Lauren Boebert's son called 911 in tears to report his father was 'throwing' him around the house.

[Zorro]

Rep. Lauren Boebert's son called 911 in December to report that his father, Jayson Boebert, had gotten physical with him and was "throwing" him around the house and that he didn't know why.

Minutes after the call ended — while Garfield County Sheriff's Office deputies were on their way to their home — the teen called again to take the accusations back, with Lauren Boebert jumping on the phone to say her son "doesn't need help."

Jayson Boebert denied to the deputies — and to Insider — that he had gotten physical with the teen.

"The safety and well-being of my family are the most important things in the world to me," Lauren Boebert told Insider on Thursday. "We've had some tough times and heartache. I've taken action to ensure there are better days ahead for all of us."

They seem nice and normal...

[BunnyMcGee]

1. Better days ahead

If she files for divorce

[ColinC]

17. I think she already did

[Aristus]

2. Good old red-district family values...

[hlthe2b]

3. Family Services needs to get in there and talk sans the two horrible cretinous "adults"

[blm]

11. I concur.

[spooky3]

16. And police should have checked for bruises, etc. nt

[electric_blue68]

31. My second thought, yeah.

[AllaN01Bear]

42. the only time when "" protective service seinior and or child and or cops

will get involved is when somone gets seriously hurt , by then it may be too late .untill then , hands off. personal experiance here . my mom though was a teacher in ca and was under rules to watch for certain behaviour and to see if there were bruises . then ++ services would get involved .

[electric_blue68]

51. oh, interesting, but sad for her to have to watch out for signs of harm

[MerryBlooms]

52. They may. Now that it's been in the news. Let's hope...

Because, there are a lot of guns in that home. Divorce is coming, and it's a very volatile situation. Everyone in that home is at high risk.

[LoisB]

4. Maybe Lauren should wash her own windows before telling me that mine are dirty.

[pandr32]

5. That poor kid.

[GoCubsGo]

21. Along with his three brothers.

I feel bad for all of them. May they all be subjected to better influences from outside of their awful family.

[Wednesdays]

6. Good Lord.

Boebert is Sarah Palin v. 2.0.

[RandySF]

7. The parents are trash.

I don’t any other way to describe them. Unfortunately, the eldest son is following their path.

[SouthernDem4ever]

[yardwork]

8. Those poor kids.

[taxi]

9. Wow. Who knew you could take-back a 911 call?

Is anyone in CO who has ever been to court stemming from a 911 call (they were not allowed to take-back) able to have the resulting arrest and/or conviction thrown out? Fair is fair.

[ProfessorGAC]

15. Can't Here

911 & 411 were programmed into our landline. I hit the wrong button once & called 911. (Yeah, I could have looked up the number, but was using 411.)
Anyway, I said while on the phone when they answered "Oh that was dumb, I meant to dial FOUR one one."
2 cop cars showed up anyway. I apologized for being so careless.
They asked if I wanted them to come in & I told them they could if they wanted to. Saying no probably would have sounded suspicious, anyway.
Saying OK must have been enough because they didn't come in. Said thanks for my cooperation and left.
I never even reported anything and they still showed up.

[deurbano]

30. A few months ago, two cops were pounding on the door of our house in San Francisco...

and it turned out our landline, which we haven't used in years (and don't currently have a phone hooked up to) had called 911! They said the lines are old in SF, and sometimes when it rains, they get bogus calls. I was kinda stunned because I was always hearing how police never respond in SF... and this seemed a little extra. But if it had been a real emergency call, it's nice to know they might actually show up. I mean, I'm old and white in a middle class neighborhood, so I probably (hopefully?) didn't have to worry about a tragic outcome, although cops pounding on the door (when you have not called the cops) is not initially reassuring.

[ProfessorGAC]

49. I Can See That Being Disconcerting

But, as you said, it's nice to know that they'd actually show up.

[chicoescuela]

10. Maybe Jayson wasn't thrilled his kid was banging a 14 year old

[Nevilledog]

13. Nah... They didn't have a problem with that.

Just like they didn't have a problem with Jayson showing his tattooed baloney pony to minors.

[chicoescuela]

19. Ha Baloney Pony. That is a new one for me.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

55. I take it you didn't see the film, Grumpy Old Men

Burgess Meredith apparently got to ad-lib funny euphemisms for sex/penis. If you wait until the end, you see all of the outtakes of that scene. What's amazing is how Jack Lemmon held character through most of them.

Anyway, "ride on the baloney pony" was one of his ad-libs.

