Jenelle Evans' worst nightmare has become a jaw-dropping reality.

A judge took custody away from the fired Teen Mom star, 27, in North Carolina court on Tuesday, May 28, multiple sources confirmed  — and RadarOnline.com has exclusive details about the shocking decision.

“The judge told Jenelle that she failed to protect the children while they were in her care,” an insider confirmed to RadarOnline.com.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Child Protective Services took the children away, and launched an investigation into the reality star after her husband David Eason shot and killed her dog last month. Following four days of testimony in an explosive hearing, the judge ruled that the parents would not immediately regain custody of them. (The Ashley's Reality Roundup first reported the news of Jenelle losing custody today.)
