Questions over the ability of Amber Portwood as a mother have been raised as the star of the tv show "Teen Mom" was hospitalised in Indiana after threatening to commit suicide on Tuesday, according to reports. Police from the area reported that they'd been called to where Portwood was staying and they stated: "According to the caller, Portwood was depressed and threatening to end her life," the statement said. "The victim, who did not appear to be injured, was transported to a local medical facility."

Portwood, 21, is being evaluated at St. Johns Hospital in Anderson, the Chicago Tribune reported. She has had a fair share of troubles with a turbulent relationship with the father of her baby and according to reports had lost custody of the child and more reports said it was due to her pleading guilty to two counts of domestic battery.

So dark times for the TV star and she will be hoping for a resolution to her stress and to get her life back on track.
