Someone Needs to Save Charlie Sheen's Kids

Pop-Ed: As Charlie Sheen continues to dive headfirst off of the deep end and his estranged wife Brooke Mueller stands party to it, the natural question is, why haven't Charlie and Brooke's children nearly two year old twins Bob and Max been put in the care of a competent adult.

Last February, the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services opened an investigation of Sheen's family at the urging of their Colorado counterpart following Sheen's Christmas day attack on Mueller with a knife.

But we haven't heard a peep from them since.

When PopEater placed a call to DCFS we were told they cannot disclose whether anyone's case is ongoing, whether they're famous or not, but they did tell us they respond to calls alleging abuse of a child.

Asked whether they will launch an investigation if the father is a known drug abuser who wants prostitutes to babysit his kids and the mother has moved back into his home and is jetting off to the Bahamas with the father and a gaggle of porn stars, DCFS replied that they typically launch investigations only if a call reporting direct abuse of children is made to their hotline.
Sheen has other minor children Sam and Lola, who are safely with their mother Denise Richards, who is doing all she can to shield them from their father's absurd breakdown.

But what of Charlie and Brooke's kids? Mueller is hardly the poster woman for stability. She recently checked out of her second rehab facility and is reportedly being treated at home by sober coaches, much as Sheen has alleged he is doing.

If DCFS doesn't have an investigation of this family in process, can someone please call their hotline and ask for one? These people should not be raising toddlers.

Watching celebrities self destruct is our modern day version of watching lions devour Christians in the Roman Coliseum. It's entertainment. But when there are children involved, it becomes tragic and someone has to intervene.
