Why did CPS take Jenelle’s kids away?

Evans was raising her children with her husband David Eason when the incident happened. Police were called to do a wellness check on the kids after it was reported that Eason shot the family’s dog in front of the children.

Eason recently explained his reasons for doing so in he and Evans’ YouTube video “I Have Something to Say.”

“She was a loving dog to me, but she was not loving toward our kids at all,” he said. “I loved the dog, the kids loved it. But she didn’t love the kids. Anytime we were taking a video of the kids riding their bikes, playing outside, we’d have to delete the video, not even be able to post it because she didn’t play nice. She would bite their feet, she would bite the wheels on her bicycle. She wasn’t always vicious, but she had a lot of vicious tendencies. She really was kinda mean. We put up with it for a long time.”

So, in order to protect his daughter, he took matters into his own hands.

“I took it upon myself to put the dog down, and that’s the way his family has always done it when the dog bites somebody,” he said. “There’s been dogs in the past that bit me and my dad put the dog down. A lot of people around here — if your dog goes running in their yard, they’ll just shoot it. They’re not gonna call you and tell you. … That’s something that I would never do.”

Jenelle calls out CPS

Later in that same video, Evans opened up about what happened when CPS took her children away.

“I received a voicemail from Kaiser’s teacher at school and it said that his grandmother came and picked him up,” she said. “She had no rights or grounds. She had no custody.

“CPS came to the daycare and actually was asking her a bunch of questions, they interviewed Kaiser and they didn’t tell her any details about that interview or any allegations or concerns that they had,” she continued.

She alleged that the CPS agent assigned to her case came and illegally took her children without any signed documents allowing her to do so.

Evans was eventually able to bring all three of her children back home. They are now all living with Evans and Eason once again.
