That is, of course, depending on if he actually revealed the Family connection to them. He keeps everything very close to the vest. I don't think it is likely he told CJ. Otherwise, she may not have allowed him to talk to Simeon and given him the chance to complete his assassination. Of course, if he told her everything, she would probably have thought it was a just sentence for Simeon.

So, do you think he told Bogart, Jodi, or CJ about his ties to the Families? Will he keep CJ and his child secret from the rest of the family? If Jeremy is a big figure in the leadership, his child might be heir to the reigns of power someday.
Well he recorded what he said and did to Simeon and left it for CJ in way of explanation. And she has experience and knowledge of the Families to put some pieces together. I'm sure she would keep that information in the back of her mind always when it comes to her daughter. Which is probably why she wants her daughter trained to fight so that she has a better chance to protect herself.
CJ has the habit of keeping secrets. She still keeps Nicholas's secret from the rest of the colony. So keeping the secret about her daughter would be just another to tuck away.
Now that I have been thinking about "the Family", I think the best Bogart and Jodi could hope for is a place or rank in the organization. But they wouldn't be "IN" the family. Again, I am working on assumptions at this point.
