Denise Richards 'offers to take Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller's twins for Christmas as four-year-olds face spending the holidays in foster care'
As Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller's custody battle gets increasing toxic, it is their twins who are getting caught in the middle of the mayhem and there were fears that they may even spend Christmas with strangers.
Max and Bob, aged four, were said to be in danger of being put into foster care over the festive season after reports that Child Protective Services were presented with mystery evidence revealing major inconsistencies in 36-year-old Mueller’s drug treatment program.
However, 48-year-old Sheen's other ex-wife, Denise Richards, has reportedly stepped in to rescue the boys once again and is willing to give them a second chance.
Holiday horror: There were fears that Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller's twins Bob and Max could spend Christmas in foster care
'Denise reached out to DCFS and said under no circumstances does she want Bob and Max to be placed in foster care,' a source told
RadarOnline.com. 'Social workers were impressed with Denise’s commitment to the boys.
'If the boys were to come back to Denise, she said they would have to be properly tested and assessed for their behavioral issues. She never wanted to give the boys up, but Brooke refused to allow them to be seen by doctors,” a source close to the situation told Radar.
Troubled Brooke's brother, Scott Mueller, had been granted temporary guardianship of the boys after the 42-year-old Denise was forced to give them up following alleged violent outbursts against her own daughters and their pets.

However, after
RadarOnline.com reported that the short-lived family stability is already in peril, she apparently offered to step in to help.
'There is a very real possibility that Bob and Max could be placed in foster care because evidence was also uncovered regarding their temporary guardian, Scott, that is riddled with glaring differences in version of events,' a source close to the situation had told Radar.
'The department is taking this very seriously, and are considering recommending the boys be placed in foster care, pending the outcome of the investigation.

'Charlie can’t get custody of the boys, even if he were to have round-the-clock nannies because of his past behavior,' explained the insider.
'Brooke’s parents won’t be considered. It’s such a sad situation, but the safety and well-being of the boys comes first. Such drastic action wouldn’t be taken unless it was necessary, and sadly, it is.'
Starship Troopers star Richards was forced to give up the twins because of their alleged violent behaviour towards her daughters, Sam, Lola, and Eloise, and in a distressing letter to child protective services, she explained the harrowing situation.
According to Denise, her 'daughters have been strangled, kicked in the head and stomach, scratched, bit, slapped, punched in the face and head, and spit on' by the boys, as have the family dogs, reported Radar.
One night, she claims, they even broke into their baby sister‘s room and relieved themselves in her tub, flinging their feces all over her bathroom. Richards has battled to have Max and Bob evaluated for such unimaginable acts, but said that she has been stymied at every turn by Mueller.
Now DCFS can go to court 'at anytime and ask the judge to strip Scott Mueller of temporary guardianship, and placed in foster care. It’s a very, very real possibility,' claims Radar's legal insider.
'The agency is looking at all options for the boys placement, and Denise could save them from living with strangers.'
