Lauren Boebert’s eldest son, Tyler Boebert, 20, has been cited for misdemeanor child abuse following an incident involving his infant son.

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.

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."
