Seems to me that Lauren Boebert is no more nor less responsible for her adult son's behaviour than Joe Biden is for his adult son's behaviour.
Family should put pressure on members exhibiting anti-social behavior. The shame is an incentive. But you can only do so much.
SHE called it "miscommunication", the JUDGE calls it "child abuse."
I wonder who "wins"?
Depends on how afraid of MAGA that judge is, I guess.
I would argue that is has more to do with how many digits there are on your bank statement.
Some of column A, some of column B. Corruption in America is a complex science.
She also lied for her now husband and this kids father when he pulled his dick out to her and her friends when they were children...
It really doesn't matter what she says, she has a documented track record of lying to authorities to protect child abusers.
I don't want to defend fucking Boebert or her ilk but to be fair:
"miscommunication on monitoring my young grandson that recently led to him getting out of the house."
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.
Oh but when it's your precious angel it's a "misunderstanding."
I feel bad for that kid. Whatever is wrong with him is surely a result of his home environment.
If so, it's unfortunate. But not an excuse to abuse others
I wasn't suggesting otherwise.

It could have been worse, he could have been caught getting a handjob in a theater.

Yikes, dude, shave the porn ‘stache before the trial at least.
following in his grandmother/mother footsteps. boeboes mom is a great grandmother already
God I need to go on Mastodon again at least there I can follow actual newspapers and get actual news. Obsessing about random misdemeanors that the children of politicians commit is a welcome distraction for them from their atrocities, and it's the opposite of news.
No front to OP for contributing and posting, just the upvoters
Bah, this is Colorado. We just let them run wild. If they live, they live.
