Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans' husband David Eason, 35, has been charged with child abuse following a series of incidents involving her son Jace, 14. The charge, reported by TMZ, is a misdemeanor. These events sparked an investigation that began after Jace went missing for the third time in six weeks.

Jenelle shares Jace with her ex Andrew Lewis and is also a mother to son Kaiser, 9, with ex Nathan Griffith, and daughter Ensley, 6, with Eason. Since Jace's attempts to run away, he has returned to the care of his maternal grandmother Barbara Evans, with whom he has lived for much of his life.

The probe into the alleged child abuse by Eason and Evans began after Jace's third runaway attempt. In a clip posted on TikTok by Jenelle, she criticized her mother and expressed frustration with social media harassment, while standing by the side of Eason. These events have raised concerns about the safety and well-being of the children.

Further scrutiny was placed upon the couple when they were seen attending the Wilmington Gun & Knife Show in Wilmington, North Carolina on October 15, as reported by TMZ. The gathering took place amidst reports of an ongoing assault and neglect investigation by social workers. Witnesses at the event revealed that Eason and Kaiser were seen looking at various weapons, while Ensley stayed close to her mother. Eason reportedly purchased a bulletproof vest for himself and a wooden battle ax for Kaiser.

The Children's Protective Services (CPS) probe involving Evans and Eason is said to be in its final stages, according to TMZ. It is anticipated that one or both of them may face charges as a result. At an October 11 custody hearing, Eason was removed from the courtroom, and Evans was ordered not to have any contact with Jace unless he initiates it. The court also ruled that Eason cannot have any contact with the teenager who is currently under the care of his grandmother.

Law enforcement officials are investigating allegations of assault against Jace by Eason. According to The Sun, Jace was taken to the hospital the day after the incident, where doctors reportedly found marks on his arms and neck. The investigation appears to be expanding to other children in the family, as Jace has claimed he is not the only one to have suffered physical harm. The seriousness of these allegations has led the judge to take them very seriously and order CPS investigators to speak to Jenelle's other children, Kaiser and Ensley, away from the presence of her and Eason.

A hearing will be held later this month to determine the progress of Jace's living situation with his grandmother. Depending on the results of the investigation, both Evans and Eason could potentially face charges for neglect and assault. The safety and well-being of the children involved remain a top priority as this case unfolds.
