Rep. Lauren Boebert’s son has been charged with child abuse following an incident involving her grandson that she described as a “miscommunication.”
Tyler Boebert, 20, the eldest son of the MAGA congresswoman, was cited for criminal negligence where no death or injury occurred, which is a misdemeanor, for the July 11 incident, according to Windsor Police Department records obtained by Denver Westword.
Authorities have not yet shared details about the incident, which the 38-year-old congresswoman brushed off as “a miscommunication on monitoring my young grandson that recently led to him getting out of the house.”
I don’t want to defend fucking Boebert or her ilk but to be fair:
Assuming this is true, kids after three getting out of the house one time and scaring their parents half to death is a pretty often occurrence. Kids get real clever real quick when they get to 3, 4, and 5 and that’s usually when parents suddenly have to re-evaluate the locks on the doors after a jailbreak.
A friend of mine was actually kinda impressed that his 2 year old opened a locked door, walked down to the gas station and tried to get a candy bar, at 2am. Obviously the cashier called 911, kid was fine.
Yeah. I’m not sure how that amounts to child abuse, so I’m guessing that, as usual, the truth is somewhere in the middle.
Had same thoughts. I’ve had daughter do this, and also I did the same thing with my sister when we were around 4-5.
You aren’t really defending them, rather defending the minor incident of a child getting out of the house. In order to be defending them, you would need to be asserting that a known liar who has previously lied to hide the crimes of her child is not lying here… is that what you are doing?
Not necessarily, but I’ve had acquaintances with criminal records have an innocent situation like that get blown out of proportion by the police because of the record.
At this point I’m kind of assuming she is both lying and the situation was worse than what she’s saying, and yet it likely still didn’t warrant an arrest for criminal negligence and the police are blowing it out of proportion, if that makes sense.
