This is just so wrong!

Brooke Shields is having quite a week, reports are still buzzing about the headbutt heard around the world as a result of Jack McCollough knocking down the tipsy actress at the MET Costume Ball. And now she has one more thing to worry about. Two reporters from the National Enquirer recently checked Shields' mother out the nursing community in which she resides. Brooke's mother suffers from Dementia. The two reporters signed the woman out of the nursing home stating they were "friends of hers." Shiels, of course, is outraged and will be taking legal action against all those involved in the incident. Police are also investigating who in their right mind at the facility let Brooke's mother out. The reporters from the Enquirer took Brooke's mother out for a joy ride to find some stories. The tabloid rag has yet to release a statement. However, Brooke has released a statement:
"My mother Teri Shields has been diagnosed with dementia. For her safety, she has temporarily been in a senior living facility, a very difficult decision for me. Late Thursday afternoon, I was alerted by Old Tappan Police that my mother had been signed out of the facility by two reporters of the National Enquirer… who falsely claimed they were friends of hers. They then drove my 75-year-old mother around looking for a tabloid story. As anyone knows who has a parent who suffers from dementia or Alzheimer's, it is one of the most difficult experiences you can go through as a son or daughter. The idea that the National Enquirer took advantage of her state is reprehensible and disgusting."
