Shavon Taylor abducted her daughter during a Christmas break visit in 2009. She took her from Illinois to Dallas where the little girl spent weeks locked in a closet because she reported to her teacher at school that Shavon's live-in boyfriend had hit her mother. The little girl, now 12 years old, was able to call her father in Illinois recently, and they were reunited.
The boyfriend, Andrae Deon Thomas, has a history of domestic violence. He has been arrested multiple times -- most recently last July for hitting Shavon during a fight at their apartment. Officers on that call found him hiding in a closet in someone else's apartment. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to deferred adjudication despite his prior arrests. The apartment manager says that Thomas and Taylor were "Excellent tenants, no problems at all. They paid their rent on time." Yeah, right -- as long as they pay that rent, they can fight all they want and invade other people's apartments all they want and lock little girls in closets all they want. But they're still "excellent tenants."
