Britney Spears - Son, Heading For Trouble

Britney Spears' son, Sean Preston, has suffered a suspected fractured skull after falling from his high chair.

The injury reportedly occurred at the beginning of the month and although a doctor gave him the all-clear at the time, nearly a week later Britney decided to take him for a second opinion after he become "tearful and groggy".

Due to the nature of the injury, medical officials were obliged to report it and Britney and her husband Kevin Federline have since been quizzed by the Los Angeles child welfare department.

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

However, the Spears family lawyer told People magazine: "While there was an automatic report by the hospital to the Department of Children and Family Services, DCFS immediately responded and determined there was no problem and no reason to open a formal investigation.

They determined that the parents were not involved in any injury and that nothing improper was done within the home".

It is not the first time Britney's parenting skills have been questioned by the media: earlier in the year she had her knuckles rapped after being photographed driving with Sean Preston on her lap.
