Teen Mom star Jenelle Evans is sighing in relief after her teenage son Jace Evans went missing earlier this afternoon. The frantic mother reported her 14-year-old son missing around 2:45 pm on Tuesday. He was last seen leaving his school wearing a gray sweatshirt.
Jace Evans, who was listed as a runaway, has been located and reported safe. A full search was conducted by the Brunswick County, North Carolina Sheriff’s Department this afternoon after the Teen Mom alum called for help in locating her son late this afternoon.
Jenelle Evans’s Son, Jace Evans, Found Safe
New reports from TMZ reveal that Jenelle Evans is happy to report that Jace is back at home and safe and sound. Jenelle tells the entertainment outlet that she had taken away his cell phone after he ran into trouble at school.
Jenelle says that Jace doesn’t agree with his punishment and decides to run off, giving his mom and family quite a scare. “As a boy mom, kids can act up and rebel, as I’m sure the majority of us all did as kids too.”
Teen Mom Star Claims Son’s Troubles Have Nothing To Do With Her Marital Issues
Jenelle told the website’s reporters that “Jace is a good kid and we’re not dealing with anything that most families don’t deal with while raising children. This has absolutely nothing to do with my situation with David. We do not argue in front of our children or fight in front of our kids. This is a teenage boy being a teenager mad that we decided to take away his phone.”
It is unclear at this time where Jace was located. However, many Teen Mom news followers think Jenelle is seemingly talking in circles to the press. For those who may not know, last week, Jenelle lashed out at her spouse David Eason in a lengthy FaceBook post blaming him for her depression.
Jenelle’s Fans Call For Her To Leave David
Following the Teen Mom star’s public rant, her followers quickly began to comment, telling the mother of three to leave David Eason. This is also the same advice her followers have given her for several years.
One commenter writes, “Your peace and mental health are far more important than a Man CHILD. You can and will do better- separate from him.”
Another adds, “He’s nothing without YOU! Take YOUR POWER back! No more allowing men to use you!” “Life is way too short to be miserable. Doing what you need to to be happy is always the right move,” a third writes.

Jenelle Evans and David Eason’s marital issues are not secret to the show’s viewers. The pair first began dating in 2015 and tied the knot in 2017. The couple has many public fights, 911 calls, breakups, and reconciliations.
Her fans say that this time they hope the former Teen Mom will stick to her guns. They agree that she needs to leave this toxic relationship once and for all. Whether or not Jenelle will end her marriage to David this time around remains unknown at this time.
But, for now, Jenelle Evans says she is glad her son Jace Evans is back at home with her and his siblings. Do you believe Jenelle’s excuse for why Jace ran away from home? Or is it just another of her cover-up excuses?
