Shaniya Nicole Davis, 5 Fayetteville, NC Missing #1 11/10/09 - 11/17/09

Hi Razzy, a warm welcome to you!   


Perhaps you can help us sort out some of the more confusing things reported by the media as what Shaniya's dad has said?  With a better understanding of that, am thinking it will be very helpful.  It may be hard for you to read some of these posts, since our emotions re Shaniya are very raw.  We didn't know her, true.  Yet many of us have fallen in love with that sweet angel face, and want desperately for justice to be brought for her. 

Please give Bradley and family our condolences, and let him know that we are only trying to understand.   

Thanks for the welcome. I didn't realize by disagreeing with another poster it would be such a big deal, It wasn't meant rudely. Of course I agree, as in hindsight, he would to I imagine, he should have checked her out more, because from all the pics I've seen it appears she was well taken care of and appeared a happy child with her dad. But this was the egg donors plans and intentions imo.   I've heard so many different stories, I'm not sure what is true, except the video of the vigil last night of a totally devastated father. I live in Michigan, I do not even know them, I have no idea how you got that impression. I'll go back to lurking, sheesh 2 posts and I have to defend my opinion. He knows he made a deadly error in judgement, he will punish himself forever. It doesn't do any good for me to blame him too. bye

In the South, we call that "taking on for public display".  If he was that distraught, he should have stayed home.

Razzy,
Please don't leave...different monkeys have different opinions and are very passionate about these cases.  We strive not to personally offend or attack another monkey....everyone is entitled to their opinions...
I personally feel bad for Shaniya's father and his family.  But, please don't feel you can't comment.  Not so good with words but I hope you know what I'm trying to say...

Okay, so Egg holder tells 911 >> this house? 
She knows how to unlock the lock but the doors were not locked...


pb

I mean but the doors were locked....
So how did she get out if the doors were locked?

pb

not sure but AD sure stressed, in the 911 that Shaniya knew how to unlock the door
prob AD setting up the fake call because something happened, or AD would not have
made the fake/setup 911 imo

[cw618]

Has somebody called the thread change? Sorry! I just got back here and wanted to make sure it was covered!

Razzy - Sorry, I took this posted by you to mean that you knew Bradley personally:

"Brad Lockhart would have never knowenly send his daughter into harms way, that I know from reading, and watching him."

The rest of my post was only meant to welcome you, and in my mistaken belief that you personally know Bradley, was asking if you could clarify some things for us.  Am sorry that offended you. 

Let's start over, ok? 

Welcome to our cage!

When I listened to the 911 call, I kept thinking that the important point was whether the door was locked after she found Shaniya missing!  I mean, I would have said, it was locked when I went to bed but she's gone and the door was left open this morning! Who sees their 5 yr old child at 5:30 pm and not check on them until the next morning? I realize she agreed with the operator later in the call that it was 5:30am, but that's not what she said at first.

DSS, police probes detailed

<snipped>
He said, though, that he wished the Cumberland County Department of Social Services had notified him about any problems in Davis' home.

DSS looked at Davis with regard to her 7-year-old son, not Shaniya, according to her uncle, Michael Davis. The case was closed, and Antoinette Davis was able to retain custody of the boy, her uncle said.

DSS Director Brenda Jackson declined to comment on her agency's involvement with the Davis family, citing the criminal investigation into Shaniya's death as well as confidentiality rules for child protective services cases.

A search of court records turned up no previous criminal charges against Davis, but she lived at a home on Wall Street in July that police raided. Officers found "narcotics manufacturing materials" in the house, but no one was charged, according to an incident report.

Residents said they had seen Shaniya running around the neighborhood unattended, but her families maintains Davis was a good parent.

"I know she’s a great mom. She’s a great mom. Antoinette really loved her children,” said Davis' uncle, Arthur Cromartie.

Cumberland County Schools officials said Shaniya was a kindergarten student at Morganton Road Elementary School until mid-October, when she was taken out of the school and wasn't enrolled elsewhere.

"We have no knowledge of what the reason was for her being withdrawn from school," Morganton Road Principal Charlotte McLaurin said.

Lockhart said he allowed Shaniya to move in with her mother on Oct. 9.

During a Monday morning interview on CBS' "Early Show," he said Davis had worked to get her life together and had been working for at least six months and gotten a place of her own.

"She had asked if she could be a mother, and I felt she was sincere in asking, and I figured to give her a chance," he said.

Davis worked in the kitchen at Carolina Inn at Village Green, an assisted living facility in Fayetteville.

CES, a South Carolina-based staffing company that has a contract with Carolina Inn, hired her in June 2008 after an extensive background check, an official said. She had a good employment record at both Carolina Inn and the Haymount Nursing Rehabilitation Facility, but she is no longer employed by the company, the official said.
