JUSTICE FOR KATERA

In this post I would like to bring attention to the death of Katera Jenkins Barker 

On May 23rd, Katera’s  life was cut tragically short. It wasn't by cancer or by an act of God, it was at the hands of her caretaker, and soon to be adoptive father, Matt Barker. While in the custody of the Bethany Cristian adoptive services of Tennessee.

Katera Jenkins had been placed up for adoption by her birth mother Dedja, because she wanted her daughter to have more opportunities than what she would have been able to provide her. During her short year of life, Katera's birth mom kept open communication with Katera's soon to be adoptive parents, Matt and Jenny Barker.

Jenny appeared to be a loving and doting mother, but Matt seemed distant, and Dedja repeatedly voiced her concerns to Bethany Christian, which was dismissed and brushed off.

All of Dedja's concerns and instincts were dismissed as she was having remorse and would pull Katera out of the pending adoption.

On May 11th, 2018 Katera's 1st birthday, those feeling became even more apparent, when Matt Barker, was visibly distant and cold during Katera's 1st birthday party. Dedja had signed the adoption papers the month before and felt she legally had no right to voice her concerns further.

Less than 2 weeks after Katera's 1st birthday, at 12 am Dedja gets an unexpected visit from Bethany Christian, about a "Freak accident" involving Katera. But there was no way this was an accident.

On May 23rd, Matt Barker was supposed to take both of his children to daycare, where the older child would then be shuttled off to school. Matt claims to be exhausted that day and running late and decided to drive his older daughter to school and double back and drop the baby off at daycare. That never happened.

Matt's plan didn't seem logical, considering that he claimed to be in a rush. The extra stops on his route would have taken much longer. Instead of dropping his daughter off at daycare, he arrives home phones a uber and leaves little Katera to die a slow and painful death.

Later that evening, when Matt's wife Jenny went to collect the children, she learns that little Katera never made it to daycare. Frantic, she calls Matt, and he tells her, "I might have left her in the care."

Katera died strapped to a car seat, with the windows rolled up, it was over 100 degrees in that car. She died alone and scared, with no one to comfort her.

A week after Katera's funeral, Matt went on an island vacation, to "Celebrate" her life. But in reality, the inconvenience of Katera, for Matt is over.

The Davidson county police wanted to bring charges against Matt, but because of his political connections,. The District attorney's office declined to charge him.

Bethany Christian at the time of Katera's death, was her legal custodian; they declined any action against Matt in fear of how it would make their agency look.

Matt Barker and Bethany Christian Adoptive services should be held responsible for Katera's death.

Adopted father claims he accidentally forgot Katera Jenkins "Barker" in his car the morning of May 23rd, 2018 at 7AM. He then got on an uber and got on a plane and went to New Jersey for Work.

His wife went to Kateras daycare at 5:30PM and discovered Katera was never checked into daycare. His Story: claims he made breakfast for his oldest daughter and Katera. He said that the food was hot  the cool down process made him late to drop the oldest at school. He said he usually would drop Katera off at daycare first and then would take the oldest to school but that morning his schedule changed. So he "forgot". Katera was not fully adopted as I just surrendered my rights over late April. Katera died in the custody of the adoption agency. They did not inform me until 6 hours after Katera had past away and labeled it a "freak accident". Was Kateras DEATH silenced because of their reputation which is very injust? I believe the adopted father should be held accountable for his actions because of his negligence my daughter suffered and will not see another birthday. Your child is the most important and valueable thing you could ever have. No child is forgotten and no one should get away with leaving a child behind especially resulting in the loss of their life. This is a crime never the less. Please sign so we can get JUSTICE because no Child is forgotten . Thank you Signed Katera's Birth Mother

On May 23rd, 2018, Matt Barker decided that he no wanted to be a father of two.

Matt’s wife, Jenny, wanted a second child; Matt did not. He grew to love his first adopted child, especially as she became more independent. Matt’s wife and daughter were excited about a new baby, and Matt was not. Matt worked long and unusual hours,  building his company Black Hawk Media, and the crying and crankiness of a toddler was an inconvenience, and was too much for a man as selfish as Matt.

When Katera’s birth mom signed over her rights, Jenny was ecstatic; Matt was not. He made every excuse as to why it wasn’t a good time to finalize the adoption and legally make Katera a part of their family.

As time passed, Matt became increasingly hostile toward little Katera, even distant at her first birthday party. Less than two weeks later, Katera was dead. Her last few hours of life were spent alone, trapped in a truck that reached over 100 degrees. Katera died an excruciating and lonely death because of Matt’s decision on May 23rd, 2018.

Protect our black children

[notreallyimportant]

This baby, was killed by her adoptive father Matt Baker. The police refuse to do anything due to his political connections. The agency thru which Katera was adopted won’t do anything because of how it would effect the agency. Her mother is asking for justice. This is what many people mean when they say adoption is a multimillion dollar business.

#KateraJenkins was murdered by her adoptive father on May 23rd. The adoptive father claims he accidentally forgot Katera Jenkins "Barker" in his car the morning of May 23rd, 2018 at 7AM. He then got on an uber and got on a plane and went to New Jersey for Work.

His wife went to Kateras daycare at 5:30PM and discovered Katera was never checked into daycare.

His Story:

claims he made breakfast for his oldest daughter and Katera. He said that the food was hot the cool down process made him late to drop the oldest at school. He said he usually would drop Katera off at daycare first and then would take the oldest to school but that morning his schedule changed. So he "forgot".

Katera was not fully adopted as the birth mother just surrendered her rights over late April. Katera died in the custody of the adoption agency.

They did not inform the birth mother until 6 hours after Katera had past away and labeled it a "freak accident".

Was Kateras DEATH silenced because of their reputation which is very injust?

I believe the adopted father should be held accountable for his actions because of his negligence Katera suffered and will not see another birthday.

Your child is the most important and valueable thing you could ever have. No child is forgotten and no one should get away with leaving a child behind especially resulting in the loss of their life.

This is a crime.

Please sign the petition for her so we can get JUSTICE because no Child is forgotten. #SAYHERNAME #BLACKLIVESMATTER
