Former “Teen Mom” star Jenelle Evans and her husband David Eason have found themselves in hot water once again, as authorities have launched an investigation into alleged child neglect. This comes after Jenelle’s 14-year-old son, Jace, went missing yet again, prompting concerns about the environment he is living in.
Key Takeaway
Jenelle Evans and David Eason are under investigation for child neglect after Jenelle’s son, Jace, went missing multiple times. Serious concerns were raised when Jace allegedly told authorities about an assault by David, resulting in visible marks on the child’s body. The investigation will determine if there is enough evidence to press charges.
Investigation into Child Neglect
Law enforcement sources have revealed that Jenelle and David are now being scrutinized for possible child neglect following Jace’s recent disappearance. While he was thankfully found soon after being reported missing, this incident, along with two previous instances of running away, has raised serious concerns.
Allegations of Assault
According to sources close to the investigation, the situation may be much more severe than a rebellious teenager acting out. Jace reportedly told authorities that David had allegedly assaulted him. After the most recent incident, the child was found with visible marks on his neck and arm, indicating potential physical abuse.
Evidence in Possession
The alleged assault is believed to have occurred at another person’s residence, and there is Ring camera footage that law enforcement and Child Protective Services now have in their possession. This evidence will play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the investigation.
Possible Serious Charges
If the investigation uncovers substantial evidence of physical abuse, it could lead to serious charges against David. Currently, the focus is on the investigation for child neglect. However, given the gravity of the situation, the authorities will diligently examine all available evidence.
Concerns Over Custody Arrangement
Jenelle, who shares Jace with her first baby daddy Andrew Lewis, has had primary custody for years. However, the recent and recurring incidents have sparked a debate regarding whether the current custody arrangement should be reevaluated.
No Comment from Jenelle and David
Attempts have been made to reach out to Jenelle and David for their comments on the investigation, but no response has been received at the time of writing.
