LOS ANGELES — A judge says teen actress Ariel Winter should
remain in her sister’s care for the next several weeks after determining that
her mother should not regain custody of the “Modern Family” star.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Levanas issued the
ruling Tuesday. It comes more than six weeks after Winter’s mother, Chrisoula
Workman, was temporarily stripped of custody amid allegations she had been
physically and emotionally abusive to her daughter.
Levanas says investigators found that Winter had undergone
some emotional abuse. Allegations that Workman was physically abusive to her
daughter were inconclusive.
Winter has been under the care of her sister, Shanelle Gray,
since early October.
A trial to determine if a permanent guardianship is necessary
is scheduled for Dec. 12.
The 14-year-old plays Alex Dunphy on the hit ABC series. She
has been acting since age 7.
Winter’s mother has denied all accusations that she was
abusive to her daughter.