Enjoy:

[Initech]

12. And these are the psychos who want to overturn all the gun laws in this country.

What could possibly go wrong?

[edisdead]

14. This isn't going to end well.

I am afraid.

[Johonny]

18. Her life is a mess and I'd feel sorry for her

And her family if they were not so deliberately unlikable. Once again, she's uneducated, stupid, a terrible parent, illegally took money from her campaign and is a lobbyist money funnel, and is known for doing no legislating. Why is she in congress. Who votes for the Boeberts of the world. This isn’t a great American success story, this is the script of everything wrong in America presented as normal middle class family values.

[SouthernDem4ever]

[TexasTowelie]

29. Boebert's life is like a reality TV show

which is the reason so many relate to her nonsense.

[Vinca]

20. Isn't it special that a woman with such a fucked up family wants to tell us all how to live?

[jmowreader]

22. I swear...

…if they ever decide to remake Deliverance they’re going to go straight to Lauren Boebert’s house. You just know if they handed the Boeberts banjos they could play them.

[OAITW r.2.0]

23. Sounds like another Palin family.

Republican "Family values", like Republican "small government", like Republican "pro-business" is just a load of BS.

[Renew Deal]

24. So is Boebert covering up child abuse?

[Nevilledog]

25. That's my takeaway

[ShazzieB]

26. Mine, too. Sadly. 😥

[IronLionZion]

32. Good thing they have lots of guns to protect themselves

what could go wrong?

[Takket]

33. I know why dad was throwing him around...

Because the dad is an inbred, abusive, immortal, degenerate, piece of shit.

But... but... I thought the family was so safe because they had so many guns!!!

[intheflow]

34. I feel like this kid and Claudia Wilson should hook up.

Same energy.

[Rebl2]

35. Seem nice

and normal-not!

[MontanaMama]

36. Wow. So the child calls 911 for help

and then calls back to take back what he said his dad was doing to him? Sounds like an adult made that suggestion to him totally undermining him...then to make it worse his mother jumps on the phone to say the child doesn't need help? That poor kiddo. His dad is violent, his mother is staggeringly stupid, the house is full of guns and the kid has no parental support. This probably won't end well.

[tanyev]

44. My guess is that mom was the one who told him to call 911 again and recant.

And she was standing right next to him to make sure he did.

[MontanaMama]

48. That's so damaging to the child.

Dreadful woman.

[Comfortably_Numb]

37. The Clampett's had more class in Jethro's suspenders than this trick ass bumpkin trash

crew has in all of them combined. Yee haw, weenie wagger!!!

[kacekwl]

38. Ummmmm, he fell down the stairs.

Yea that's it. Might as well have beat the kid herself by covering for abuser hubby Bo Bo.

[icymist]

39. Wow! What a great and normal American family!

Just the kind to write the laws we all must follow!

[canuckledragger]

40. I recognize her behaviour.

It's called enabling, and it helps the abuser and his accomplice escape responsibility for their actions...and in bang-bang Boebert's case, keeps an embarrassing family abuse situation out of the public eye.

You see this kind of thing played out in families of alcoholics/addicts, and it never really stops until the victims choose to cut ties with them all

[Johonny]

45. She is divorcing him

She's the reason he was raking in millions. I assume they've saved zero bucks. Expect a messy public divorce as his money supply dries up.

[treestar]

41. Child Services should go out there

How can they dismiss the call just because the parents claim nothing happened? Abusers are going to do that.

[JanMichael]

46. I wouldn't send an investigator in there without backup

Gun freak nut jobs that are going through a divorce are great way to end up with a shootout and murder suicide.

[treestar]

53. Very True

We know they have a lot of guns there.

[LisaL]

43. Republican family values.

NT

[MaryMagdaline]

47. Covering up for her son's abuser

Just the type of person we need in Congress

[MerryBlooms]

50. A good lawyer may be able to make the case she's

A Mandatory Reporter, under Colorado law... Would take some doing and the right judge. The son needs outside counsel. If I were him, I would request a visit with my pediatrician, tell them my story, and then request a referral to a counselor. Get this stuff on record with Healthcare providers. Then, might get help for the situation. Really awful report, especially, since we know how armed this household is! This type of violence could turn deadly in a heartbeat. These kids need protection.

[Efilroft Sul]

54. I'm unclear which son called 911. Could it be when Jayson found out he was going to be a grandpa?

Not justifying the abuse; I'm just trying to find out what set off Jayson Boebert.
