Ariel Winter to remain in sister’s custody

After reviewing  the abuse allegations against ‘Modern Family’ star Ariel Winter’s mother a judge has decided that the 14 year-old actress should remain in her sister’s custody for at least the next several weeks.

An investigation into the allegations by child protective investigators found evidence of emotional abuse and the agency planned to step in and take action if the child was returned to her mother. 6 weeks ago Winters mother, Chrisoula Workman, temporarily lost custody after allegations arose that she was both physically and emotionally abusive to her daughter and Winter’s has been staying with her sister ever since.

Winter’s father Glenn Workman is getting in on the action now too, pressing the courts to return Ariel to her mother or allow him to raise her telling the court: “I want to provide for her a calm loving home environment that is a retreat from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood; a place where she can think and relax without any distractions. This whole situation has turned into a circus and places Ariel in a position she should not have to be in.”
