Body of Missing N.C. Girl, Shaniya Davis, 5, Found, Mother Charged with Human Trafficking, Felony Child Abuse

URGENT:  SHANIYA DAVIS DEAD, BODY HAS BEEN FOUND!!!!!
Fayetteville, North Carolina, authorities are now searching for the body of missing five-year old Shaniya Davis, who has been missing since November 10th. Police spokeswoman Theresa Chance said, in a news interview, that officers are searching along a central North Carolina highway "reliable information" that indicated the child's body may have been dumped there. About 200 searchers fanned across several miles southeast of Sanford. Some walked along roads, ravines and fields while others drove on four-wheelers. It is a real shame that so many children continue to be victimized in this country and used for sexual gratification by vile elements in our society.

Shaniya's mother, Antoinette Nicole Davis, 25, has been charged with human trafficking and felony child abuse. She is being held Saturday at the Cumberland County Detention Center under a $51,000 bond. So, her daughter is missing under suspicious circumstances and her bond is only $51,000? That makes absolutely no sense.  The police have also charged 29-year old Mario Andrette McNeill, who was seen in surveillance footage carrying Shaniya into a Sanford hotel room. Why am I not surprised that this dirtbag, who is being held in the Cumberland County Detention Center under a $100,000 bond, has a criminal record, which includes arrests for fleeing to elude arrest, assault on a female and drug possession.

According to arrest documents cited by The Fayetteville Observer, Davis "knowingly provide(d) Shaniya Davis with the intent that she be held in sexual servitude" and she "permit(ted) an act of prostitution."

Shaniya had only been living with her mother since last month. Davis reported the girl missing Tuesday morning from a mobile home community in Fayetteville, and authorities began searching nearby wooded areas.

It is unconscionable that this woman could do this to this child. I am sure the child's father is overcome with untold guilt for giving the child back to the mother. I pray that the child is found alive, but with each passing day, the likelihood of that occurring is slim. Investigators should waterboard both the dirtbag mother and scumbag Mario Andrette McNeill until they say what really happened to this child and where she is. I am at a loss for words as to how any mother could do this to her own child. North Carolina has the death penalty and I hope the prosecutors will seek it in this case.
