Jenelle Evans' four-year-old son Kaiser was 'picked up by child protective services' on Friday, just weeks after her husband David Eason admitted to shooting and killing their family dog Nugget.

Sources told Us Weekly that Jenelle is 'trying to get Kaiser back' into her North Carolina home.
TMZ reported that her nine-year-old son, Jace, is also not allowed 'back to Jenelle's home to visit' and will stay with her mother Barbara who already has custody of the little boy.
Shortly after news broke that Jenelle's husband viciously murdered their dog in front of Kaiser, Nathan called authorities to ask for a welfare check, according to TMZ.
'I guess there was a dispute with my ex-fiancée and her husband and he shot a dog. And there’s been multiple 911 calls of abuse,' he said in the 911 call. 'And I’m just trying to figure out where my son’s at and what I should do in this situation right now. I’m just so confused right now … I just want to make sure my son is safe.'

Jenelle posted on Monday afternoon that '#MothersDay wasn't the cookout I expected and planned with all my kids' as she shared a photo milking a goat.
She was recently fired from her hit show Teen Mom 2 and may have a difficult time making a name for herself on Marriage Boot Camp as TMZ reported that her husband David Eason must be 'evaluated by a psychologist' before the couple signs a contract.
Eason could be a 'safety risk to Jenelle, the other cast members and the crew,' and producers will not approve the couple unless he passes the test.
In addition to killing their family dog, producers are reportedly worried about David's affinity for weapons.

Jenelle s is reportedly 'focusing on her family' now that MTV has parted ways with the reality star and her large brood after following her for eight years, according to People.
The 27-year-old was 'very grateful' for the opportunity to star on Teen Mom 2 (a spin-off from the network's 16 and Pregnant), a representative said in a statement.
'Jenelle is focusing on her family and moving forward,' Evans' management and representative team said. 'She is very grateful and appreciative of the opportunity MTV have given her and her family for the last 10 years. It is sad to part ways in this matter but this isn't the end of Jenelle Evans or her family.'
Evans was released from her contract with MTV on Tuesday after her husband murdered their pet bulldog Nugget when the puppy nipped at their daughter Ensley, two, which he had been videotaping from the other side of the room.
The reality star and husband David Eason have been married since 2017.

Her time on Teen Mom 2 came to an end thanks to the actions of her husband, which also affected castmember Briana DeJesus who was reportedly turned away from 'two restaurants' in Florida because owners were 'so upset over the dog killing', according to TMZ.
MTV announced on Tuesday that Evans would not appear on any upcoming seasons, according to Us Weekly.
'MTV ended its relationship with David Eason over a year ago in February 2018 and has not filmed any new episodes of Teen Mom 2 with him since,' an MTV spokesperson said. 'Additionally, we have stopped filming with Jenelle Eason as of April 6, 2019 and have no plans to cover her story in the upcoming season.'
The end: MTV announced on Tuesday that Jenelle, shown in April 2016 with David in Burbank, California, would not appear on any upcoming seasons, according to Us Weekly
It was earlier reported by TMZ that Evans and Eason were going to appear on Marriage Boot Camp, but she later denied it as a rumor and We TV also refuted it.
'WE tv has no plans to cast Jenelle Evans on Marriage Boot Camp,' the network said Wednesday in a statement.
MTV originally kicked Eason off the show following a series of homophobic tweets and Evans was subsequently featured less often due to the difficulties of shooting around her husband.

The animal cruelty incident led to an advertiser exodus, though it's not clear if the companies will be returning to the series now that Jenelle is out of the picture.
Brands including Chipotle, Dove Chocolates, TWIX, Greenies pet treats and Persil ProClean have all withdrawn from the program.
Evans and Eason share a two-year-old daughter Ensley, and she also shares nine-year-old Jace with Andrew Lewis and four-year-old Kaiser with Nathan Griffin.

It was Griffin who revealed Eason's alleged animal cruelty. After hearing that her husband had shot their dog, he requested a wellness check on his son, believing that he had been in the house at the time of the shooting, according to TMZ.
He shared a video on social media of the small dog being baited to nip the girl's face.
Eason took to his HickTownKing Instagram page and posted the clip showing Nugget on the couch with his daughter Ensley who tries to go in for a kiss.
Photos: He also shared a photo of a tearful toddler after the incident with a slight red welt on her cheek, the skin having not been broken by the dogs teeth
Instead of intervening between the animal, who is clearly uncomfortable as it cowers and pulls away from the little girl, Eason sits across the room and films the dog nip back at the girls face, causing her to cry.
He also shared a photo of a tearful toddler after the incident with a slight red welt on her cheek, the skin having not been broken by the dogs teeth.
'I don't give a d*mn what animal bites my baby on the face. Whether it be your dog or mine, a dog is a dog and I don't put up with that s*** at all. I'm all about protecting my family, it is my life's mission. Some people are worth killing or dying for and my family means that much to me,' he wrote.
'You can hate me all you want but this isn't the first time the dog bit Ensley aggressively. The only person that can judge whether or not an animal is a danger to MY CHILD is ME.'
Not backing down: 'I don't give a damn what animal bites my baby on the face. Whether it be your dog or mine, a dog is a dog and I don't put up with that s*** at all'
According to TMZ, Janelle's friends and family members have called Child Protective Services to have her husband removed from the house.
The friends and family are reportedly worried about the three children still living in the home, and there's also concern surrounding Jenelle's pitbull, Jax.
Eason has reportedly shot the animal prior with a bb gun, and they worry he may lash out further.
So far, law enforcement members have been hesitant to enter Jenelle and David's property due to multiple no trespassing signs and the presence of the pitbull.
Concern: In addition to killing the little French Bulldog, Eason has reportedly shot Jenelle's pitbull Jax prior with a bb gun
In North Carolina, killing a dog is a Class H Felony under the Animal-Cruelty statute, but officials told TMZ on Wednesday that they will only go after David if Jenelle reports him, something she has so far refused to do.
David posted multiple photos of his extensive gun collection, including a screed from December when he criticized President Donald Trump for banning bump stocks, a modification to semi-automatic rifles allowing them to fire faster, mimicking fully automatic weapons.
He also mentioned in the post that the Secret Service had visited him due to his seemingly threatening statements.

The horrifying dog murder came six months after Jenelle accused her husband of breaking her collarbone while violently 'pinning her down on the ground.'
'He got violent because he's been drinking,' Evans sobbed to the 911 operator in October.
'I'm recovering from a surgery on Monday. I can't breathe. I have four kids in the house with me right now. They're all sleeping. I don't know what to do. He left the house. I don't know what to do right now.'
Jenelle later revealed to E! News that the incident was a 'drunk and dramatic misunderstanding' after David tried to put a stop to a televised pumpkin patch visit with his kids.
