It did appear to me that LE was on top of this case. Momster  made sure they were misled. My thought was about "if only".

[crazybabyborg]

I have to go, I can't deal with this at the moment, I'm crying so hard and I feel so broken. Maybe back tomorrow. I wish you the courage I don't have at the moment Monkeys.

Love you all..

  Me too, Miki. Hugs!

How many times? How many times have we all been here on a deathwatch together? How many times have we just sat together on a thread like this and grieved?  In shock, in disbelief, in despair that another life has been taken? How do you harden your heart to this? How does it not erode away at your psyche and your soul? Another child, another child... We have become a "disposable" society, and that seems to extend to the precious miracles of life that we have been given. Such a Gawd awful waste!  JMO

And if there wasn't a market for children in the nasty perverted world that needs to be sated by all these POS's that can't be rehabilitated but yet keep being unloosed in our society and the greedy, inhuman monsters that walk among us willing to sell/kill kids in order to profit, either for drugs or maybe the now lucrative land of "my baby's been kidapped"

NC searchers find body of missing 5-year-old girl

SANFORD, N.C. — Searchers found the body of a missing 5-year-old off a road Monday, ending a weeklong search for the girl, whose mother was accused of offering her for sex, police said.

Fayetteville Police spokeswoman Theresa Chance told The Associated Press that searchers found Shaniya Davis' body southeast of Sanford in central North Carolina.

Two people have been charged in her disappearance, including her mother, Antoinette Davis, 25. Police charged Davis with human trafficking and felony child abuse, saying Shaniya was offered for prostitution. A first court appearance for Davis was scheduled Monday afternoon, and police said she did not yet have an attorney.

Authorities also charged Mario Andrette McNeill, 29, with kidnapping after they said he was seen in surveillance footage carrying Shaniya at a Sanford hotel. Authorities said McNeill admitted taking the girl, though his attorney said he will plead not guilty.

Davis reported Shaniya missing last Tuesday. The investigation first led to the arrest of a man named Clarence Coe, but charges against him were dropped a day later when investigators tracked down McNeill after getting a tip from a hotel employee.

Additional information led investigators to a search site near Sanford on Sunday. They continued searching Monday, scouring miles of landscape, roads, ravines and fields on four-wheelers and with helicopters.

Syd Severe, 42, who came down from Raleigh to help in the search, said he doesn't believe in the death penalty but feels the culprits in this case deserve it.

"We were hoping that someone could carry her home," Severe said. "It's just sick."

After Shaniya's body was found, a solemn group of searchers met quietly at a nearby fire station to ensure that all volunteers were accounted for.

Her father, Bradley Lockhart, said he raised his daughter for several years but last month decided to let her stay with her mother. He had pleaded for her safe return.

"I should've never let her go over there," he told The Associated Press on Saturday.

Before Shaniya's body was found, he said on CBS's "The Early Show" Monday that he remained hopeful someone would bring his daughter somewhere safe, such as a police station or hospital.

"They can drop her off at Walmart, I don't care," he said.

When I made this picture, I didn't know if Shaniya had crossed over from this life or not so I gave her a bridge over water. I believe God's promise that little ones have their angel, so I put hers between heaven and earth as she watched over Shaniya. I prayed for her to survive but so wanted her to be in a good place so I gave her flowers. God's promise is that He has prepared a home for her with Him so I gave her a castle. I know that the life given Shaniya cannot be destroyed by these horrific events, but will never end, so I gave her trees of life on both sides of the bridge.

Father, I know she is in Your arms and that all the pain is washed away. Give her the wonderment and joy that Your love has created and only children can fully embrace. Hug her a second longer for us, Father, and help us be comforted by the joy Your smiling eyes witness as Shaniya plays freely with heaven's children on rainbows. We let go of her hand knowing You are holding it and will never let go.

Amen    Thank You CBB

I know how you feel, MIKI

In my daily life, I am normally a peaceful person. Today, I wish we could see justice in the form of publicly stone these people. We think we've become a more civilized society because we don't behead those found guilty of a heinous crime? We've become so "civilized" that we're seeing these awful crimes against women and children every damn week if not every other day.

It seems to me the war we should be most concerned with is the one with the human traffickers which we are seriously losing. I want to see a public trial tomorrow aired by all television and radio stations with all details so every damn person in America will wake up and make our government do something about this. Fluck Obamacare. Why isn't this being discussed by all of America at emotional town meetings?!

I think we all need monkey hugs atm.  This is for everyone:

as much as it hurts to see one child after another lose their life to a selfish, sick adult, I consider it an honor to be witness to these children.

and I consider it an honor to witness together with those I know care deeply.
