I think this "parent" has been given enough chances. Time to sever her parental rights. Those boys need therapy ( LOTS of therapy) and a stable home.

That letter is so sad. Denise clearly loves the boys, but recognized that without being allowed to get them the help they needed and permission to keep them far away from their mom, there was nothing she could do other than continuing to put her own children and pets at risk. That was clearly not an option, with good reason. Those boys are going to seriously hurt or kill someone at the rate they're going.

Yeah, I only found out about this info recently. Wow. Just...wow. Denise isn't perfect, but one doesn't have to speculate whether her daughters will grow up to be serial killers. [kidding/not kidding] Check out the letter Denise wrote to DCFS about why she had to give up caring for the twins. Those boys really don't stand a chance. ETA- I love how Denise didn't get any financial support for the boys. Brooke did, but apparently kept it for herself. Even if Denise had gotten financial support for the boys, Charlie probably would have blasted Denise in the media over it. Just wow at Denise in taking the high road when it comes to her children with Charlie and Charlie's children with Brooke. No hidden agenda, not causing drama. Even if Denise may not make the best choices in choosing a romantic mate, she seems to try not to let them negatively impact the children. The incident in which the twins locked themselves in the child's room was really creepy. It was so disturbing, I could barely finish Denise's letter. Let's hope in a few years, that child doesn't reveal that molestation was involved.  ETA: Thanks, Ginger. However, having read about Charlie's past outbursts, I wouldn't trust his benevolence for long. |

Charlie actually is the one who really wanted the court to take Brooke's child support money away and give it to Denise while Denise had custody of the boys, but Denise refused. Charlie was not only feeling kind and generous towards Denise at the time, but he also thought Brooke just wanted custody of the boys for the $$.

I hadn't read that letter before because I'm uncomfortable with child custody documents being leaked. I finally read it and I am heartbroken for those boys. We joke about how some kids 'don't have a chance' but this is the real life version of that. It sounds like the only chance they really had was Denise, and because the state continues to allow Brooke to remain in their lives that chance has been taken from them.
I know many states will bend over backward to try to keep both parents involved with the children, believing it to be in their best interests, but sometimes it just isn't. Sometimes they need to step back and look at the situation in front of them and admit that something isn't working for those boys.

I also read the other day that in terms of custody options, the court will no longer consider Brooke's brother because he was proven to be lying to the court to back up Brooke and the shit she was trying to pull over. (It was pretty obvious that Brooke was using him as a patsy all along.)
Martin and and Janet Sheen are way too old to try to parent young boys, particularly boys with multiple special needs. And I think Charlie has burned all bridges with his siblings, so none of them is going to step into the mess.
That leaves Brooke's family and they do whatever she wants, lie to the court, and funnel all of the child support money for the boys to her. I don't see any good solution here.

Yeah, both of the Sheen parents are in their 70s and Martin had a quadruple bypass this year. I don't see them taking on the care of children with these issues.

There is no way these boys are going to have a happy ending. |

Well, I don't like bumping his thread, but I thought this was significant: "Charlie Sheen effect" has boosted HIV screening. Still one of the worst people ever, though. |

He did something good, but more or less by accident.
