Newlywed Jade Goody: Sons Will Go to Biological Father

British celebrity Jade Goody’s honeymoon has already hit a rough spot. Goody first caught the public’s eye as a contestant on Big Brother in 2002, and has been using her fame to raise awareness for cervical cancer, of which she is currently dying. The 27-year-old, who this weekend wed her ex-convict boyfriend Jack Tweed, announced this week that she’s leaving her two sons to their biological father, Jeff Brazier. Writes Goody in her New! magazine column, "If the day comes when I’m not here, Jeff will have full custody and my mum and Jack will have access as and when they want. Jeff won’t move into my house, though."

Goody, 27, has invited cameras to witness her final days so she can die leaving her children with enough money for the future. On Sunday, in Essex, England, the groom, Tweed, 21, said "I do," but in order to do so, he was exempted from his jail-bird curfew. Tweed was arrested and recently released for whacking a teenage boy with a golf club, a detail that we’re sure pleased the press, as has almost everything Goody-related. And, say what you will about her career path, we still tip our hat for Goody’s work for women’s health.

In a lot of ways this is a sad story.

Sounds like she’s making every effort to "go in peace."  I applaud her.

What the cameras record will still be around for her children to see. I wonder how that will weigh on her mind, how it will affect what she does under the cameras? I am not sure how Jack deserves unrestricted access, but it could restrict the father’s choices in raising his kids. It sounds like she is doing what she can in a sad situation. I hope it works out well.

I agree that this is a sad story.  It appears that she is doing what’s best for her kids and I applaud her for that.

Tweed was arrested and recently released for whacking a teenage boy with a golf club … "when I’m not here, Jeff will have full custody and my mum and Jack will have access as and when they want."

She can’t be thinking clearly … why on earth should this 21 year old, who is spending time in jail for "whacking a teenage boy with a golf club" be permitted access to the two children? The biological father should have that overturned! — unless he too has spent time in jail for assault.

This is a sad story, but I feel she is doing what is best for  the children and herself. Perhap others may not see it her way, but it is her’s and I applaud her for strenght she is showing. I hope in my final days, I have the strenght that she is showing. It is not everyday, that one get too do as, they want about their home going. If you think back too 9/11, how many did not have any idea of what happen was going to them. Please try too keep an open mind, most would have waanted too know.

At the end of the day im sure jack has learnt the biggest lesson lay off him no matter what he is a big part of jades sons life and no one has the right to take that away. I understand bobby and freddie need there dad more than anything right now but they also need jack an jackie. I think life can be so cruel and my thoughts are with all of them rather than bitching.
