DENVER (KDVR) — U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert’s son earlier this month received a summons from the Windsor Police Department for a child abuse charge the congresswoman said came from a “miscommunication.”
Tyler Boebert on July 11 received the summons for a misdemeanor offense of criminally negligent child abuse where no death or injury results, according to a redacted Windsor police summons record obtained by local affiliate KDVR.
The alleged violation is not detailed in the redacted version of the summons but occurred at the family’s home in Windsor, part of Colorado’s 4th congressional district Lauren Boebert represents that covers most of the Eastern Plains.
Lauren Boebert sent KDVR a statement about the alleged child abuse incident. She also did not say what happened other than it led to her grandson “getting out of our house,” but said it was a “miscommunication” and a “one-time incident.”
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. As the citation states, there was absolutely no injury or physical abuse involved. Our family has already met with CPS to ensure we are continuing to provide a safe environment for my boys and my grandson; I am confident this is a one-time incident that we have addressed as a family.”

Tyler’s son was born in 2023 when he was 17 years old, making the Republican congresswoman a grandmother at 36 years old. Tyler has faced numerous legal troubles, including a string of alleged thefts and trespassing offenses and a sentence for identity theft from the same incident in 2024 in Rifle on the Western Slope, where Lauren Boebert previously represented in Congress before making the move to the Eastern Plains.
According to the Windsor police summons, Tyler Boebert is due in Weld County court on Sept. 5.
