Teen Mom Jenelle Evans’ eldest son, Jace, has become the talk of the town for the last few months. He escaped four times in the last couple of months. The teen boy recently ran away from his grandma Barbara’s home after being under her care for almost a month.
Jace has lived with his grandma ever since he was a baby, so fans are wondering why he ran away from her home. Read further to know the real reason for his latest runaway!
Teen Mom: Why Did Jace Run Away From Barbara’s Home?
Teen Mom star Jenelle Evans got custody of her son Jace in March this year, but he did not stay with her for long. The teen boy was sent back to his grandma Barbara’s care after he ran away for the third time in the month of September.
This was when the Teen Mom alum’s husband, David, allegedly assaulted her fourteen-year-old boy. Jace was staying with Barbara for almost a month when he ran away from her house. Unfortunately, this was his fourth escape in the last couple of months.
Multiple sources have confirmed that his latest escape was over a cell phone. As per TMZ, the former Teen Mom’s eldest son ran away from his grandma’s home after she took away his phone as a punishment.
This came after Jace Evans was caught using a vape in his school. The source reveals that his run-away attempt took place merely a few hours after Barbara took his phone, followed by a confrontation.
The police caught up with the fourteen-year-old kid after he went missing for almost two days. This was the longest time Jace was on the run, as he was earlier caught up within one day of his escape.
Teen Mom: Where Is Jace After His Recent Escape?
Jace Evans’ placement with Barbara after his third escape looked like his permanent placement. But this did not last for long as he slid out of her home last weekend after she took away his phone. The officers previously revealed that he was taken straight to the hospital after he was caught almost two days after his disappearance.
However, the police have kept the teen’s current placement under wraps for security reasons. But he is likely to end up in foster care. During the time of his third runaway attempt, reports say that officials were concerned for his safety. Thus, the officers claimed to send him to a “juvenile detention facility” if he ever got in trouble again.
Jace Evans was merely a few weeks away from finding a permanent placement for himself. But his recent irrational escape is likely to send him to foster care. Do you still expect him to be placed with either Jenelle or Barbara? Do you believe Jace’s recent escape came after his grandma took his phone?
