Former “Teen Mom” star Jenelle Evans has revealed that she is taking parenting classes – for the fifth time.
According to InTouch Weekly, Evans is taking parenting classes amidst an “ongoing custody battle over Jace, 14, following several runaway attempts.”
TMZ reported that Evans’ husband David Eason is facing a felony child abuse accusation relating to her son. Eason was accused of injuring Jace last fall, according to TMZ.
According to TMZ, in November, Jace was taken into the custody of Child Protective Services after running away. Jace was staying with Evans’ mom, Barbara, at one point, TMZ reported.

Let them say whatever about us because we will be just fine. I love youuu babeeeee 💋❤️” she wrote in November.
According to The Sun, these posts upset Jace and led to CPS seeking a gag order against Evans.

The charges were filed against Evans’ husband in October, according to The Sun, over a September accusation.

On January 3, Evans posted on Instagram, “Always grateful to celebrate this holiday with #Family 🥳❤️🎉 #HappyNewYear.”

Her Instagram page contains many photos showing her with her two children.
According to InTouch Weekly, MTV cut ties with Eason and Evans when Eason “posted homophobic and transphobic tweets” and then “shot their family dog Nugget.”
