Teen Abducted By Teacher Is Acting Like Different Person; Family At A Loss

Elizabeth’s Mother Was Indicted for Child Abuse

More than a year before Elizabeth was abducted, her mother Kimberly Thomas was indicted on child abuse charges. According to court documents, she was indicted on four counts of misdemeanor child abuse and neglect and one felony count of abuse of a child under the age of eight. Kimberly Thomas purportedly abused five of her 10 children, including Elizabeth.

According to reports, the abuse began in 2014 and continued for about one year. In that time, Kimberly and her husband Anthony separated. He took sole custody of the kids, and Kimberly was banned from having any contact with her children.

The Story of Elizabeth’s Heartbreaking Abuse

Kimberly Thomas allegedly hit Elizabeth’s head against a washing machine. She also threw her daughter down a set of stairs and locked her inside the basement. The teen’s older sister, Kat Bozeman, believes that the alleged abuse contributed to her sister’s abduction. She told People, “Absolutely, 100 percent that affected her.”

The teen’s mom has been accused of beating several of her children until they bled, hitting one child with a wooden board until she became unconscious and striking another in the head after she injected herself with her sibling’s EpiPen. Despite these allegations, Kimberly Thomas has entered a not guilty plea.
