I don't think these people are making this up for money. I think Britney is digging her own grave.

MALIBU MEDIA
Britney Spears' former bodyguard Tony Barretto is at it again. Usmagazine.com has learned via a statement released by Barretto's lawyer, Gloria Allred, that he has filed a "Child Abuse Referral" against his old employer.
The referral gives the Department of Child and Family Services the legal power to investigate Spears' care of sons Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1. According to Barretto and Allred, the DCFS has said that they will look into the matter.
"I call on Britney Spears to cooperate with the investigation of Children and Family Services," Allred said in her statement. "As part of their investigation they will want to interview her. Rather than avoiding them she should speak with them as soon as possible and give them the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so that they can fulfill their legal mandate to protect the children and keep them safe."
This is not the first referral that has been filed regarding Spears with the DCFS. She has been investigated and cleared three times in the past two years, for driving with Sean Preston in her lap, not preventing Sean from falling out of his high chair, and contributing to the poor dental hygiene and bad eating and sleeping habits of both of her sons.
Barretto was touted as a "mystery witness" by Gloria Allred before going public on September 17, when he filed a declaration to the court claiming Spears had used drugs and alcohol while caring for her children earlier this year.
Since then, Barretto has been on a media tour touting his concern for Spears' children as his motive for coming forward with information about the pop-mom's erratic behavior.

I think this guy is lookin' for some money just like her ex. I think she's a good mother. I think she'll be a better mother with some help after she gets herself straight. I think she has alot of pressure on her and he is just steppin' in to say what some people want to hear about her. So people need to give her a 2nd chance and I think soon she'll be back to the old Britney!
FREAKING HOLLYWOOK; LISTEN UP
GET A LIFE. A REAL ONE. YOU DIE SOON??
YOU ARE NO DIFFERENT THAN ANYONE ELSE SO WHY DOES IT ALL HAPPEN IN CALI FIRST.?
GROW UP!!!
I reported my mother in law and the three children she has custody of for the sexual molestation my 3 year old daughter and my 5 year old son in the state of California and the DA decided that there was not enough proof to prosecute them but DCFS decided that there was enough to file charges against ME for failure to protect my children on the day that their father had his scheduled visitation and I was at school. I would NEVER in my life report ANYTHING again. I had to spend 16 hours a week in some sort of therapy. The sexual abuse class that DCFS forces you to take makes you sit in a room with predators while they they discuss how they didn't do anything wrong. Thank GOD that DCFS stepped up to the plate and actually took these poor children away from the "BAD PARENT" instead of punishing the good one (in this case the not as bad parent). In my case the situation forced me to take a look at my situation and better it and of course the judge found the charges unwarranted and after 9 months of hell finally threw the case out!!!
I really do not care anymore about Britney Spears. I am sure there are more people that agree. She needs mental help from a REAL doctor. She needs to get out of the public eye and take care of herself. No one really cares for her anymore. She has gone from one thing to another. If she would recieve help and stay gone from the public. Then I am positive that she would have her BIG come back. But she would have to totally change herself. I do believe that she is a LOST soul, trying to find herself again. She needs help desperately. I know that she needs to find "GOD"!! GOD is the only one that can seriously help her and make her who she needs to be. So she can get her little ones back. And for her own piece of mind.
Okay, the person on my nerves the most in this whole "former bodyguard concerned for the Britney's kids" situation is the worst, most pathetic, media exhibitionist there ever was, Gloria Allred.
Think about it...in the past 10 years, this witch has been involved in or at least tried to get involved in almost every major U.S. celebrity court drama there is/was.
O.J. Simpson trial...she represented Nicole Brown Simpson's family.
Scott Peterson case...she somehow snaked her way in with Amber Frey.
Kobe Bryant case...she unsuccessfully tried to get involved with the alleged rape victim of that case but had to settle for being a commentator. That still got her mug on t.v. though.
Michael Jackson case...she very publicly wrote a letter to CA's CPS to get his children taken away.
