Britney Spear’s Parents Shocked At Hospital Release

Britney Spears’ parents expressed shock that their daughter was released from a Los Angeles psychiatric hospital on Wednesday, against the recommendation of her treating psychiatrist.

The Associated Press reports that Spears’ father, Jamie, who was named as his daughter’s conservator on Monday, was also against the release, and in a joint statement released Wednesday with ex-wife Lynne Spears, the couple said they were “extremely disappointed” to learn that their 26-year-old daughter had been allowed out. Britney had been placed under a 14-day hold at the hospital, under which she could not be released unless she legally demanded it or her doctor deemed her ready for outpatient treatment.

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