According to US Weekly, Britney’s bodyguard, that earlier this past week told about her possible “almost” overdose just days after getting out of rehab and seems to be delivering more and more news about the pop star lately, has now told the mag that he feared for Britney’s kids. Tony Barretto feared that Britney was going to hurt her own children somehow.

“There was a time when I thought she was going to hurt the kids,” Barretto says, referring to Spears’ two young sons, Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1.

Barretto says at one point he and another member of the singer’s security team became concerned that Spears was “shutting down” like she had during her now-infamous head-shaving incident and might injure her two sons.

“He said she’d been talking about suicide then, and this was the same. Britney was sobbing. She screamed,” says Barretto. “[He said] ‘I’m worried about the kids. Don’t let her go swimming with them.’ I asked, ‘Is she going to drown them?’ He said, ‘I don’t know.’ I started to cry. How am I supposed to protect someone like that?”

Tony also claims to have seen Britney do drugs right in front of him and she would often sneek out in the middle of the night without her bodyguard or other security.

“I’ve seen her take narcotics in nightclubs on only two occasions, but her drugged behavior — fidgety, nervous, jumpy — I’ve seen at her home, too, so I assume she was on drugs at home,” he says. “At the club, she was snorting a powdery substance, which I assume to be cocaine or methamphetamine. I think she leads a secret lifestyle and hides it from those she doesn’t trust. She gets upset with the notion of having to go there.”

Wow. This is beyond needing help.
