Jenelle Evans’ ex has claimed that the Teen Mom 2 star left two of her children with caretakers for three weeks. Reportedly, Evans’ two youngest children stayed in Las Vegas during a trip to North Carolina. For her part, Evans has also responded to the allegation.
The Two Youngest Kids Stayed In Las Vegas During The Trip
Nathan Griffith is Evans’ ex and the father of her middle child, Kaiser Orion Griffith. The couple broke up in August 2015 and has fought over custody of their son.
In a recent interview with The U.S. Sun, Nathan has claimed that Evans left her two youngest children, Ensley and Kaiser, alone with babysitters for a period of weeks. The reality star was allegedly in North Carolina, across the country, at the time.
As Nathan shared, “I know she was out and about for almost three weeks, while Kaiser was jumping around with babysitters.” He also claimed, “One time, he was playing out in the streets and somebody had to get him.”
During the interview, Nathan also shared texts he sent to Evans. This included directly accusing her of leaving their son “alone for nearly three weeks unattended with babysitters.”
According to the publication, another source claimed that Evans’ eldest child, Jace, accompanied her to North Carolina. Nathan also claimed that, “I think there’s a lot of things that I don’t know, and I cannot make comment on it, because I’m not in the house.
“But I know what Kaiser has told me. I know the neglect and the abuse that he receives, and there’s really nothing I can do. My expectation is, what’s going to probably have to happen, is another family court case…because she’s already threatening my mom, threatening me about custody and all this stuff.”
The publication also previously reported that the two younger children were seen playing outside their mother’s house by themselves for hours. As one witness claimed, “They seemed to be riding around the blocks and going to a neighbor’s home and coming back.”
Jenelle Evans Herself Also Responded To The Story
Nathan also claimed to the publication that his son was at times punished for things his older brother did. In one alleged incident, Nathan claimed Kaiser had “living crap beat out of him” after Jace threw a rock at their sister.
In addition, Nathan also shared another alleged incident in which Ensley was “messing with [Kaiser] and hitting him and pinching him.” When he pinched back, her father David allegedly pinched the boy “as hard as he could and made him bleed on the arm.” Nathan also claimed his son still retained a scar.
Evans and her manager and boyfriend August Keen also talked to the publication in a phone call. Evans claimed, “Yeah, I would love to comment on that because I had a babysitter for a little bit because I went to North Carolina for court, and I had to get my stuff and then I had to drive it back across the country.” Keen added, “People get nannies and babysitters all the time.”
