Congresswoman Lauren Boebert Speaks Out as Son Tyler, 20, Faces Child Abuse Allegations Tied to Incident with Her Grandson
Boebert told PEOPLE in a statement that the incident "stems from a miscommunication" U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert is speaking out as her 20-year-old son Tyler faces a misdemeanor citation for child abuse. According to a report from the Denver, Colo.-based outlet Westword, Tyler, the eldest of the congresswoman's four sons, received a citation for "criminal negligence" tied to an incident involving his son on July 11. A court summons obtained by the outlet states "no death or injury occurred." Tyler — who welcomed the child when he was 17 years old — was issued the criminal citation by the Windsor Police Department (WPD), located about 60 miles outside Denver. Other details about the circumstances of the incident were not immediately available, but Lauren, 38, a Republican politician, told PEOPLE in a statement, "Tyler has been doing a great job getting his life on track as a father and citizen over the past year." "Unfortunately, this event stems from a miscommunication on monitoring my young grandson that recently led to him getting out of our house," she continued. The WPD and the Weld County District Attorney did not immediately respond to reach-outs from PEOPLE on Sunday, July 27. Tyler has faced criminal issues in the past. In February 2024, a then 18-year-old Tyler was arrested on felony charges connected to a string of property thefts and vehicle trespasses. The Rifle Police Department in Colorado said at the time that Tyler was facing "four felony counts of Criminal Possession ID Documents - Multiple Victims, one felony count of Conspiracy to Commit a Felony, and over 15 additional misdemeanor and petty offenses." In a statement given to PEOPLE at the time, Lauren said, "I love my son Tyler, who has been through some very difficult, public challenges for a young man and the subject of attention that he didn't ask for." "It breaks my heart to see my child struggling and, in this situation, especially when he has been provided multiple opportunities to get his life on track," she continued. "I will never give up on him and I will continue to be there for him." Added Lauren: "As an adult and father, Tyler will take responsibility for his actions and should be held accountable for poor decisions just like any other citizen." The Post Independent reported in October that Tyler reached an agreement and entered a guilty plea to one count of attempted identity theft, a class five felony, as part of a plea agreement. The remaining charges were dismissed. Tyler's arrest came weeks after his father, Lauren's ex-husband Jayson Boebert, was arrested following an alleged public altercation involving the former couple. Jayson, 43, was arrested in January on suspicion of misdemeanor assault and criminal mischief, according to Garfield County records viewed by CBS News. He was released from the county jail on the same day of his arrest. The Silt Police Department in northwest Colorado confirmed to PEOPLE at the time that it had launched an investigation after Jayson claimed he was a victim of domestic violence, alleging that his ex-wife "punched" him in the face multiple times at a restaurant. In addition to Tyler, the representative also shares three other sons, Brody, Kaydon and Roman, with Jayson. Want to keep up with the latest crime coverage?

Lauren Boebert Defends Son Tyler After Child Abuse Allegations
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Representative Lauren Boebert's eldest son, Tyler, was cited on July 11 and is facing a misdemeanor charge of child abuse. However, a statement from Boebert, a Colorado Republican, shared with Newsweek read in part that the event stemmed from a "miscommunication" and that Child Protective Services (CPS) had met with the family. The congresswoman's statement also said there was no injury or physical abuse involved. The misdemeanor charge was reported by the Colorado outlet Westword, citing records obtained from the Windsor Police Department, which the outlet said were confirmed by the Weld County District Attorney's office. Newsweek has reached out to the Windsor Police Department and Weld County District Attorney's office via email for confirmation. Why It Matters The congresswoman's son was arrested in late February 2024 following a "string of vehicle trespass and property thefts in Rifle." He, along with three friends (the three friends were minors and Tyler Boebert was 18 at the time), were accused of stealing credit cards and other items from parked cars. Tyler plead guilty to one count of identity theft with the intent to obtain an item of value. He was sentenced to a two-year deferred sentence, in addition to 80 hours of community service and pay court costs. The other charges were dropped as part of his plea deal. He had previously faced 22 charges including four felony counts of "criminal possession ID documents - multiple victims," as well as one felony count of "conspiracy to commit a felony." What To Know Westword reported that according to a court summons, the charge Tyler is facing is criminal negligence where no death or injury occurred. Details that led to the criminal citation were not available to the public as of press time. In a statement shared with Newsweek, Boebert said, "Tyler has been doing a great job getting his life on track as a father and citizen over the past year; unfortunately, this event stems from a miscommunication on monitoring my young grandson that recently led to him getting out of our house." Tyler has one child, a son who was born in June 2023. The police report is not a matter of public record, Westword reported citing the Weld County District Attorney's office. No documents have been filed with the court beyond the July 11 summons which was provided to Westword by the Windsor police. Tyler still has a year left of his probation, following his previous legal troubles. It is currently unclear if his citation breaches his probationary term. Last year, following her son's arrest, Boebert shared a statement with Newsweek which read in part: "I love my son Tyler, who has been through some very difficult, public challenges for a young man and the subject of attention that he didn't ask for. As an adult and father, Tyler will take responsibility for his actions and should be held accountable for poor decisions just like any other citizen."
