Now the L.A. Times reports Brit has some questions to answer from the nice folks at the Department of Family and Children Services.

Wait till they see the pictures of Brit with Sean Preston on her lap while paragliding. Apparently, some nearby condors were shooting for Agence France-Presse. Sean looks a little windblown in those shots, but she took him along when it became clear the birds might become aggressive.
