Is 'Teen Mom' star Janelle Evans' son Jace OK?

Janelle Evans son 14-year-old son Jace went missing as he ran away from their home. August shared the news with E! News "Jace has been found, and is safely at home with Jenelle and his family."

August added, "Thank you to the Brunswick Co Sheriff's Department and to everyone else for their concerns."

Janelle and her ex Andrew Lewis' son ran away from home after disciplinary action was taken. 

"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," August explained.
