According to those in charge of her care, Britney's at real risk of being kidnapped.
Both the court commissioner in charge of her hearings and her lawyers are saying that there's a very real risk that she might be kidnapped. They're not saying by whom, but it sounds like they have somebody - or somebodies, plural - in mind.
According to E! Online:
News that Spears may be prolonging her stay in the hospital's psych ward, where she has been undergoing a battery of mental evaluations since voluntarily checking into the facility in the early-morning hours Thursday, comes in the wake of confirmation that even if she's allowed to leave the hospital, she won't get far.
E! News has confirmed that during the emergency Friday afternoon hearing, in which the singer's father, Jamie Spears, and attorney Andrew Wallete were appointed temporary coconservatorship over decisions pertaining to the Blackout singer's estate and a restraining order was granted on behalf of Spears against manager-pal Sam Lutfi, court commissioner Reva Goetz said a free Spears had the potential to be either a "flight or kidnapping risk."
While neither Goetz nor attorneys for Spears mentioned in the hearing who they feared posed the possible risk of facilitating either a flight or kidnap situation, the source told E! News the Spears family was taking great precautions to ensure their daughter's safety.
"Britney will now be provided adequate security. She had been convinced in the past to do away with personal security by certain people in her life, and that was very dangerous. It was a possibly deadly situation."
The source also confirmed that the amped-up security measures were particularly in response to the kidnap risk, saying the real danger lay in what may happen if Spears leaves UCLA Medical Center without being in the proper state of mind, adding, "Should she be released too early, hypothetically someone could try to take her away."
Clearly, those close to Britney have somebody in mind as a potential kidnapper. Who might that be? Adnan the lascivious paparazzo? Sam Lufti the manager-cum-burglar? DR. PHIL?
It's like a really, really twisted game of Clue.
