Tyler Boebert, the 20-year-old son of Lauren Boebert, has been cited for misdemeanor child abuse without injury following an incident at the congresswoman’s home in Windsor, Colorado.
According to 9News and confirmed to TMZ by a watch commander with the Windsor Police Department, the charge was issued after Tyler’s 2-year-old son left the residence over the weekend. The property is located near a lake.
Authorities cited Tyler Boebert on a misdemeanor charge of child abuse without injury after his toddler wandered away from the house.
Representative Boebert told 9News that she was attending an event in her district while her son was caring for the child. She stated there is “no excuse” for what occurred and said she is “very frustrated this happened.”
“A kind woman quickly and safely secured him, and authorities were called as a precaution,” Boebert said, noting that the child was not injured.
A second citation within a year
This marks the second time Tyler has faced a similar allegation. On July 11, 2025, he was cited after his son was left unattended. Windsor Police Department documents show he has an April court date related to that earlier case, which includes a charge of criminal negligence where no death or injury occurred.
At the time, Boebert described the summer incident as “a miscommunication on monitoring my young grandson that recently led to him getting out of our house.” She also referred to it as a “one-time incident” and said the family met with Child Protective Services.
The latest charge follows last year’s citation and comes as Tyler Boebert awaits a scheduled court appearance tied to the previous case.
Tyler became a father in June 2023 while still a teenager, making the congresswoman a grandmother at age 36. In a statement to the Daily Mail last summer, Boebert said her son had been “doing a great job getting his life on track as a father and citizen over the past year,” and reiterated that the earlier citation involved no injury or physical abuse.
In 2024, Tyler also faced 22 counts related to vehicle break-ins and property theft, including multiple felonies. He later pleaded guilty to attempted identity theft as part of a plea deal, with the remaining charges dismissed, and was placed on probation.
Boebert’s congressional office did not respond to a request for comment on the new citation.
