How Could You Be So Heartless

I, like many others in North Carolina, am shocked, saddened and even outraged over the death of little Shaniya Davis. This is the five-year-old who was being used as a sex slave by her mother, 25-year-old Antoinette Davis. Shaniya's body was discovered Monday in a rural area---several days after her mother reported her missing from their mobile home.

Here's the timeline according to Fayetteville Police:

Davis called police at 6:53 a.m. one week ago today to report that her daughter was missing.

Davis told police the last time she saw the child was at 5:30 a.m. inside their mobile home.

At 6:11 a.m. that day, a surveillance camera at a Sanford hotel recorded Shaniya in the arms of a man identified as Mario Andrette McNeill, 29, of Fayetteville.

On Monday, police said McNeill left the hotel with Shaniya at 7:30 a.m.

In a news release issued on Nov. 17, Fayetteville Police say Shaniya was alive when she left a Sanford motel. What happened between then and yesterday's discovery is still a mystery.
Bradley Lockhart, father of Shaniya, had raised his daughter up until recently. It was then that he decided to give her mother a chance to be apart of their daughter’s life and raise her.
All he desired was for his daughter to be alive and ok.

Meanwhile, Anotinette Davis sits in jail charged with human trafficking and felony child abuse. Her mother is maintaining her innocence, saying her daughter would never do anything to hurt her child. Let me say this, never say what your children won't do because they will make a liar out of you.

One more sick piece of this horrific story is the fact that this human trafficking, child abusing mother is PREGNANT AGAIN!
This heartfelt story made national news and received many prayer and condolences from the nation. People are outraged by this story. It especially hits home to people with young children.
Jasmine Wilson was born twenty miles from where little Shaniya’s body was found. She is also six months pregnant with a little girl.
“You have to be a sick individual to sell your own biological child for money or drugs,” says Jasmine.
“She deserves to be thrown under the jail!”
Sean Perry is a native of Fayetteville, NC, so this story hits him on a more personal level.
Perry says, “’This incident gives the Fayetteville area a bad name, and a bad reputation.”
He also talks about how it affects him as an African American as well as a black male. “We already have it hard in society and this doesn’t do anything but make us look worse.”
As the investigation continues, more questions will be answered as to why and how a mother could do this to her own daughter. As a nation all we can do is pray for little Shaniya and her father. We must do must to protect our kids.
