Honey Boo Boo's family is being investigated by Child Protective Services in Georgia after Mama June reportedly started dating a convicted sex offender accused of abusing one of her daughters. CPS formally opened an investigation to determine if any crimes have been committed against June Shannon's youngest children - Lauryn 'Pumpkin' Shannon, 14, Jessica 'Chubbs', 17, and nine-year-old Alana, also known as Honey Boo Boo - after calls from the public, according to RadarOnline. Mama June has been spotted with child molester Mark McDaniel, and he was pictured with Alana just last month, according to photos obtained by TMZ. Another of June's children, 20-year-old Anna, has claimed that McDaniel sexually assaulted her when she was younger.
