MALIBU, California (AP) -- Child welfare officials and a sheriff's deputy visited the home of Britney Spears but declined to say Tuesday whether they were investigating the pop princess.
Spears and her husband, Kevin Federline, are the parents of an infant son, Sean Preston.
The Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services and the Lost Hills sheriff's station declined to give details of Saturday afternoon's visit.
"It's a very standard, routine patrol request," Lt. Debra Glaskides said Tuesday. "We just roll out with them. We stood by, we took no action, no report or anything."
The Sheriff's Department said it was a DCFS matter and couldn't release any information. Glaskides said there may not even be a DCFS investigation, noting it may have been only a welfare check.
Phone and e-mail messages left for Spears' New York publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnik, weren't immediately returned.
In February, DCFS visited Spears' home after publication of photographs showing the 24-year-old singer driving with then 4-month-old Sean Preston in her lap, rather than in a car seat as required by law.
Spears later apologized, saying she did it because of a "horrifying, frightful encounter with the paparazzi."
DCFS director Louise Grasmehr didn't return a phone message left Tuesday at her Los Angeles office. The department routinely refuses to discuss cases, citing confidentiality laws.

What a load of crap.... if she was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO scared of the paparazzi, then WHY did she have a SMILE on her face while driving? Why didn't the other person, in the vehicle, climb into the back, take the baby, and place him in the car seat?
She's a celebrity, and knows that she can get away with things. Well, I hope that she gets a real slap of reality for what she did. Dumb bimbo.

Maybe I saw it on the cover of one of those grocery store rags, I found a link to Star Magazine. Consider the source, and how much I could care less
"On April 7, when Britney Spears and Kevin Federline realized that their baby, Sean Preston, had been sleeping more than usual, panic bells went off. Just six days earlier, the 7-month-old had taken a major fall from his high chair, a tumble that had his parents worried that he might have been critically injured.
They had every right to fret. After rushing Sean to a nearby hospital, they discovered he had a minor skull fracture (sometimes called a "scalp fracture" in babies), and a blood clot. And the doctors weren't the only ones to take notice! The next day, the Department of Children and Family Services began looking into the incident."
Oh yes We all know that bat boy truly exists... oh, and that Jesus can be found appearing in the shadows of a moutain in some country (Pakistan) or something.
