Denise Richards has been cleared of allegations of child abuse levelled at her by Charlie Sheen’s ex-wife Brooke Mueller.
Mueller had claimed Richards abused and neglected her twin sons Max and Bob, 4, while they were in her care, along with Denise’s own children with Charlie, Sam, 9, Lola, 8, and her adopted daughter Eloise, 2.
The Los Angeles Department of Children And Family Services launched an investigation into the allegations last week but have since closed the case.
“Child welfare officers quickly established that there was no merit to Brooke’s claims and found that no follow-up investigation would be necessary,” a source revealed to Radar.
“The department, under California law, had to officially look into the claims. Denise was cooperative and had been scheduled to meet with DCFS for a follow-up meeting, but officials decided it simply wasn’t necessary. It now won’t be taking place. The case is closed.”
“In reality, social workers had heaped praise on Denise during many home visits when she had custody of the twins because she was doing such a great job with them,” the source said.
“Denise was often told that the world could benefit from more people like her because of her selfless act of taking Bob and Max as their temporary guardian. It was evident to everyone involved in this sad case that Denise is a fantastic mother and would do anything for the children.”
Denise recently gave up custody of Charlie and Brooke’s twins after the boys acted violently towards her girls.
Brooke’s brother Scott is now the court-appointed temporary guardian for the children.
