Brad Pitt not being investigated for child abuse by LAPD
The Los Angeles Police Department released a statement to ET on Thursday in regard to reports that they were investigating Brad Pitt for allegedly being physically and verbally abusive with one of the six children he shares with Angelina Jolie.
The LAPD says they have not received any reports or phone calls about an incident that allegedly occurred on the couple's private plane while Jolie and some of their kids were present.
"The LAPD is not handling any reports or allegations into child abuse for Mr. Brad Pitt," the public information officer told ET. "Police officials said that any suspicions of child abuse within their jurisdiction are fully investigated. Had police received a call regarding child abuse, there would be a record of that initial investigation. In this case, there simply was not."

The L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services also told ET that they are "never allowed to comment" on matters that involve minors.
In addition, ET reached out to Pitt and Jolie's reps.
Jolie, 41, filed for divorce from Pitt on Monday and requested full physical custody of the children, Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 8. She is also asking for shared legal custody of the kids, and cites irreconcilable differences as the reason for the couple's split.

If physical custody is granted to Jolie, the kids would live with her full-time, and be allowed visits and sleepovers with their father.
After the couple's secret nuptials in France in August 2014, Jolie revealed to Vanity Fair the wedding vows that her and Pitt's kids wrote for their famous parents. "They did not expect us never to fight, but they made us promise to always say, 'Sorry,' if we do," she shared.
