Rashad Jamal: Mothers appeal to daughters who ‘took three-year-old children to cult run by convicted child abuser’

The mothers of two missing US women who are believed to have taken their young children and joined a cult run by a convicted child molester, have appealed to them, five months after they disappeared.
Police in St Louis, Missouri, think Ma’Kayla Wickerson, 25, and her three-year-old daughter, Malaiyah, are among six missing people who have become followers of Rashad Jamal, a former rapper-turned-online guru who was jailed last year for molesting a child.
Ms Wickerson’s mother, Cartisha Morgan, told KSDK, part of Sky News’ US partner, NBC News, her daughter, who she last had contact with in August, was “suffering from postpartum depression”.
Her child, she said, was “meeting these people online, and they just preyed on her weakness”.
Shelita Gibson, the mother of Gerielle German, 26, and grandmother of her three-year-old son, Ashton Mitchell, told KSDK she would like to know the pair were OK “so that I can get a good night’s sleep”.
“I would like to know they’re not hungry, they’re not cold, that no one is making her do things that she would have to pay for in the long run.”
