What happened to Jace Evans?

Jace has gone missing three times in less than two months since he turned 14 years old. In mid-August, Jace ran from his school after having a heated argument with a teacher. 

According to an incident report, he left the school on foot before search dogs were sent out. Police found out he was hiding behind his school in the trees due to his Snapchat location.

Shortly after he was found safe, Jenelle said in a statement, as per The Sun: “Jace is a good kid, and we’re not dealing with anything that most families don’t deal with while raising children.”

‘I need to protect my son’s mental health’

Jenelle revealed that she “needs her son’s mental health protected” in a recent video, where she is seen crying. The Teen Mom star addressed her strained relationship with her mother in the caption.

Just a few days before, after Jace was located, the reality star said she “wants to keep her content away from the drama right now” and asked for privacy. She wrote: “Time for healing and moving forward.”

Jace Evans went missing several days after he turned 14 on August 3. Jenelle wrote: ” Happy birthday to Jace! You’re growing into a such polite young man. I’m happy as long as you’re happy!”
