HOLLYWOOD - Britney Spears has been cleared of all allegations of child abuse in relation to her custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline.
The pop star was under investigation by the Los Angeles County Department of Child and Family Services (DCFS) concerning her parenting of Sean Preston, 23 months, and Jayden James, 11 months, after an anonymous complaint was filed with the authorities in July.
The court files alleged the children had poor dental hygiene and bad eating and sleeping habits, thanks to Spears' parenting skills.
But Spears' lawyer, Laura Wasser, announced on Tuesday that the child abuse claims are no longer an issue in the singer's battle for custody of her two sons.
Wasser says, "It does not appear the county will pursue any action at this time."
Neither party knows the identity of the person who filed the complaint, but Wasser adds, "I'm trying to find out."
Spears and Federline's divorce was finalized in July with both parties agreeing to joint custody of the boys. However, Federline is now seeking full custody following Spears' recent erratic behavior.
