Her parents tell her they do not like how she disciplines her kids, or they want her to pay rent, or they want money back she borrowed. These circumstances alone would not constitute a safety risk, but if there are threats of violence or if there has been violence in the past and they are afraid her parents will hurt her or her children, there could be a safety risk.
