Report: Child Protection Services Investigate Tiger Woods' Home

Florida's Department of Children and Families is investigating the home of Tiger Woods, RadarOnline reports. Allegedly, a domestic violence incident - with a weapon - is being investigated between Tiger and his wife Elin Nordegren.

Police documents suggest that the violent incident took place in front of their young children. Using police code, the document alludes that there was a weapon involved - a golf club.

Child protection services is responsible for assessing the safety of children in a home where domestic violence may have occurred. By state law the agency is not permitted to confirm open cases, but a source close to the situation says that the investigation remains open.

On the heels of an alleged 14th mistress, Tiger's situation seems to get worse as each day passes. Tiger and Elin are parents to 2-year-old daughter Sam and 10-month-old son Charlie.

Do you think that Tiger is capable of violence as well? And what about Elin?

CBS does not tolerate sexist or racist posts/questions/comments. My question above does not allude to any form of discrimination.

I still can't believe everything that has come out about Tiger Woods' personal life in the last couple of weeks, it's just so shocking. Hopefully neither of them were physically abusive period - but especially not in front of their kids. That would just make an already awful situation that much worse.

It's sad to see this family pic now. I remember when they were first released after Charlie's birth it was so sweet to see what a happy family they were (or seemed to be).

As for child protection I would like to add on the importance of a child-oriented home. Children tend to misbehave in environments that are not suited to them. Living in a home designed for adults, it is very easy for them to become frustrated. The light switch might be too high and out of reach, chairs might be so high that the child’s feet cannot touch the floor or he/she might not be allowed to satisfy his/her curiosity by smelling the lovely vase of colorful flowers on the table and touch the leaves. In an environment like this, it would be no surprise if the child becomes restless and bad-humored.

A welcoming environment brings many important benefits and enables children to develop skills that they will take with them through life. A child with the freedom to explore is much more likely to become alert and self-sufficient than one who is trapped in his/her playpen or walker – not trusted to play alone in the adult-orientated environment. A healthy child needs to grow up in a situation that supports his/her development rather than hinder it. An additional benefit is the lower likelihood of having to rely on homeowners insurance to cover mishaps or accidents.
