With a background such as this the State could step in and remove the children to foster care or relative care. I do not recommend this action.
The simple answer is that it is impossible to say. The Florida Dept of Children and Families are required to investigate credible complaints; if the family complained they probably would investigate, and if they thought thewre was potential harm to the child remove the child from the home on a temporary basis. The ultimate decision is up to the Judge
