MOTHER OF FOUR NEEDS FUNDS FOR ATTORNEY AND BAIL

Im starting this GoFund Me on behalf of my sister Saundra Tchatikpi. She has been arrested and charged with Felony Child Abduction of her own children. She is a victim of both Domestic Violence and a victim of our legal system. Her story is very sad but is one that has to be told. On Tuesday December 22, 2020,  US Federal Marshalls arrested my sister, violated all our constitutional rights, ripped her 7 month infant off her breast while breastfeeding, and separated and destroyed an entire family. This all started from a deranged, Narcissistic and stalking ex-boyfriend who was homeless in a park when she met him. My sister has a very big heart and he needed help, so she helped him then they got together, had two children then her nightmare began. He became very abusive, cheated on her numerous times, lied, threatened her and used all kinds of abusive tactics against her and the children. He then left her 1 month after their second baby was born and said he didn't want a family and left her and the two kids for months without any help or support. When he left he stole our mother's life insurance money left for my sister and committed many fraudulent acts against my sister. Illegally using her name to gain access to her bank account's, check fraud, breaking in her house and car, stalking her, and dragging her to court to further his abuse. The court ended up granting her custody along with making him pay child support and he was furious! From that day forward he became more than a monster and for almost 4 years, her ex and the court system have ignored obvious evidence of abuse, told her to "sacrifice the children", was highly biased and abusive toward her calling her a "terrible mother", and vilified her tremendously. It was horrific to watch and to hear. She has gotten multiple restraining orders against him and the last restraining order she received allowed her  custody. She received that restraining order after her ex hid in a bush and snatched their two children while playing outside with their 1 year old sister at the time and the kid's two friends. Their friend's and my niece's said their dad whispered for them to come into the bush then he took them, wouldn't answer his phone, police helicopters calling out my niece's name only to find him getting cash from an atm at a Bank. The Police took 5 hours to find him. He told the girls they would never see their mommy again while he had them. It's sickening how he hid in a bush, on his day to pick them up. They normally meet at a drop off site but he insisted on always coming to her and her husband's home which she said not to do too many times. He someone always find her addresses. He was escalating with his stalking and becoming more dangerous. Her ex threatened her and violated the restraining order on too many occasions by coming to her house late at night like he always does, even when he had the children. Her most current restraining order granted her custody over the kids so she did the only thing a terrified and abused mother would do, she fled for her and her children's lives. Her ex is very dangerous and narcissistic and the courts failed and abused her too many times to name. Her story was ignored and fell on deaf ears. She went to a state that she was born in and could remember feeling the safest. She provided a safe home free from abuse and neglect with her husband and four children , two of which is with her husband and they have done a wonderful job making sure the children have everything they need. Her ex filed a fraudulent missing person's for her and her two children to try and find out where she was and apparently there have been court proceedings continuing without her being present or properly served paperwork. She had to change her phone number and email address because he has access to her email accounts and phone number when they were together. I was forced to change my number as well because he would call my phone back to back all day and night. He somehow found out what state she and her family was located. Police pulled over her husband in the van because the license plate was flagged and a couple of days later we wake up to over 20 US Marshalls bamming on the doors and windows demanding that we open the door. We didn't know what was going on and why this was all happening. They made me, my fiance, my sister's husband with their 7 month old infant come outside barefoot on a wet ground, took my phone and told me not to record and said if I do I'm going to jail. Grabbed my arm in front of my fiancé and held guns to his face, told me to shut up because I was asking questions trying to clarify what was happening. They handcuffed my sister and dragged her to what looked like over 20 black SUVS. Her husband tried to show them the restraining order that's in her real married name not her Maiden name but they didn't care. They told us all that she's being arrested for Federal Kidnapping and that California put a warrant out for her arrest and that they were going to take her and her two kids with her ex and extradite them back to California. We all felt like we had died inside and it was one of the most traumatic days of all our lives!. My sister didn't get to hug her babies goodbye, she didn't get to fully breastfeed and bond with her baby one last time before 2 of the Marshalls said grab her and the baby, her two youngest babies don't have their sister's anymore, her husband is without his wife and left with a 7 month old infant and 2 year old, Im left without a sister who's sitting in a jail cell who has no criminal record or background and has lived as a model citizen and mother. This is not justice, this is an atrocity! I don't know where my nieces are! When I tried to ask the Marshalls where they were taking my nieces, the woman just ignored me and my questions. I cry every moment for my entire family. For 3 years my sister had no valid information of her ex address, he has no license plates on his vehicle and she's tried to tell the courts that if something happens to them how can you find him if he has no license plates. The court's ignored her. The police ignored her. They ignored the countless evidence of neglect and abuse against her and the children. They ignored the over 30 police reports made. They ignored the Restraining orders, they ignored the threats and stalking, and they ignored True Justice! My sister is not a criminal for fleeing for her life with her children from a dangerous man. My sister did what she thought was best for the safety and well being of her children! Now shes in jail on a 100,000 excessive bond during a pandemic with little money in their savings and accounts. She's a 28 year old woman with four small children and her world has been destroyed. All she ever wanted was to provide a life and a home free from abuse which she's now being criminalized for. We need to raise money for an attorney and bail during a time when everyone is hurting financially. Any donation is greatly appreciated along with any resources, information, referrals and prayers. She always wanted her story to be told and heard and the best thing I can do as her sister is to tell it. Thank you for  reading and God Bless.
