If your 16-year-old daughter alleges neglect and abuse, Child Protective Services (CPS) will investigate. Based on their findings, they may recommend custody changes, but the final decision will be made by a court. Additionally, it is illegal in California for anyone to provide alcohol to a minor, including parents and guardians. If the aunt is allowing your daughter to consume alcohol, she could face legal penalties. Consult a local attorney for personalized advice.
