They’re back. Jenelle Evans and her husband, David Eason, headed back to court on May 24 for their fourth court hearing in an effort to regain custody of their kids. Child Protective Services previously removed their children from their home after David, 30, shot and killed the family dog, Nugget. Radar Online was the first to share these photos outside the courthouse. Check out the gallery below.

Not Theirs
They also have Jenelle’s 9-year-old son Jace, whom she shares with her ex-boyfriend Andrew Lewis, and David has a son named Kayden from a previous relationship. But the couple already doesn’t have custody of those kids.

Poor Kids
Ensley, Maryssa and Kaiser live with the couple full time. In a statement to Us Weekly, Jenelle said Kaiser and Ensley “were inside and just got done playing” when David killed their dog, whereas Maryssa “immediately went to her bedroom and didn’t come out all night until the next day.”

Troubling
We can see why the kids being home for that traumatic incident could be troubling to CPS officials. That’s not something children should ever have to witness.

Flipped Out
During their second day in court regarding custody on May 17, David went “off,” according to Radar. “David flipped out,” an insider told the outlet.

Poor Girl
When the couple was allowed to see their kids during a supervised visit on May 17, Maryssa cried after meeting with her dad. “It was supervised with the Sheriff and social services was in the room and Maryssa ran out hysterical crying into her grandmother’s arms,” a source told Radar.

Tough
It’s clearly been a tough situation for the whole family. But ultimately, the courts have to figure out the best situation for these kids.
