Teen Moms star Jenelle Evans has once again found herself in a distressing situation as her son went missing… again. This latest unfortunate event has sparked concern among fans and the public alike. Thankfully, he was located and now this latest situation has prompted Jenelle to speak out about the incident.
As a well-known figure in the reality TV world, Jenelle’s personal life has often been under scrutiny. However, when it comes to the safety and well-being of her children, she’s making it known how crucial it is to approach such matters with empathy and understanding, something she’s looking for with her supporters and other parents who might understand where she’s coming from.
The Teen Mom alum gave followers an update on her son Jace following the two recent incidents in which the 14-year-old has run away from home. She said in an Aug. 30 TikTok, A lot of my son’s actions is being pinned against me. And I’m getting a lot of hate, a lot of comments, and it just keeps going and going.”
“My son has been having a hard time for the past two, three years,” she continued. “None of this has gone public because we’re trying to keep his privacy. Me and my mom, when she gave me custody, she’s like, ‘Oh we’re just getting along, I’m just gonna give Jenelle back,’ Well, there was a big reason behind why I got him back.”
Evans went on to reassure her fans that Jace is doing ok since returning home. “My son is fine. He’s healthy and he’s safe,” the 31-year-old added. “Due to my son’s mental health, none of this is going to be shared and I don’t really want to go into detail with anything. So if you can kindly give us the privacy, give my son the privacy, right now, I’d appreciate it.”
Earlier this month, Jace first ran away from home after his phone was taken away, Evans offered some helpful advice to parents who may be dealing with the same issues with their kids.
“I will say one thing, monitor your kids’ phones,” she added in the TikTok. “Because you know, I monitor my kid’s phone, and sometimes they get in trouble, sometimes they need it taken away for consequences to their actions. But sometimes they don’t take that too lightly.”
