The investigators looked into this, but did not find sufficient evidence of abuse to remove Collin or any of Kate's children from her home, even temporarily.
Apparently that was not the first time that concerned parties tried to determine if Kate was an unfit mother, though.
Court documents from 2010, which leaked today, show that Kate's ex, Jon Gosselin, desperately tried to convince a judge that Kate should not be permitted to raise children.
The documents detail an incident that occurred on Octover 19, 2010, in which Jon claims that he found physical evidence of abuse, including a "large red welt" on daughter Leah's backside that he discovered while bathing her.
"[Leah] later explained that it was from Mother after Leah bit Hannah," the document explains.
Moreover, the documents claim that "several children have come forward to Father complaining that they get hurt when Mother spanks them."
"While Father would prefer that Mother not physically discipline the children, if Mother is going to do so, she should do so without leaving any physical marks."
The documents also include Jon's other complaints. Among them?
That Kate does not properly dress her children for the weather and has sent them out in frigid temperatures wearing cowboy boots and Uggs, rather than proper winter boots.
Sounds about right.
Five years later, of course, Jon and Kate are still publicly bickering and accusing each other of being unfit parents ... some things never change.
If they wind up in court again, we think Jon Gosselin should just take our list of the worst Kate Gosselin scandals with him as evidence:
Kate Gosselin was reportedly the subject of a new investigation by the Berks County Pennsylvania Department of Children & Youth Services. Find out why now.
Kate Gosselin admitted to physically abusing her children in her journal. Author Robert Hoffman cites one specific incident in which she attacked her son Colin.
Kate Gosselin is spending money like it's going out of style. The only problem? With eight kids and a lifestyle she can no longer support, her income can't match those habits.
