This is a case that was started over two years ago. Griffin attracted a legion of supporters last year with her desperate refusal to accept a judge's order that her son's father be given a chance to share custody. She sent the boy into hiding in May 2007 and showed up at the Milwaukee County courthouse and told District Judge Michael Goulee to go ahead and put her in jail. He did just that and sent deputies searching her family members' homes, threatening to arrest anyone found helping hide the child. But as the months passed, nothing changed. Griffin remained in jail, and her son, Jesse Moses Griffin-Sebuliba, remained missing. When Goulee released Griffin earlier this year, citing her fast-deteriorating health in jail, he did so with a warning. The child, he said, "will be found. And he will be found with someone, and that someone will be charged with a crime." Learn more about the crime against April Griffin, Tasered While Black, Beaten, and abused by the system.

My sister name is April Griffin, she has no criminal record, and is being criminally prosecuted for PROTECTING her and her baby from the man who tried to kill her and her baby when she was pregnant, a Ugandan name Matthew Sebuliba, who is not a U.S. citizen, he beat April and forced him self on her sexually, she tried to escape her ex, many times, he offered the court $1,000.00 to take the baby to Africa and if the baby is kidnapped the court keeps the money, and they accepted the money, they changed her baby name 4 times, recently on September 26, 2008 Milwaukee police entered April's home, without warrants and in plain clothes and pepper sprayed her while she held her baby, the baby was sprayed too, a 300 pound, 6 ft 4 white male cop, put his knee in April's back, tazed her with the sun gun directly on her spine paralyzed her, they also broke the bay bones in the process, April is now in the Milwaukee County Jail facing 12 years for a false charge 'interference with custody'-there was not ever a custody hearing, the state of Wisconsin asked her to name the father in a PATERNITY hearing to be reimbursed by the father for medical cost, she gave them medical documents about rape, and abuse-but he came in and offered money-true story-

" Mother's Warnings Ignored" (ChicagoTribune, May 17, 2009' -Cops and courts failed to protect her boys from their unstable father. Mother says "I'll spend the rest of my life wondering why no one would listen to me." Amy was forced by the police to give her babies to their killer. April baby by POLICE FORCE was given to the father who tied to repeatedly kill April and the infant while she was pregnant-Yes world this is the American government-killers can corrupt -victims are ignored and punished for fighting back! Amy and April you both are martyrs!
