Jenelle Evans’ son, Jace, recently checked into a mental health hospital following a 911 call about a troubled teen at his grandmother’s home in North Carolina. According to a police report, seven police officers responded to Barbara Evans’ home on February 22 for what authorities described as a “troubled teen disturbance.” Law enforcement arrived at the residence, where Jace has been living with his grandmother.
Details about what sparked the initial call remain unclear, but sources say the situation was serious enough to prompt further action in the days that followed. Jace is currently receiving professional care at a mental health facility. It is unclear how long he will remain in treatment, but those close to the family say the priority is his health and stability.

As fans of MTV’s ‘Teen Mom’ know, Jace’s upbringing has played out publicly for years, with custody issues between Jenelle and Barbara often making headlines. Despite past tensions, both are focused on making sure Jace gets the help and support he needs. A representative for Jenelle told TMZ, “At this time, we have no comment on the matter. We’re unable to discuss this issue because it involves confidential personal matters.”
In August, Jace publicly shared text messages between himself and Jenelle in which he called her “crazy” and alleged mistreatment. Jenelle responded, defending her actions as discipline amid ongoing family strife.
