Lauren Boebert's Son Charged With Misdemeanor Child Abuse

The Congresswoman's oldest son was on probation after pleading guilty to identity theft last October.

By Brendan Joel Kelley
July 26, 2025

According to records obtained from the Windsor Police Department and confirmed by the Weld County District Attorney's office, Tyler Boebert, the eldest of controversial Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert's four sons, was cited on Friday, July 11, by the Windsor Police Department and faces a misdemeanor charge of child abuse.

Details about the circumstances that led to the criminal citation were not publicly available as of July 25. According to a court summons, the child-abuse charge Tyler faces is criminal negligence where no death or injury occurred. Congresswoman Boebert characterized the incident as "a miscommunication on monitoring my young grandson that recently led to him getting out of our house."

It's the latest in a string of law enforcement encounters for the twenty-year-old over the past few years. In September 2022, Tyler flipped his father's SUV into a Garfield County creek bed, resulting in his passenger suffering multiple concussions and a severely lacerated hand. He was ticketed for careless driving, with Garfield County prosecutors eventually dropping his case down to a "defective vehicle for headlights" ticket under a plea deal.

And who wrote that stupid statement about a "miscommunication on monitoring my young grandson that recently led to him getting out of our house"? What does that even mean?

That child shouldn't be in any of their care. Not daddy, Gramma or Grandpa, everyone one of them have criminal records!

If you’ve ever had a child who’s an escape artist, you know that sometimes they can get away. But from what I know of this family, drunk is probably a good guess.

My kids absolutely wandered into danger sometimes, but nobody called the police and no arrests were made. And I wasn't even a Representative to Congress.

It must have been a bad scene. Something bad enough happened to cause the local police to arrest that kid, again.

let the baby get out of the house, perhaps while he was in the basement free basing or whatever feckless shits like this do when they are supposed to be watching their out of wedlock children.

sounds like Bobo is somewhat responsible for the lack of monitoring and is throwing her son under the bus.
