Should celebrity mums be shamed?

Britney Spears has been voted the world's worst celebrity mum with Kerry Katona coming in at second and Jade Goody pipping Kate Moss to third spot. Is it right that celebrities are named and shamed as bad parents because they are setting bad examples, or is parenting a matter that should be kept private?

    ofcourse they should be shamed, they come on Tv like little miss innocents and then spend their time on drugs, or slagging other people of, it's about time their kids came forst, in fact i think they should have there kids taken of them, especially kerry kationa.

    RE MARTIKA GRIMSHAW..Britney was in la la land before she even married 2x and had babies.As for Kerry well her public image was fake from the start.She was into drugs when she was with Brian and she admitted in a spoken not printed interview that that was one of the reasons they parted.She knows she was at fault hence why she's still finding it all to hard to deal with still.

    lmao sorry mark mate.Just realised your comment was half of mariels.Strange how its only the louts that top the list of good or bad celebrity mums.Why do you never see the likes of Kate Winslet and Shania Twain on these lists.There dislike of not wanting to attend award ceremonys,sell exclusive stories,clean lifestyle etc prove kids come first in their households.

    Mark...sorry but you can't be a celebritiy whinging about paparazzi attention and also whinge about the fact that they also follow you around in fleets of cars but yet sit a very young infant freely on your lap.Thats totally insane.Even if that was the actions of a non celebrity they've endangered the childs safety period.Even the most minor of an accident would kill a small child not securely strapped in.

    There is no worse example than Jordan.Having a disabled son that looks different yet she constantly throws hurtful comments to others about their looks.This is usually on tv so it's not the newspapers just making stuff up at the drop of a hat.How ignorant is that woman,she's actually justifying the very kind of bullying still being fully aware that her son will at one point will be on the receiving end.When Harvey gets to an age when the bullying becomes a problem then how can anybody truly console their child when they are guilty of inflicting the same pain on others?That would count as emotional neglect.
