A reporter with the National Enquirer allegedly checked Brooke Shields mother out of her nursing room on Thursday by posing as a friend, according to People. Teri Shields (75) suffers from dementia.

"I intend to take every lawful action against all who were involved or who authorized this despicable act."

Police were called to the nursing home by its staff to help look for the elder Shields, who had been allowed to leave but was gone for an "extended period of time." They found Teri unharmed chatting with a freelance journalist at a restaurant next door to the New Jersey assisted living center.

The journalist and a photographer were questioned by police. The incident is still under investigation.

That journalist *cough* needs to not only go to jail, but also needs to be fired, and black listed from anything journalism related. This is unbelievable.

We want to know the name of this so-called journalist.
