Robin Thicke Is Being Investigated for Child Abuse After Allegedly 'Spanking' His Son
CelebritiesDirt BagAfter Julian Thicke, the six-year-old son of exes Robin Thicke and Paula Patton, told “officials” at his school that his father “spanked him more than once,” they reported the news to the LA County Department of Community and Family Services.
Us Weekly is now reporting the DCFS, who opened their investigation on January 3, has since interviewed both Julian and Robin about the incident, and that Patton has “reportedly denied Thicke access to Julian and filed an emergency order asking a judge to restrict the Grammy nominee’s time with [Julian] to monitored daytime visits only.”
They continue:
In court documents obtained by Us Weekly, Thicke denies any wrongdoing and maintains: “On a very rare occasion and only as a last resort, I will use light spanking, but it is consistent with the law — open hand on the butt. This is the type of discipline to which Paula and I agreed during our marriage.”
He goes on to suggest that “Paula holds residual anger” towards him because he and his family “would not permit her or her family to attend the funeral of my father on December 20, 2016″ because she and Alan did not have a “positive relationship.”
