i have almost the same size res in my home and i bought a baby ( tiny) and he literally tried to bite his leg off... it broke my heart to see my little baby injured i would highly advise nottttttttt to put them together... these larger turtles are too aggressive

In a small tank- they will harass and bite it a lot.
If you have a proper sized habitat- over 10 gallons of actual water per inch of turtle- it should be OK. Just be sure that there are a lot of good hidy holes and basking sites.

Turtles are not territorial creatures. The only injuries to your smaller turtle would be possible accidental injuries. like others have mentioned make sure you keep on eye on them, and also make sure there is enough space for all three to live comfortably.

The larger ones could injure, kill or even eat the little one. They should be roughly the same size before you consider putting them together.

No, they shouldn't do anything to the baby. Just keep an eye on them to be sure.
