"TMZ has learned a former, part-time security worker for &lt;a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.tmz.com/person/britney-spears/\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Britney Spears&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; contacted the &lt;strong&gt;L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services&lt;/strong&gt;, claiming Britney abused her sons, but his timing raises suspicions.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=\"0910_media_removed_Mel_Gibson\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2010/09/16/0910-media-removed-mel-gibson-1.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sources say&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2010/06/09/britney-spears-sexual-harassment-bodyguard-topless-naked/\"&gt;Fernando Flores&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;claimed Britney whipped one of her sons with a belt.&amp;#160; Flores made other claims that Britney abused both sons.&amp;#160; But sources tell us Flores did not utter a peep for more than a month after he was let go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A source close to Britney and her family tells TMZ, \"The allegations made by Fernando Flores are absurd.\"&amp;#160; The source adds, \"Flores was never an employee of Britney.&amp;#160; He was never an employee of the Spears family.&amp;#160; He worked part-time for a security company.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And sources say Children Services investigated -- as they must -- and determined the claim had no merit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- relatedlinks --&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
