Involuntary: Brooke Mueller, pictured in February, was placed in a psychometric hold days before her twins were taken into care

Brooke Mueller was  allegedly 'placed on an Involuntary Psychiatric Hold' days before her twin sons were taken away from her.
RadarOnline reports that the troubled ex-wife of Charlie Sheen spent several days at the UCLA Medical Center before child protective services took away her four-year-old twins Bob and Max.
Brooke, 35, was placed under section 5150 of the Californian Welfare Institutions Code - whihch Britney Spears went under back in 2008.
The 5150 allows for a qualified peace officer or clinician to involuntarily confine someone after deeming they have a mental disorder that makes them a danger to themselves and/or others.
A source close to the Mueller family told Radar: 'Brooke was taken to the medical center on Wednesday night, after she was deemed to be a threat to herself and to others.
'She had been using drugs for days and was not in her right mind. It was a very sad, sad situation.'
It is claimed that Brooke is still in hospital.
The insider added that after Brooke was admitted, the Department of Children and Family Services were notified and the agency took action to put her children into care.
Sheen's other ex-wife Denise Richards is to look after twins Bob and Max on a temporary basis.
Bob and Max were taken from Brooke late on Thursday allegedly 'because of fears their mother’s drug use could endanger them.'
However, Brooke is said to be is refusing to seek professional help for her drug addiction.
But the 35-year-old is said to be in denial about the severity of her drug addiction, a source told RadarOnline.

'[She] 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.'
And Brooke's mother Moira Fiore seems to be siding with her troubled daughter.
'Everything is fine, everything is the way it is supposed to be right now, with us,' she told RadarOnline.com. 'Brooke is fine, everybody will be fine.'

Not safe: Social workers are said to have felt twins Bob and max, four, 'weren't safe in Brooke's care'

But the source told the website that Brooke is clearly in need of help, stating,
'The only chance Brooke has of even having visitation with the boys is if she is in a treatment program,' said the insider.

The boys were taken away from Brooke late on Thursday afternoon after'Brooke was given many opportunities by social workers to clean up her act,' said a source. 'Social workers felt that Bob and Max weren't safe in Brooke's care.'

'It's expected at some point the boys will be taken care of by Charlie Sheen's ex-wife, who has cared for them in the past when Brooke went to rehab,' said the source.

'Denise loves the boys and their safety and well being mean everything to her. Bob and Max are safe and that is all the matters. Denise is simply complying with the court order.'
Despite the sad situation, friends are hoping it is the shock Brooke needs to finally get clean and beat her cocaine addiction.
A source told RadarOnline.com: '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 realise that she needs to get help.'

Good mum: Denise, pictured with her daughter Lola, has said that she will do anything for Brooke's children

Last year, Denise  - who has daughters Sam, nine, and Lola, seven, with the actor, as well as adopted Eloise, two - stepped in to look after the twins while Brooke endured a stint in rehab and she insisted she would do anything for the children.
She said: 'They're our family and they're Sam and Lola's brothers, and I can't imagine growing up without my sister, so anytime she needs help, I'm there for the boys.'

'[Sam and Lola] are the best big sisters to [the boys] and they love them.

'I know it doesn't seem normal, but it is our normal. They're little kids and I love children, and like I said, it's our daughter's brothers, so I can't say no.'

Neither worked out: Charlie was married to Denise for four years (pictured in 2005 in LA) and for three years to Brooke, pictured in LA in 2011
