Charlie Sheen’s sons were, most likely removed, as the result of his estranged wife filing for a civil order of protection under the Violence Against Women Act. This law allows for the “Court”, to immediately issue a temporary restraining order against the party.

I say “Court” because it was the same system that allowed a women to file the same type of restraining order against David Letterman for abusing her with his psychic powers. It was discovered at the time that many of these orders were actually the judge’s rubber stamped signatures stamped by a clerk.

In Albuquerque, I kid you not, there is a check box the ‘victim’ can check to have the kids remain or returned to the ‘victim’. My ex-wife actually got such an order the day after State Protective Services removed the last two of our children from her home. I imagine there is a similar check box in California

Finally, the intent of the act is the protection of victims of domestic violence. For this reason, the addresses of the alleged victims are not revealed. This is why no one told Sheen where his sons were being taken.
