Perez Hilton’s Mom Files for Temporary Custody of His Three Kids After Self-Harming Incident

Perez Hilton's mom has filed for temporary custody of his three minor kids, TMZ can confirm.

Teresita Lavandeira is asking to seal the records. In her filing, she says ... "The children in this case should not be subjected to any further trauma related to the incidents that are the basis of the petition."

And, Perez is on board with it -- TMZ has obtained the consent form he signed to hand over Teresita temporary custodial rights over his kiddos. This includes consent to allow her to make all necessary and reasonable medical and dental care decisions for the children, obtain copies of their records such as birth certificates, enroll them in school, and more.

Page Six was first to report the news.

This comes 1 week after the celebrity blogger was hospitalized after he harmed himself physically on a live stream during a mental health crisis at his home in Florida.

Perez's family has given some updates on his well-being following the horrifying incident, last saying over the weekend he remained hospitalized under Florida's Baker Act, which allows for the involuntary hospitalization of folks suffering from severe mental health issues.

They also said he would need surgery to help injuries he sustained during his mental health crisis.

TMZ previously reported Perez's kids, plus his niece and sister, were present when he first started showing signs of a mental health crisis ... but they quickly exited his home once they realized he was unwell.

The family has been able to communicate with him, they told fans ... and last described his condition as "serious but stable."
