Rep. Lauren Boebert’s Son Cited Again After Grandson Wandered From Home; New Child Abuse Charge Adds to Legal Troubles
Lauren Boebert's son Tyler, 20, was cited on a misdemeanor charge of child abuse without injury after the congresswoman’s 2-year-old grandson wandered out of her Windsor, Colorado home. The incident is the second similar citation involving the same child in less than a year, and Tyler is set to face trial in April. The development compounds an existing record of legal problems for the 20-year-old and puts renewed focus on family and legal questions surrounding the congresswoman.
Lauren Boebert family incident: what happened and immediate response
Local law enforcement cited Tyler on a misdemeanor charge of child abuse without injury after the toddler walked out of the home. The congresswoman described herself as "very frustrated" and said there was "no excuse" for what happened. She added that a kind woman quickly and safely secured the child and that authorities were called as a precaution. Authorities have not released further details of the incident.
Timeline of incidents and legal matters involving Tyler
The recent citation follows an earlier incident less than a year prior in which Tyler received a citation after the same young child got out of the home. The family described that earlier event as a miscommunication about monitoring the grandchild and characterized it as a one-time incident that was addressed.
| Event | Detail |
|---|---|
| Current citation | Child abuse without injury; toddler wandered out of Windsor home |
| Previous similar incident | Earlier citation after grandchild left home; described by family as miscommunication |
| Pending trial | Tyler is set to face trial in April |
| Earlier criminal cases | In February 2024 Tyler was charged in relation to a string of alleged thefts and faced multiple felony counts; in a separate sequence of events he faced dozens of charges including several felonies and later pleaded guilty to one count of attempted identity theft with other charges dismissed |
| Earlier motor-vehicle incident | In September 2022 he flipped an SUV; the driving ticket was later reduced under a plea arrangement |
What to watch next
Key developments to monitor include the April trial date and any additional details released by authorities about the most recent incident. Officials have not provided further specifics at this time, and details may evolve as the case moves through the local legal system. The repetition of incidents involving the same child has already prompted public comment from the congresswoman and is likely to draw continued attention as charges proceed.
As the legal calendar advances, observers will track formal filings, courtroom appearances, and any statements from family representatives. For now, the situation remains a developing legal matter centered on the cited misdemeanor and Tyler’s existing history of criminal cases.
