The infamous Teen Mom Jenelle Evans’ son has been hogging the spotlight since last month. He gained attention after he escaped her mother’s home for the third time in September. Soon after his recovery, he accused his stepdad, David, of assault.

Teen Mom: Jace Evans May End Up In Foster Care Soon!
Teen Mom alum Jenelle Evans’ son Jace escaped his mother’s house several times during the course of a month. He was thus placed in his grandma Barbara’s care for almost a month, until recently when he slid away from her house. This was his fourth runaway attempt in the last two months.
Soon after his third escape on September 28, when he accused his stepdad of assaulting him. His case was looked upon by the officials who later charged him with a misdemeanor count of child abuse. Jenelle’s husband is thus due in court at the end of this month.
At the time, TMZ reported that Child Protective Services was furious with his repeated escapes. They said that the officials are concerned for his safety, but they could send him to a “juvenile detention facility” if he ends up getting in trouble again.
Now that fourteen-year-old Jace is hospitalized, he will be sent to foster care by Child Protective Services (CPS) soon after he is released. He was seemingly merely a few weeks away from finding a permanent living arrangement. But his irresponsible escape will take him in foster care this time.
Teen Mom: Why Did Jace Disappear From Barbara’s House?
Teen Mom 2 alum Jenelle Evans’ son Jace’s recent runaway reportedly came after his grandma took his phone. She did so as a punishment after he got in trouble for vaping at his school. The teen boy escaped her house on Saturday, November 18, and was later discovered almost two days after the escape on Sunday, November 19.
However, Barbara was earlier advised by CPS, Jenelle, and the foster care team to keep Jace away from the phone. But she gave him the phone under her care, believing that he was capable of handling it. The grandma was certainly wrong, as it led to his fourth escape.
Jace will now go into foster care as he continues with his careless runaway attempts. He is likely not to return under mother Jenelle Evans or grandma Barbara Evans’ care, at least for now. What do you think of his grandma’s decision to give him a phone despite the warnings by the officials?
Do you expect her to face consequences for her negligence? What do you think of CPS’s decision to take him into foster care straight after he gets out of the hospital? Sound off in the comment section below. And keep coming back to TV Season & Spoilers for the latest Teen Mom tea!
