Brooke Mueller: Why She Lost Charlie Sheen's Twins

Charlie Sheen's ex-wife, Brooke Mueller, was placed on an involuntary psychiatric hold at the UCLA Medical Center in the days before child protective services took away their twins.


Mueller, 35, was 5150'd under the Californian Welfare Institutions Code - the same evaluation that Britney Spears went under in 2008 - that allows for a qualified peace officer or clinician to involuntarily confine someone because it's deemed they have a mental disorder which makes them a danger to themselves and/or others.

"Brooke was taken to the medical center on Wednesday night, after she was deemed to be a threat to herself and to others," a source close to the Mueller family confirmed to celebrity website RadarOnline.com.



"She had been using drugs for days and was not in her right mind. It was a very sad, sad situation," the source claimed.

"Once Brooke was admitted, her doctors notified the Department of Children and Family Services and action was taken by the agency immediately to get her children legally out of her care," the source added.

According to the source, Mueller is still being held at the hospital.

The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services took away Mueller and Sheen's four-year-old twins, Bob and Max, late on Thursday, because of fears their mother's drug use could put them in danger.

A source told Mueller has since refused to check into rehab despite the urging of her pals.



"Brooke is completely in denial about how bad her addiction is to crystal meth. Even after losing Bob and Max, she is still refusing to go back to rehab," an insider revealed.

"The only chance Brooke has of even having visitation with the boys is if she is in a treatment program," the source was quoted as saying.

"The longer Brooke goes without getting treatment, the more it hurts her chances of getting the boys back," the source explained.

Another source added: "Brooke is in a very, very bad place right now. She is absolutely despondent that she lost the boys. Maybe this will finally make her realize that she needs to get help."

On Friday, Mueller's mother, Moira Fiore was quoted as saying: "Everything is fine, everything is the way it is supposed to be right now...Brooke is fine, everybody will be fine."

It has to be noted that Sheen's second wife, Denise Richards, has taken over temporary care for the twins.


What do you think? Is Brooke Mueller fine or she needs to check into rehab ASAP?
