Jenelle Evans Spent Weeks Away From Her Youngest Kids
Nathan Griffith, the father of Jenelle Evans‘ second child, isn’t happy with the care his son is receiving. Griffith, who briefly appeared on Teen Mom 2 with Evans, has been opening up about his son and the neglect he faces.
His recent comments come after Evans relinquished custody of the boy to Griffith’s mother, only to turn around and take him back, all while reportedly threatening the family. In his most recent interview, Griffith accuses the mother of three of dumping her kids off with a babysitter for weeks on end while she was spending time clear across the country.
Nathan Griffith reveals that Jenelle Evans spent 3 weeks away from her kids
Nathan Griffith isn’t impressed by Jenelle Evans’ parenting. He seems to have a particular issue with her use of long-term babysitters. Griffith told the U.S. Sun that his ex-fiancee has been increasingly lax with her parenting since moving from North Carolina to Las Vegas in May.
The troubled father of two told the publication that he is aware his son, Kaiser Griffith, bounced around between multiple babysitters while his mother was handling legal issues in North Carolina in August. She was living thousands of miles away from her 10-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter for more than three weeks. He alleges the boy had so little supervision that he was found playing in the street at one point.
While Nathan is concerned about the lack of supervision that his son is receiving while living in Las Vegas, Jenelle Evans insists it’s just fine. Evans has been relatively quiet on social media since her eldest son, Jace Evans, was removed from her home following a fight that warranted a 911 call. Still, she did address Nathan’s accusations with the publication.
The U.S. Sun connected with Evans following its interview with Griffith. Evans told the outlet that she had a babysitter to watch her kids while she was in North Carolina. She sees nothing wrong with the decision. Neither does her boyfriend. August Keen also spoke to the publication. He said people get babysitters and nannies “all the time.”
‘Teen Mom’ fans have raised alarm bells over the babysitters, too
Nathan Griffith isn’t the first person to draw attention to Evans’ lack of parenting. He’s not the first person to notice her desire to leave her kids behind to do whatever she pleases. Teen Mom fans questioned exactly who Kaiser and his younger sister, Ensley Eason, were spending time with while Evans spent weeks in North Carolina in August. Reddit users were heartbroken to see Evans’ youngest children heading to school for their first day in a new city without a parent or trusted loved one by their side.
In more recent months, social media followers have questioned exactly who watches the children when Evans is out and about with August Keen. They are especially concerned about the nights the duo appears to party well into the evening. Some followers assumed Evans and Keen were leaving the childcare tasks up to Jace Evans. Now that the teen no longer lives with his mother and her boyfriend, he’s no longer a viable option.
