Britney Spears wants to protect her children

Britney Spears wants to protect her children.

"Recent aggressive actions by individuals who have followed (Spears) and blocked her access, with and without the children, have resulted in her decision to take certain security measures which she hopes will only be necessary temporarily, for the protection of the children," Sorrell Trope said in a statement Monday.

Spears, 25 is locked in a custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline, 29, PEOPLE reports.

Trope adds that steps are being taken to calm the media storm.

"Ms. Spears hopes that she and Mr. Federline will be able to reach an agreement as to all matters concerning their children," Trope said. "She hopes that by not commenting on court proceedings the media attention in those proceedings will subside, which she requests for the safety and well being of the children."
