Denise Richards is telling In Touch magazine that her two young daughters, Sam, 4, and, Lola, 3, have been place in “counseling” because of the turmoil in their lives. Wait, aren’t parents supposed to protect kids from stuff like fighting and divorce proceedings, and not exploit them on a TV show?

“My kids are in therapy,” Denise revealed. “It’s very sad that they need to be there, but they do for now, If I can help anyone feel better about their kids being in therapy - then something else good has come of this, too.”
