She has an explanation, OK? Former Teen Mom star Jenelle Evans’ mom, Barbara Evans, posted a photo of some of her grandkids on Instagram, and one commenter pointed out that her granddaughter, Ensley, didn’t seem particularly pleased in the shot. In fact, they noted that the little girl looked “so sad” in the pic, which is especially telling since her parents, Jenelle, 27, and David Eason don’t currently have custody of her. Check out the gallery below to learn more.

Where Are They?

However, the couple currently doesn’t have custody of any of those kids. For a while now, David hasn’t had custody of Kaden and Jenelle didn’t have custody of Jace — her mom, Barb, did.

Lost

The duo lost custody of the rest of the children in a recent legal battle. Jenelle lost custody of Kaiser just days after the Columbus County Department of Social Services in North Carolina opened a case against her and her husband following his dog killing incident.

Removed

In mid-May, CPS removed Ensley and Jenelle’s stepdaughter, Maryssa, from her home with David as well. It’s possible the agency believed the kids not being cared for properly there after David shot and killed Jenelle’s dog, Nugget.

Poor Kids

Jenelle told Us Weekly that Kaiser and Ensley “were inside and just got done playing” when David killed their dog, while his 11-year-old daughter, Maryssa, “immediately went to her bedroom and didn’t come out all night until the next day.” Poor kids.