There are many other examples of her shameless attempts at grabbing publicity. Much too many to name.
She might do some good for people. But for the most part she is coming off as the type of lawyer that chases ambulances. Except in her case, it's celebrities.
Okay seriously, when Sean Preston fell out of his high chair, he was in the care of a nanny. Britney and Kevin weren't even THERE. THat was an accident, and they weren't a part of it. So it shouldn't be included as proof of "child abuse." That's absurd.
HE'S GETTN PAID TO SAY THAT JUST SO PPL CAN HAVE A STORY TO TALK ABOUT AND PUT BRIT DOWN JUST LET HER HAVE HER LIFE DAYUM
As for 11:23 Anon--good for you. You made an anonymous call to report an abuser. That's fantastic, however, it's a far cry from reporting your boss. Look at all the crap people post anonymously on the internet. Anonymous is easy. But, you, who read confrontation as a sign of hysterics--I don't believe for one hot seconds you would have the guts to take a stand when its a boss or someone you know, not when you were freaked when all I did was call for a 'show of hands'.
ppl needa effin get a life and git the fcuk outta britneys. na meaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan
Amanda, yes alot of people do think he should have said something earlier. I just don't believe that they would have had the guts to call the cops if it were them, in their job, with their boss. And sorry to be the bearer of bad news, if you report your boss to the cops for committing a crime, don't expect to come back to the office the next day--even if its true--you will not be welcome.
Why do people insist on defending this obviously mental case of a mother? She is an adult. She is making her own decisions and from those decisions..she is suffering the consequences. She is having a come apart becaus she's not use to hearing the words "NO!" People are finally willing to repeatedly tell her NO after seeing her erratic behavior. Have you ever heard "What goes around comes around"? She is definately reaping what she has sown. Why do the general public insist on keeping the ungrateful "STARS" in the spotlight? I wish Hollywood woud just tell them buh bye!! I'm sick of these ungrateful crazies! stop buying the crap they put out.
this fatty needs to back the f**k off and leave the poor girl alone
To Cookie:
Apparently a lot of people are saying that he should have done something sooner. Regarding your comment about getting fired for telling on your boss; If it's true that they are abusive, then why would you get fired for protecting their children?
Why are you getting so angry with people who are making a good point? We are not hypocrites.

Cooki! Take a valium, a xanax, something before you give yourself a stroke - calm down! I will submit to your "poll" - I saw a woman smacking her kid and calling him stupid and an idiot - he couldn't have been anymore than five years-old. I called the cops immediately and reported her and, she got arrested. I don't care WHO it is, boss or not - if I see a child being mistreated, I will intervene in order to protect the kid. Still wanna call me a hypocrite?
The only reason this guy is doing this is because he wants some attention. First of all if I saw my employer abusing their child I would say something. There are a lot of ways to make money in this world even if I could'nt keep my old profession. It would be totally worth it to know that I have done a good deed. But this guy is a shmuck. In the New York Daily News he gave info that Britney would get undressed infront him and her children. The whole story fell on deaf ears and the next day a reporter for the same publication defended her and said it wasn't a big deal. That ticked him off. He thought people would be standing around him asking, "What else did she do?" That didn't happen. He's looking for fame and willing to exagerate at any cost. I think she used drugs but I don't think she's extremely unfit. I think she needs help but if child services didn't see a problem nor did her own mother then I don't think it's that bad. And if it was that big of deal why didn't he call her mom, dad, sister, brother, kevin, cousin alli or whoever she is. He just took it all in stride. I hope she gets her kids back and does right by them and then Kevin and this idiot can have each other. STAY STRONG BRITNEY!
This lying sack of sh!t needs to move his fat a$$ out of this country and take All Red with him.
he needs to shut the fvck up...
he needs to get a life and mind his own family business...
surely his children are missing out on having their father around as long as he's all up Brit's @ss...
MYOB! and STFU!
