Ariel Winter is one step closer to divorcing her mother, as Child Protective Services has now formally recommended that the 14-year-old “Modern Family” actress should remain under the guardianship of her sister, actress Shanelle Gray. According to Radar Online, they have also recommended that her mother, Chrisoula Workman, should not be allowed to have any unsupervised contact with her.

A source has allegedly said that "social workers from the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services conducted extensive interviews with Ariel, her mother and her sister," and that they have now “written a formal report for the judge handling the guardianship petition.” The conclusion of this is that “DCFS officials agree that her sister should remain as Ariel's guardian.”

Ariel was placed under the care of her sister on October 3 following claims that she was being physically and emotionally abused by her mother. Instances listed in the custody documents include “ongoing physical abuse (slapping, hitting, pushing) and emotional abuse (vile name-calling, personal insults about minor and minor's weight, attempts to 'sexualize' minor, deprivation of food, etc).”

Ariel's father, Glenn Workman, who is estranged from the actress's mother, reportedly objects to the sister's guardianship and has also stepped forward to ask for custody of the girl.

    I'm sorry but the Jackson's trump the Lohan's 20 times over. Who could tell the difference between Janet and Michael. And are those Children really Michael's and why the hoods. And the Grandmother even appears to be a crackpot.

    Getting molested by your father's drug dealer? I'd say that's a lot more messed up than a few lawsuits.

    What makes it more messed up is that the bullet had been meant for Gaye's mother. He basically stepped into the fight, defended his mother and got shot to death by his father. Play it cool, T.

    Although I do have to say that Michael Jackson on his own is bizarre enough to make his whole family vie easily for second place. From getting a tattoo of Winnie-the-Pooh on his johnson, fondling little boys, Neverland Ranch, collection of the Elephant Man's bones, dangling his infant son out a 3rd story window for the press... on and on and on... Eccentric is soooooo the wrong word.

    You DO realize that Kevin Clash was born TWO years after Michael, right?

    So your pathetic attempt to draw parallels betwixt the two fails miserably.
