Big brother is watching.

The star of MTV's Teen Mom, Amber Portwood, has agreed to allow Indiana's child protective services to monitor her for up to six months in the wake of her televised assault on an ex-boyfriend, which sparked hundreds of public complaints questioning her suitability to be a mother.

In the episode that aired last month on the hit MTV reality show, Portwood, 20, was caught on tape hitting and kicking ex-boyfriend Gary Shirley, leading to a flood of calls to the state's watchdog. On the night in question, the Indiana Department of Child Services hotline received 70 calls alone and the current tally is in excess of 300.

Portwood still has custody of their two-year-old daughter Leah and charges have not been filed, despite an ongoing police investigation.

In the meantime, Breaking Celebrity News has learned the mother-of-one has voluntarily agreed to enter into an Informal Adjustment, a program implemented to protect the safety and well-being of a child.

"Amber is under a lot of pressure largely because of media scrutiny and misinformation but what happened today was Amber is going to enter into an informal adjustment with The Division of Child Services," her attorney Robert Schembs said.

The program lasts up to six months, Breaking Celebrity News has learned.

As part of the Informal Adjustment, Portwood may be required to periodically report to a Probation Officer, required to perform community service or other activities and refrain from other activities.

"An informal adjustment means that we are working directly with a family," child services' spokesperson Ann Houseworth told Breaking Celebrity News.