TO THOSE OF YOU CRYING: "Why didn't he do it sooner!" A poll: How many would call the cops on your employer--today--if you saw him or her neglecting his/her child or using drugs??? Raise your hands now. Tell me, you're gonna get fired, are you still going to do it, or are you gonna sit around and think about it until someone convinces you you should do it. I bet under 10% of the population has the balls to risk their job and reputation and call the cops. Those of you who are crying about him not coming forward sooner are a bunch of HYPOCRITES!!
this guys an idiot, all he wants his 5 minutes of fame, i'm sure he cares abou the kids but why didnt he do it sooner. and the lawyer is no help, she also wnats her 5 minutes of fame. Kevin has the kids, so lets just leave britney alone
I agree shut up and go away now. If you were really concerned you would have called the police back when you were working for her. It's obvious he's being pressured into this.
DCFS will surely make her comply with a drug test and hopefully a psychological exam. If she doesn't, they can also take her to court to make her comply with that (and many other conditions). If not, it won't matter what the family court judge says if she doesn't comply with the DCFS conditions as well. They can keep the kids away permanently if she fails to comply. Her behavior is erratic and indicative of drug abuse. Her failure to schedule/comply with her drug testing indicates she is dirty and would fail the test. She is a 25 year old MOTHER and needs to act like it. Only time will tell whether or not this bodyguard is telling the truth. I guess if this washed-up has been so-called "idol" is this "great person" and a "wonderful mother" as you all claim, DCFS will determine that as well. I tend to lean towards NOT!
While no fan of this very stupid girl, this dude, if he was so concerned, could have filed the complaint earlier. What if one of those kids ended up six feet under before this? Gloria Allred - the kind of attorney that gives all attornies a bad name and the kind of woman who gives all women a bad name.
I don't know, this guy seems to want what's best. But I don't think he cares that much or why didn't he do something the second he saw this, why now? Gloria Allred is pushing this, maybe that's why Britney is in hotels right now. And Kevin already has custody, little late for all this. He can shut up and go away now.
10:10 Anon--you are better and braver than most people out there. We can hope that people report abuse & neglect right when they see it happen, but is that true? Do all honest people with only the best of intentions do that? No, they don't. That's the reality of life. But it doesn't mean they aren't telling the truth or that they don't care about the well fare of children.
Anon 9:52-Like April said, what if he is telling the truth???? THE WORLD IS NOT BLACK & WHITE FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE--he can be in it for the $$$ WHILE AT THE SAME TIME Brit is an unfit mother and drug addict. Also, you seem to be forgetting that a judge did take her kids away from her and I'm sure he's smart enough to see through a phony story by some schmo. Bottom line, this bodyguard is not the only person out there saying these things about Britney so it is unlikely that EVERYBODY is out to get her--regardless of what's 'in it' for the bodyguard.
My problem is why did he wait so long. I worked in placed where I see things that happen and I report it right then. I cannot go to sleep at night knowing someone is doing something unethical or miss treating kids. I have to sleep at nighttime.
He is out for money. I wonder how much he's getting.
All this guys is out for is money . Plain and simple . She has been investigated time after time for child abuse claims and has always been cleared . His Lawyer is always in the media spot light and that is where she also wants to be . If he saw this all before he should have done something about it . He claims he did but why was nothing said about it before . Bottom line he worked for her for 2 months got fired and is out for revenge . He can claim all he wants that it is not about that but buddy nice try .
You are going and talking to every talk show possible out there and that means money !!!!!!!!!!!!!.. You were a nobody before this so where did you get the money to afford Gloria Allad as your lawyer . You say you care for Britney and want her to get help but hmmmmmmmm every time you talk on some show the story about her gets more and more worse . You are only in it for the money just K-Fed is . She does need help but your help is not what I would want if I was in Britney shoes .

time to sue this bugger
all in due time....if he's lying, i'm sure Brit will sue him eventually....
If he's telling the truth does it really matter what his motivations were for coming forward?
