Jenelle Evans addressed her husband being charged with child abuse.

"You would think police wouldn't make a one-sided police investigation," Evans claimed of the situation. "They didn't conduct interviews, didn't ask any information from the parents. This seems like a very bias [sic] situation like every time before."

"I trusted that detective with all my heart.. forgot you can't trust cops… silly me," she continued before alleging that authorities have been conducting a "smear campaign" against Eason, 35. The MTV star also accused police of giving details about her minor child to the media "and gave no f----."

Evans — who has a 9-year-old son, Kaiser, with ex-boyfriend Nathan Griffith, and also has daughter Ensley, 6, with Eason — explained in a statement of her own, "As a boy mom, kids can act up and rebel as I'm sure the majority of us all once did as kids too. Jace got in trouble at school, we decided to take his phone away and that's when he decided to run off. Jace is a good kid, and we're not dealing with anything that most families don't deal with while raising children."

The mother-of-three clarified that her relationship with her spouse had absolutely nothing to do with her teenager taking off.
