Jenelle Evans' son, Jace, has entered a mental health treatment center after a troubling incident at his grandmother's home. The 911 call on February 22 involved a 'troubled teen disturbance' in North Carolina, prompting a police response. Sources emphasize that his health and stability are the top priorities now.
Oh, the drama in the Teen Mom world never ends, does it? 😩 Jenelle Evans' son, Jace, recently checked into a mental health hospital, TMZ has learned from sources familiar with the situation. It all stems from a 911 call late last month at Barbara Evans' home in North Carolina, where Jace has been living with his grandmother.
On February 22, authorities responded to what they described as a "troubled teen disturbance." A police report notes that seven cops showed up at the residence—talk about a serious scene! Details on what exactly sparked the call are unclear, but it was bad enough to lead to Jace getting professional care in the days after.
Right now, Jace is receiving treatment at a mental health facility. Sources close to the family say the focus is entirely on his health and stability, though it's unclear how long he'll be there. A rep for Jenelle tells TMZ, "At this time, we have no comment on the matter. We're unable to discuss this issue because it involves confidential personal matters."
Fans know Jace's story all too well from MTV's Teen Mom—custody battles between Jenelle and Barbara have been headline fodder for years. Despite the past tensions, sources insist both women are united in supporting Jace through this.
Flashback to August: Jace went public with text messages to Jenelle, calling her "crazy" and alleging mistreatment, even bringing up old abuse claims tied to her ex, David Eason. Jenelle clapped back, saying the texts were taken out of context and that her actions were just discipline amid the family mess.
So, with all this public scrutiny, will Jace get the quiet healing he needs? Fingers crossed the Evans fam keeps it together this time.
