Help Find Jaliek Rainwalker

Missing Since 11/1/2007

Jaliek Rainwalker is missing.

Born on August 2, 1995 to a mother who was addicted to drugs, Jaliek was removed from the home and placed into foster care. After seven foster and adoptive homes, Jaliek is reported missing by his adoptive father, Stephen Kerr on November 1, 2007. Due to many discrepancies in Stephen
 Kerr's stories the Greenwich Police Department has named Jaliek's adoptive father a "person of interest" in the dissapearance of the 12 year-old child.

Elaine and Tom Person of Altamont, NY were at one time Jaliek's foster parents as well as his Respite Caregiver just six days before his disappearance. Elaine and Tom Person want Jaliek found and are going to desperate measures to get their story out there for people to see.

I have taken all the tips that the police have regarding the Jaliek Rainwaker case from the FIND JALIEK TASKFORCE PAGE.

Family Naked Time

About five years ago, before Kerr and McDonald were foster parents to Jaliek, three experienced foster parents heard Stephen Kerr state (and Jocelyn's mother confirmed) that in their home, the family practiced "running around naked time" also known as "Nakey-time".

Unusual Consequences

In their outhouses at the home where Jaliek lived, the toilet paper was kept in a container with a lid. Jaliek was repeatedly reminded by his adopted mother, Jocelyn McDonald that he had to put the top back on the container. One time after a series of ignored reminders, Jaliek's mother banned him from using the outhouses for several days.Jaliek's only option for the period of time he couldn't use the outhouse was to either use the woods & brush around the house or try and wait until they went on errands so he could use commercial restrooms.

Stephen Kerr learns his son is missing, but returns movies first

On the morning of November 2nd, after supposedly discovering pillows under his son's bedcovers, and finding a runaway note he claims was written by his son, Stephen Kerr took a shower and returned rented movies to the video store before contacting police about his missing son.

I guess the reasoning for placing Jaliek with these psychopaths went something like "they're not on drugs." Incredible, outrageous deeply angering story that demonstrates multiple systems failures combined with ignorance. I've stated elsewhere that children are still regarded as object, pieces of property with no individual rights, and the way this young man has been treated is case in point.(See: Escape From Childhood: The needs and Rights of Children by John Holt)
