Jenelle Evans was never anyone’s idea of the perfect mother, but this week’s episode of Teen Mom 2 stunned viewers with the revelation of just how many times Jenelle’s parenting has been called into question by law enforcement.
A visit from the local sheriff’s department prompted Jenelle to remark that Child Protective Services has been called to her home no less than twenty times!
Fans were floored, and many took to social media to demand that Evans’ children be removed from her home pending further investigation.
But if you think Jenelle will be giving up custody without a fight, you don’t know the Carolina Hurricane …
Another Day at Evans Manor
In the episode’s most memorable scene, a TM2 producer alerts Jenelle to the fact that a sheriff is knocking at her door. Evans is remarkably unfazed by this news.
Taking a Chill Pill?
Jenelle gets angry about pretty much everything, and yet the visit from law enforcement seemed to have no effect on her whatsoever. Fans have several theories as to why that might be.
Drugs or Drama?
Are all those pill bottles an indicator that Jenelle is taking something for her agitation? Or has she finally become immune to the constant drama in her life?
Still Stonewalling
But just because she’s able to remain calm, that doesn’t mean Jenelle is happy about the situation. In fact, she flat-out refuses to answer the door.
David to the Rescue
Her husband, David Eason, answers instead, tells the sheriff to kick rocks, and remarkably, it works. But that’s when the real drama begins.
Angry Dave
“Let me get a hold of Nathan,†Eason fumed. “I’m gonna bust his motherf–ker‘s head open.â€Â
Prime Suspect
Jenelle’s previous baby daddy, Nathan Griffith, is a pretty solid guess for who called the cops. But Jenelle has bigger issues on her mind.
The Innocence Report
“There is nothing I did,†Evans told the producer. “I’m so sick of this bull—-. I’ve been here at my house, not worrying about no one. I haven’t hit no one, I haven’t threatened no one.”
Who, Me?!
Yes, Jenelle maintains her total innocence. She just can’t imagine why her neighbors and loved ones would find reason to alert the authorities to her shoddy parenting.
Enemies All Around
And it’s not just members of Jenelle’s inner circle who think she’s the worst. No, pretty much everyone who’s ever seen an episode of TM2 knows this woman has no business raising kids.
Freakin’ Internet!
“We have been harassed by everyone on the Internet,†Jenelle shouted at the sheriff. “By you guys, by my ex. We don’t need it anymore.”
Yes, It’s the NEIGHBORHOOD That’s the Problem!
“I’ve been harassed about this ever since I’ve moved here last February,” Evans continued. “CPS has been here 20 times because of 20 reports and they closed every single one of them. Everything’s fine.â€Â
Twenty. Times.
Understandably, many viewers became fixated on the fact that CPS had visited Evans’ home 20 times in less than a year.
Pointing the Finger
Obviously, Jenelle and David are quick to blame her mother, Barbara Evans, and her ex, but that excuse doesn’t quite hold water.
Spreading the Complaints Around
If it were just Nathan or just Babs reporting Jenelle, the authorities would eventually stop responding. So clearly a LOT of different people are seeing something and saying something.
The Fallout
Of course, in this same episode, David was fired by MTV, but that was for reasons that weren’t directly related to his child-rearing.
The Reason For Canning Eason
David was kicked to the curb for spewing bigoted hatred on social media. Of course, as many fans have pointed out, the fact that he would engage in such blind hatred isn’t exactly a credit to his parenting skills.
Hell For Jenelle
Meanwhile, Jenelle is fighting two custody battles at once, hoping to regain custody of her eldest son Jace and retain custody of her second son Kaiser. Needless to say, the odds aren’t in her favor …
Evidence Galore
The judge in Jenelle’s case literally has hundreds of hours of video evidence indicating that Jenelle is a truly terrible parent. We’re guessing she won’t be receiving many more calls from CPS — primarily because there won’t be any more children under her roof!
