Jenelle Evans‘ son Jace is back at her home, nearly one month after the former Teen Mom: The Next Chapter star called 911, asking police for help after the 15-year-old ran away multiple times and destroyed items in her Las Vegas rental home.
The Sun broke the news on Wednesday— and The Ashley can confirm— that Jace is once again living with Jenelle, after spending nearly a month away from her home. (For privacy reasons, The Ashley is not revealing where Jace was during this period.) Jenelle’s manager-turned-soulmate “August Keen” confirmed to The Sun that Jace is back with Jenelle, but would not comment further.
The Ashley can reveal, however, that Jenelle picked Jace up on Monday.
“Finances played a major part in Jace coming home,” the source said.
The source also revealed that CPS is still involved in Jace’s case, and that he hasn’t been put back into school yet, although “that is the plan right now. They don’t plan to homeschool him.”
Jenelle— who never lost custody of Jace, even though he was removed from her physical care and home— will be making decisions for Jace’s future.
“The plan so far is for Jace to continue to live with Jenelle,” the source added. “This is the first time all three of Jenelle’s kids have all been under her roof in several months.”
(As The Ashley previously reported, Jace was removed from Jenelle’s home on October 20, just a day or so after Jenelle flew to Tennessee to pick up her middle son, Kaiser, whom she had left with his paternal grandmother to live. After Kaiser had been living with his grandma, Doris Davidson, for several weeks, Jenelle suddenly reversed her decision and took Kaiser home with her, much to Doris’ surprise and dismay.)
As for Jenelle’s Vegas rental home, the source said that the damage done by Jace on October 20 totaled “thousands of dollars.”
As The Ashley previously reported, Jenelle frantically called 911 to report that Jace was mad and “started smashing things” in her home. In the audio of the 911 call– which was obtained by The Ashley and posted below— Jenelle says that he had run away twice in one weekend.

“He smashed his door, my door, a closet door,” Jenelle said. “…Now everything in my house is, like, smashed, and it keeps happening and the cops said they wouldn’t help yesterday [when Jace ran away the first time].”
Later in the call, Jenelle revealed that she believes Jace smokes weed, and that he “drinks behind my back.” She added that Jace’s alleged smoking played a part in causing their argument the day before, in addition to Jenelle confiscating his pocketknife.
“He’s mad that I took that away,” she tells the 911 operator.
It’s been a very busy month for Jenelle. As The Ashley previously reported, she flew to North Carolina last week, where she filed charges against her soon-to-be ex-husband David Eason (which resulted in him being arrested this weekend). Jenelle is also currently battling David in divorce court in North Carolina.
The Ashley will update this story when more info is available…

Imagine being Jenelle and trying to tell your teenager not to smoke and drink while you were on camera at close to his age doing the same bullshit and neglecting said child.
Karma is a queen.
Jenelle should have just stayed in NC at the swamp, finished this child’s schooling, he has to be a sophomore or junior, yes?
Sent Kaiser to Doris.
She had a stable home, she had close relatives to step in. And she may have even kept her MTV welfare.
No. She had to high tail it to Vegas where she could drink and drug and whore it up with this “”manager””, who managed to help Jenelle lose a decent source of income.
If she focused less on revenge on David, who isn’t innocent in any of this, and maybe focused on her kids for just one second, Jace may avoid going to jail, bc that’s what’s next for him.
what exactly was her “decent income”?!
Cops being called back to Jenelle s in 3 2 1……I give it a week.
Couldn’t she pay for Jace’s care with her only fans money?
The “system” in multiple states has failed this child miserably. My heart breaks for this young man.
Well I guess CPS in Nevada is just as bad as CPS in North Carolina. I pray for those kids!
I pray for the kids too, but no way should they have put him back in her house, when he doesn’t get his way he will destroy it more.
Jenelle managed to ruined Jace and Kaiser’s life and she’ll probably ruin Ensley’s life as well. Now she has a 16 yo smoking weed, drinking and carrying pocket knives (while probably don’t using his prescribed medication because “she believes it’s not necessary”) and a 11 yo vaping. One of them is getting arrested soon, remember my words.
I don’t think there’s any “probably” about it; any and all children are guaranteed to be doomed if left in Jenelle’s care.
This poor kid will never escape. CPS just keeps handing him right back. There is a reason that he has run away multiple times.
As abusive and disgusting as he was, we all know UBT was the one doing any of the actual parenting. I hate to give him any credit at all, but the kids probably would have starved and sat in dirty diapers surrounded by trash when they were small if it had been up to Jenelle. The only reason they’re not being physically neglected right now is because they’re old enough to fend for themselves/each other more and I’m sure November is taking on some of it to ensure his “job” as manager/soulmate.
These poor kids have been failed by almost all the adults around them time and time again.
Sorry, this was supposed to be a reply to FlowerG at the bottom of the comments.
I also hate to say it but I totally agree. David has many faults but it seems he took on the role of caregiver to all of them, even Jenelle. Jenelle couldn’t seem to care less about the kids. It’s good for her image (she seems to think) that they are in her custody, but her caring ends there.
November, lol
So the only reason he’s back is because whoever had him couldn’t afford to take care of him?
It’s heartbreaking (although not surprising) to know that the little boys we all watched grow up is already on a bad path. I pray he can straighten up in spite of Jenelle and lead a good life.
When you’re a shitty parent, your kids learn shitty things from you
CPS Is a joke.. They seem to really enjoy leaving kids and really shitty situations. I hope harmony Montgomery’s mother does sue the c mcps for putting her in her father’s possession.And I hope that makes changes for the innocent kids to end of dead, because their parents are pieces of shit
I feel so sorry for those children. They don’t have a fighting chance with Jenelle as their “mother” and I don’t even get why she won’t give them up. Are they a nice addition to her bank account? Cause she surely doesn’t seem to keep them because she likes being a mother. I hope they grow up and cut her out. Maybe then their lives will turn out alright.
This is ridiculous. Those poor kids have no chance in hell. 5+ parents between them all sharing 2 brain cells. Someone needs to step up and get those kids out of there.
Who are these people deciding these things? I bet if someone monitored how she raised them for 24 hours they’d all be removed immediately. Does she even spend time with them besides take them out for outings for photo ops and presents? Tell them she loves them? Play board games with them? (Didn’t she accuse Barb of not doing this?) And don’t get me started on the laundry, cooking, school drop offs!

Unfortunately, I don’t think it is that they want to give him back toJenelle, but more that there is quite literally no place else for him to go. I cannot stand Jenelle, but the one advantage to the children being with her is that many people are watching.
The standard to remove a child is actually pretty high. Especially when they are older and capable of doing things for themselves. Jenelle is a totally shitty parent but she falls more into the category of neglect rather than abuse. Really only a serious beating from David or one of her soulmates or sexual abuse would get them removed at this point.
