparazzi. That's Britney Spears' explanation for why she was driving with her infant son on her lap rather than in his car seat. Several photos published Tuesday showed Spears driving her SUV with her son, Sean Preston, perched on her lap rather than strapped into a car seat in the back seat. Spears said she did it because of a "horrifying, frightful encounter with the paparazzi." The photos show Spears holding the wheel of the car with one hand, and her 4-month-old baby in the other. A person is shown sitting in the passenger seat next to Spears. "I was terrified that this time the physically aggressive paparazzi would put both me and my baby in danger," Spears said in a statement released late Monday. "I instinctively took measures to get my baby and me out of harm's way, but the paparazzi continued to stalk us," she said. "I love my child and would do anything to protect him." The photos may have captured the attention of the county Department of Children and Family Services, though a spokesman for the agency declined to offer any specifics about the Spears incident. "We don't say who, what or if we're investigating," department spokesman Stu Riskin said. Sheriff's deputies, meanwhile, won't be pressing any charges, Deputy Luis Castro said. "Unless a deputy saw the violation, there's nothing we can do," Castro said. "We don't even know if this took place in our jurisdiction." The agency that snapped the photos, X17, said the pictures were taken "in a very peaceful context, in which photographers exhibited no aggressive behavior." "We believe that the pictures speak for themselves," the agency said in a statement. Spears gave birth to her son in September. He is her first child with husband of one year, former backup dancer Kevin Federline. Yes, cuz she was "protecting" her baby driving with him on her lap. Ok, whatever Britney, cuz I'm sure you would admit it if you just did a stupid thing. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otokichi Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Some new parents think their children are more advanced than others, but teaching junior how to drive at this age is stretching the envelope a tad too far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvish Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 I saw the pics. She doesn't look scared. Plus, she could have handed the kiddo off to her bodyguard at any point and he could have buckled in the child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daslied Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Apparently more people are killed in photography accidents than auto accidents every year. What a complete idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
