It Is Official: Brad Pitt Officially Cleared In Child Abuse Investigation

 

Today marks a huge victory for Brad Pitt in the fight for his six children with Angelina Jolie as it has been learnt that the actor has been cleared of child abuse allegations by the Los Angeles Country Department of Children and Family Services.

A spokesperson for Angelina released the following statement saying “The job of the DCFS is to make sure the children are in a safe and secure situation. As we said earlier this week, childcare professionals encouraged a legal agreement accepted and signed by both sides that was in the best interest of the children. Angelina said from the beginning that she felt she had to take action for the health of the family and is relieved that after their 8-week involvement, the DCFS is now satisfied the safeguards are put in place that will allow the children to heal.”

The investigation, which ended earlier today, was initially underway due to an incident involving the Allied actor and his eldest son Maddox on a private airplane back on September 14 of this year. The DCFS found that Angelina's ex did not commit any child abuse during the incident. At the time of her filing for divorce, the Academy Award winner had asked for sole physical custody of the former couple's six children.

However, last week, Brad filed for joint custody despite the ongoing investigation. On Monday, a spokesperson for Angelina released the following lengthy statement regarding the status of the couple's kids during their divorce proceedings:  “The six children will stay in their mother's custody, and the children will continue therapeutic visits with their father. This has been determined by childcare professionals to be in the children's best interest. We are not in a position to discuss the details. We hope now that it is clear that the events which led to the dissolution filing involved minor children and their well being, there will be understanding of the sensitivity of the family situation. We believe that all sides are committed to healing the family and ask for your consideration during this difficult time.”
