This is what the investigation is for. You don't need to know the outcome before you make the report. Report what you know and let the process work itself out. If one of these situations is present, then the family will be cleared.

I should add that I forgot to add homeless families to the list, including families who are "doubled up" e.g. staying with relatives. We're often talking about our most vulnerable families, putting them through even more stress is burdensome.
