Mindy McCready Committed to Treatment Facility After Children Taken by Child Services -- Report

Mindy McCready's problems continue to snowball.

Sources tell E! News that the troubled country star's two children have been taken by child services. A judge has since ordered that McCready be committed to a treatment facility for alcohol abuse and a mental health evaluation.

This new information comes just weeks after the death of David Wilson, McCready's boyfriend and father of her youngest son. An investigation into his supposed suicide is ongoing.

"Family members sought to have Mindy committed to a mental-health facility and there was an emergency hearing today," a source confesses. "They just got out of court a little while ago and the judge committed her for up to 21 days."

Another insider claims that McCready admitted to drinking since the passing of Wilson, in order to cope with the terrible loss. She is adamant that she had nothing to do with her boyfriend's untimely death, denouncing tabloid rumors to the contrary. Authorities are still awaiting autopsy results.

McCready's 6-year old son, Zander, and 10-month-old son, Zayne, are currently in the care of Department of Human Services in Arkansas, E! News reports.

To all the posters who can't believe Mindy is being accused of murder, watch the Today interview where she she says the dog ate the shell casing that was missing for a day. (She found it a day later "in the dog's mouth.") The whole interview is so suspicious and makes her look guilty. I'm shocked her lawyers let her do it.

As someone who lives in Nashville the inside story on Mindy is even worse than what you hear in the media.

Mindy, Mindy, Mindy...wouldn't you like to see your name in the news for a damn good country song instead of all this mental meltdown crap. You have all the makings of some good songs to be written by just looking at your history....do IT! Leave the guys alone as it just doesn't ever seem to work out. You & your sons can have a good life if you let yourself. Good Luck!!

Well what in the helldoes anyone expect from her?!! Her mental state was not healthy to begin with and the dect., the media and family and friends have done nothing but drive her to this! They have not been there to support her and she is really being accused of killing or having something to do with his death and she is supposed to not fall apart?!!! I feel bad for her, she has had problems for a long, long time and has tried to keep herself together the best she could. This is noone's fault but outsiders.Someone that is not strong mentally to begin with needs support not someone or one's to drag her down to where she is toatally lost. I can't wait until the autopsy comes back and hopefuly this will help her to at least feel better about herself that she did not kill or have anything to do with his death. This poor girl has been rung through the ringer and she may never be stable enough to keep herself together. Now the state has her kids and that has got to make her even more unstable but until she can get herself together the kids will be better off for now but they need their mother when she gets it together and everyone stays off her ass and her her not hurt her more!!

I met her when she first started out. She appeared at a Mall where I worked. She knew four songs, was dating the guitar player and what a lovely person. Very friendly, humble and seemed a littled awed by the whole star thing. It is hear- breaking to follow her sad life. Where is family or friends for those children? I really hope she doesn't follow in the final steps of Amy Windhouse. What a loss of potential talent.

If her family is so concerned about the children, WHY are they in foster care? The baby may not notice/remember too much, but the 6 year-old sure will. I'm all for treating addictions, but does it have to be like this?
