Willow Smith may already have a burgeoning career as a singer and actor. But at 13, she’s still just a kid.

Which is why Los Angeles County’s Child Protective Services has opened an investigation into her equally famous parents – Will and Jada Pinkett Smith – after 20-year-old actor Moises Arias posted a picture of himself shirtless in bed with the teenage Willow.

Her parents just do understand, but will CPS investigators?

Radar Online reports that a source with knowledge of the investigation told them it was “formally opened last week and is being taken very seriously by the department.”

The picture, posted by Arias to social media, depicted the “Hannah Montana” actor shirtless in bed with the 13-year-old Smith. Though Arias later deleted the photo, an anonymous tip to authorities spurred the investigation.

What a CPS Investigation Entails

So what happens during a CPS investigation?

According to Radar’s source, CPS social workers will be talking with Willow and Arias, along with Willow’s parents. “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,” the source said.

No word yet on whether Smith’s parents plan to make her move in with her auntie and uncle in Bel Air.
