Liz Taylor's Son-in-Law Says Taylor, Daughter Kidnapped His
Two Year-Old Son
Thomas McKeown, Elizabeth Taylor's son-in-law and the
estranged husband of Maria Burton, says that Taylor has
conspired with his wife to abduct his two year old son and
has kept the boy hidden from him. McKeown, who has not seen
his little son since October of last year, was booted out of
his son's life after his wife got a restraining order
against him for alleged emotional abuse.
McKeown, a 49 year-old Wall Street executive, has been
arrested twice for violating the order in efforts to "find
out where my son was, who was caring for him, and find out
about his well-being." According to Taylor's
representatives, the boy is being held at an undisclosed
location near Taylor's Bel Air mansion in the Los Angeles
area. McKeown says he is preparing to file kidnapping
charges against the wealthy 72 year-old actress.
Restraining orders based on vague accusations of "emotional
abuse" or spurious domestic violence charges are a weapon
commonly used by mothers to drive fathers out of their
children's lives. Mike McCormick, Executive Director of the
American Coalition for
Fathers and Children, is helping McKeown fight to get
his son back. Seattle family law attorney
Lisa Scott,
the founder of Taking Action
Against Bias in the System (TABS), is an expert on the
abuse of restraining orders. McKeown, McCormick, and Scot t
joined

To learn more about how restraining orders based on spurious
charges of domestic violence are used to separate fathers
from their children, see Stephen Baskerville's
