“The investigation was not closed on schedule for a reason. The DCFS investigation is now going to continue for at least several more weeks,” an official source said.

According to the source, the DCFS is heavily investigating a new accusation that Pitt harmed some of his children by verbally abusing them on many occasions.

“Now, DCFS is interviewing many people to determine if they are witnesses to any improper behaviour by Pitt as well as searching for others who have knowledge of his actions. That includes nannies, household staff members and more.The fact that the investigation was extended is an indication of how serious this is,” the source added.
