The Willow Smith Moises Arias controversial photo continues to bring a lot of heat to Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith, as the couple is now reportedly under investigation by child protection services after their 13-year-old daughter, Willow, appeared in a photo on a bed with 20-year-old actor Moises Arias.
The Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services are said to have been in contact with the parents after their 13-year-old daughter, Willow, appeared in a picture posted on the internet of her laying on a bed with actor Moises Arias, 20.
The investigation was formally opened last week and is being taken very seriously by the department. "Will and Jada Pinkett Smith have been extremely cooperative with officials. Of course, they aren't happy that their parenting skills are under scrutiny, but they understand."
In the controversial black and white pictures Willow is wearing jeans and a shirt, while Moises appears shirtless as they lay close together on a bed. It is thought the pictures were taken over one weekend of the Coachella festival in Indio, California, which also raises questions about what level of adult supervision the youngsters had at the event.
The source added: "Social workers will also be talking separately with Willow, and they also want to talk to the young man in the picture with her as well. This won't just be one or two visits with the family, and it will likely be an open investigation for at least a month, out of an abundance of caution."
"Willow was questioned on two separate occasions by social workers from Child Protective Services. Once in the presence of her parents, and the second time, Willow was alone with the social workers.
"She made it clear that nothing inappropriate had happened with Moises. Moises has been friends with Willow and older brother Jaden, for years. The Smith's treat him as one of the family, and know he wouldn't take advantage of that trust."
The insider added: "There have been no allegations of any wrongdoing or illegal activity by Moises.
"Moises is under no obligation to talk to authorities. Social workers just want to make sure there is proper adult supervision of the children in Will and Jada's house."
Jada, 42, was angry when she was asked about the photo earlier this month. She said: "Here's the deal. There was nothing sexual about that picture or that situation." Will and Jada also have a son, Jaden, who is 15.
