According to court documents released Wednesday in Los Angeles, Courtney Love may have lost custody of her 17-year-old daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, due to “domestic violence,” People reports. On Dec. 11, Love lost legal control of Frances for undisclosed reasons, and the teenager was placed in the temporary care of her grandmother, Wendy O’Connor (the mother of late Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain), and her aunt, Kimberly Dawn. In the newly released court papers, the guardianship’s lawyers argued for certain documents “relating to a minor and allegations of domestic violence” to be sealed. Among the documents being asked to be sealed are Frances’ medical records, according to the court papers, which do not elaborate any further. Love’s publicist had no comment regarding the matter, and the singer’s lawyer could not be reached for comment.

That is really sad to read. I wish Francis Bean Cobain all the best.
Well, Courtney may be telling the truth when she cites Frances’s behavioral problems.
Maybe, though, Courtney should have nipped that in the bud by deciding against doing heroin while she had a child developing inside of her.
Are you blaming Frances Bean for all this? You seem to be.
So did Courtney attack Frances, or the other way around? Either situation would get her removed from the house. Sad either way. I hope that Frances can overcome the tragedies in her life, as it is difficult for anyone (famous or not) to rise above the loss of one parent and the serious problems of the other.
Just die already, Love.
