LAPD officers respond to Charlie Sheen's home to check on children

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/.a/6a00d8341c630a53ef014e8661c3cb970d-320wiLos Angeles police Tuesday night responded to Charlie Sheen's Mulholland Drive mansion after receiving a call from a security guard that the actor's former wife, Denise Richards, had arrived at the residence to check on their two children.

The children were not removed from the residence and there was no report that they were endangered, according to two Los Angeles Police Department sources familiar with the call.

"My sons are fine... My path is now clear... Defeat is not an option...!" Sheen posted on his new Twitter account late Tuesday.

In recent days, Sheen has held a series of headline-grabbing interviews after CBS canceled his show, "Two and a Half Men," for the remainder of the season. Speaking to ABC, CNN and other news and radio outlets, Sheen ranted about having "tiger blood" in his veins and called his bosses "knuckleheads" and "AA Nazis."

The 45-year-old actor has long had a reputation for reckless behavior. He allegedly threatened his second wife with a knife, has been to rehab and landed in a hospital emergency room in January.

Seriously...this situation is a ticking time bomb and everybody is watching and eating it up. And nobody is doing anything.
Who is going to step up?

"tiger blood"?

It's just a matter of days before this has-been gets picked up by an army of guys in white suits, forced to wear a strait jacket and put in a mental hospital for a 72 hour hold.

If the DA doesn't get rollin' on this I'm afraid some people, including innocent children, will get hurt.

And what's wrong with Denise Richards? I can't see any Judge refusing to give her sole custody of their children indefinitely; How come she leaves the kids with this mental patient?

Really?

the judge was wrong in giving sheehan house arrest, he should have been thrown in jail for his briefcase full of drugs. anyone else would have gone directly to jail but not cs because he had the cash to hire a powerful lawyer. what is wrong with these ex-wives, the prostitutes and his family?
if the ex-wives were responsible parents those children would not be at his house.
based on the rants and incoherent ramblings it is apparent there is something seriously wrong with him. there are many significant issues in the world today and the media should focus on thoe instead of the bizzare behavior of a television performer.

John Belushi, Chris Farley, Brittany Murphy, Michael Jackson, River Phoenix....the list goes on and on of other actors who had it under control too.....I certainly hope Charlie Sheen gets the help he needs before 4 little kids lose their father.....his teeth are rotting out, his color is bad, his brain appears to be fried..... how sad to watch this train wreck unfold......

Remove ... the children ... now.

This trajectory's conclusion can only be a serious bummer, but it doesn't have to be a tragedy.

leave dude alone. he is being who he is charle shenn,so cut it out,like yeah dont know, should thought about that when you'll gave him' the part in tow an half men,i smell law suit!!!!!

This guy is so burned out he doesn't even know he's burned out!

He's pathetic.

So who is his publicist that wrote this? I thought he didn't have one anymore.

TMZ says the children were removed. Who is right ?

Quote from Charlie Sheen on msnbc:

I stayed calm and focused while surrendering kids.

they're BOTH right. the twin boys were removed but his two daughters were deemed safe to stay with him for their scheduled visitation.

Read the news. His second wife is in Day rehab who got scared after he allegedly threatened her with a pencil in her eye on the phone. That is the reason she got the kids removed.

I strongly feel he was USED form everyone who could gain by him. For their own greed. Theres no dought that he needs help, hes being attacked and doing the best he can to protect everything in his life ( even his addictions ) Dealers, Directors or Producers all give him the rope to hang himself. The media and the some of the public are so condecending it makes me sick. In stead of mocking or judging him and the situation, try a little compasion and empathy.

How much more can some one take.?
I really hope he has the strength to fight this.

Have not heard a word from Charlies famous dad or brother. Guess they don't want anything to do with him.

i thought it was the other ex, hope fuly he is saying the truth about his path is clear, i guess , will see.........

His sons are with Brooke Mueller.. not Denise Richards... he has 2 girls with Denise... where's the responsible (intelligent) journalism?

This disgusting piece of crap has totally jumped the shark!

Don't they mean Brook coming to check on her two children, the boys? Or now is is Denise who showed up to check on her two children, the girls? This gets weirder and weirder. Anyone hear of 5150? Brittney's kids were taken away just for her locking herself in the bathroom crying about having to send her boys with Kevin's security guard to his house; and they put her in a mental hospital, took conservatorship on her and took away all her money and rights. Yet Charlie who is obviously CRAZY and SERIOUSLY MENTALLY ILL and a danger to himself and others (remember Brook with a knife to her throat?) And now he threatens her again with physical danger while in Bahamas, can still walk around free and use drugs, have porno parties while young children are in the home? They need to commit him and I mean for more than 3 days.

cocaine! passed a drug test ,,, so what. you can do that with 29.99$ and a kit from google. you people are stupid if you believe his crap.

Keep his own and ALL children away from him in perpetuity. AND neuter him. Remember when people like him were strapped to a gurney and sedated? Ahhh...The Good Ol' Days!

I believe an intervention is what should take place. I think that soon you will find Charlie back in jail. Why are these judges so easy on these so called stars? They are just like you and me... people! If I had done eaht Charlie, Paris, LIndsey or the rest of them have done, I would have been in the slammer! Who says money doesn't talk!

. The court system does not attribute credentials to porno females as role models for children. On the other hand, the mother of these kids is an addicted person who does not seem to be able to care for them...so, if he had an official nanny which I think he did on board to care for his kids, the issue should be resolved. He did nothing wrong. The porno chicks simply play with the kids and that in itself should not be a crime. It is their father's choice. They can deal with that twenty years from now.
