Jenelle Evans’ son Kaiser was recently the victim of a crime, and the fired Teen Mom star is being criticized not only for allowing it to happen, but for telling the world about it.
On Thursday, Jenelle’s manager-turned-booooooyfriend, “August Keen” gave an interview to Celebuzz about Kaiser recently being robbed by older kids at a park near Jenelle’s Las Vegas home. Although there was no actual need to share this news with The Interwebs, “August” still regaled the clickbait site with the tale how the 10-year-old had his bike and money stolen.
“Me and Jenelle were in the house and Kaiser came upstairs crying,” Jenelle soulmate-ager, “August” told the clickbait site. “Kaiser was at the park and basically some group of kids came up to him and they roughed him up a little and threw him off the bike and stole his bike. And they also took his money that he had in his wallet which was like fifty bucks.”
According to “August,” the money-grabbing hooligans were a group of about five older kids.
Before running to the clickbait site to cash in on Kaiser’s traumatizing event, “August” and Jenelle did call the police. (The Ashley can confirm that a call was made to the police last weekend, regarding a robbery near that park.)
According to “August,” he and Jenelle went to the park to meet with police and talk about the theft.
“[August] explained that their entire family was there together with police,” the article reads.
“The police advised us to go to local middle schools and high schools and look at the bike racks to see if one of the kids rode the bikes to school,” Jenelle’s new soulmate stated, adding that they are also calling on Kaiser’s high-school-aged half-brother, Jace, to look for Kaiser’s stolen bike at his school.
According to “August,” Kaiser is handling the situation well.
“He’s good. He’s a tough guy,” “August” said of Kaiser.
“He hasn’t asked to go back to the park, so I think in that sense he’s a little nervous to go back to that same park,” he added. “He doesn’t seem shaken up. He was cool, calm and collected. He won’t be going to the park any time soon by himself and we’ll be looking for these kids.”
“August” then bragged that such crimes are rare in the “high-end neighborhood” in Las Vegas that Jenelle is currently shacking up in.
“It’s listed as one of the safest places in all of Las Vegas,” August insisted. “Two of the police officers live in the same neighborhood and go to the same park.”
As The Ashley previously reported, Jenelle has stated that Kaiser has struggled since moving to Las Vegas last year. Back in September, Jenelle sent Kaiser to Tennessee to live with his paternal grandmother, Doris Davidson indefinitely; however, Kaiser’s visit was short-lived. After fans started criticizing Jenelle for shipping her kid off (and for the way she did it), Jenelle reversed her decision and flew back to Tennessee to fetch Kaiser.
Since then, Kaiser has been living with Jenelle in Las Vegas.
Jenelle’s fans were not thrilled that the ‘Teen Mom’ star decided to use Kaiser’s unfortunate incident as a way to make quick cash via the clickbait site.
“Dang Jenelle, I like you but this is monetizing your child,” one person wrote in the comment section of Jenelle’s post about the incident on Facebook.
“Why is she using this for content?” another asked.
Many fans also opined that Kaiser, at 10, may be too young to be allowed at a park by himself.
“Why is your 10yr old at the park alone and y’all were upstairs? Not even like outside the house, walking around,” one person wrote in Jenelle’s post’s comment section.
“He’s frigging 10! Where were you?!? Or another supervising adult?” another person asked.
