More Reality Abuse Allegations: 'Basketball Wives' Baby Mama Royce Reed Claims Dwight Howard Abuses Their Son, Rockets Baller Filing For Full Custody [DETAILS]

MStars News has learned that Houston Rockets star Dwight Howard was under investigation for child abuse but has since then been cleared.

According to TMZ, law enforcement sources revealed that Howard's baby mama, Basketball Wives star Royce Reed, appeared in Children's Services in the Orlando, Florida, area earlier this year and accused Howard of whooping their 6-year-old son Braylon with a belt, leaving bruises and abrasions to the child's body.

The case worker told Reed to take her son to a medical facility to get him looked at and document his injuries.

When Howard was questioned by authorities, the basketball star admitted he whipped his son with a belt, but was unaware he did anything wrong.

Howard claims belts are a form of discipline that he received when he was younger.

Howard's lawyer filed legal papers denying that the basketball player harmed his son with marks, bruises, welts or injuries that resulted in his son receiving medical treatment.

Sources revealed that Reed's ex was cleared after Children's Services closed the case. The case workers concluded that Braylon's injuries weren't caused by a belt.

But this drama wasn't over, because Howard decided to file legal papers last week requesting for full custody of his son, claiming his ex, Basketball Wives star Royce Reed, is an unfit mother.

Howard accuses Reed of giving their son psychotropic drugs to relieve her of mother duties, as the meds become a "chemical baby-sitter."

Howard's rep says authorities believe the allegations are "frivolous," aka foolish, and says, "It's no coincidence that these false allegations were 'leaked' on the heels of Dwight filing for major custody of his son."

The rep continued, "It is troubling to see a mother use her son as a pawn against his father," and that Dwight will do "whatever is necessary to protect [the child's] welfare and best interests."

It seems Royce also has a second opinion. She claims the case is still an on-going battle. Reed wrote, "Let's get the facts straight! THE CASE IS NOT CLOSED & HE IS/ WAS NOT CLEARED! The investigation is STILL open as he REFUSES to speak to police."

She adds, "So whoever these reps are that are lying & trying to slander me, just know the gloves are off & I'm not the 1 to play with when it comes to my son! That is all!"

But TMZ reports the case was indeed closed: We now have confirmation that the Florida Dept. of Children and Families closed the investigation, concluding, "The investigation is being closed with no substantiated findings of physical injuries." The report also states Howard was interviewed by authorities.

Looks like case closed!
