I'm not seeing anything in the media or court records that is a red flag for me with the exception of a possible new case in a neighboring county related to mental health (info further down from Hillsborough County).

Here's her Facebook - several posts on astrology/witchcraft/new age stuff, no mention of children or job. (Not everyone posts that info on FB though, for privacy reasons I never posted on my page about minor children or my job).

In looking at Lena's photos, I thought she looked older than her years which IMO was likely due to smoking/sun/drugs or some combination thereof. Drug use or an addiction might explain past court activity, but there were no drug charges in Pasco County.
So I searched neighboring counties. She had a 2007 misdemeaner case on the books in (last court activity May 28, 2025) in Hillsborough County (just south of where she has lived). Given the charge, likely personal use marijuana. There was also a administrative support order from 2009 (possibly the child(children) from the emergency custody case in 2011).
