Pop singer Britney Spears will not have her visitation rights to her sons restored after she missed a custody hearing yesterday.
The troubled singer arrived at the courthouse yesterday for the afternoon proceedings but got back into her car and left a short time later without entering the building.
According to reports, Spears said: "I'm scared. I want to get in the car. I'm going in the car," after she was met by paparazzi when she arrived at the courthouse.
Police reportedly tried to coax the singer to get back out of her car later but she shouted "No", before leaving the scene.
A court spokesperson later said that Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline, who testified yesterday, would retain sole legal and physical custody of the two boys "indefinitely".
Federline's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, said: "The word victory is not something Mr Federline or his counsel would ascribe to this situation."
He continued: "His hope is that he will be able to parent the children at some point in the future with participation from the mother."
