With the enlarged area of the pic, Shaniya looks like she is wearing ear hoops/loops type earrings.  Look at the area to the right also, just under/along her chin.

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. – The location and fate of a 5-year-old girl reported missing by her mother was unknown even after authorities charged the mother with human trafficking and other offenses.

Antoinette Nicole Davis, the mother of Shaniya (Shuh-nigh-uh) Davis, faces a child abuse charge involving prostitution as well as filing a false police report, according to a Saturday news release from the Fayetteville Police Department.

The child hasn't been seen since Tuesday, when surveillance footage recorded the man charged with kidnapping Shaniya carrying her into a hotel room.

The release did not say whether the charges were related to her daughter's disappearance, but The Fayetteville ******* reported that arrest records indicated they were.

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

Telephone messages and an e-mail left for police were not returned.

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. The following day a man described as Davis' boyfriend was charged in the kidnapping, but the charges were later dropped and he was released.

Police then said a hotel worked spotted a child matching Shaniya's description at a Sanford hotel about 40 miles from Fayetteville on Tuesday. Authorities reviewed surveillance video and, after speaking with family members, confirmed the child's identity.

Surveillance footage showed Mario Andrette McNeill carrying Shaniya into a hotel room, and he was arrested and charged with kidnapping Friday.

Authorities have said McNeill admitted to taking the girl, though his attorney says he will plead not guilty to the charge. They have not said if McNeill and Davis knew each other.

An official at the Cumberland County Detention Center said Davis was still being booked and it was unclear whether she had an attorney. Her first court appearance would likely be Monday.

Shaniya's father, Bradley Lockhart, told The Associated Press he raised his daughter for several years but last month decided to let her stay with her mother. He said Davis struggled financially over the years, but she recently obtained a job and her own place, so Lockhart decided to give her a chance to raise their daughter.

"I should've never let her go over there," he said Saturday night.

Lockhart said police have not told him whether they are any closer to finding his daughter.

"I just want her to come back safe my friend," he said. "I love her very much and I hope she is OK."

He described his relationship with Davis as a "one-night stand" and said he and Davis never argued about him raising Shaniya.

"Shaniya is a precious young lady and she is special," Lockhart said.

Lockhart said he did not know McNeill.

Klass I am not sure what that is, could it be head phones?

This story is sickening. Coe is not without guilt in this thing and he will be rearrested. He says he didn't ever see the girl, didn't really know her yet says she called him daddy and she was wearing his daughters cloths. The 4 and maybe even that crazy ignorant grandmother are to blame for this.

This is an ear plug and what I think I see on Shaniya.  Shaniya is/was just a bit young to be having body altering jewelery IMO

Oh my goodness, yes you could be right.

Seahorse, you are correct, I didn't notice that. I am not sure how far between the images are taken, could it be he dropped the animal and then picked it up?

[Tracygirl]

O/T has anyone seen PinkAngel around? Is she ok?

Father of missing girl laments giving daughter to mom charged with human trafficking
November 15, 2009 02:24 EST


FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (AP) -- The father of a missing 5-year-old North Carolina girl says he never should have allowed her to go back to her mother, who is now being charged with human trafficking and other offenses.

It's not clear if the charges are related to Shaniya Davis' disappearance, and authorities say they still don't know where the girl is. The girl's mother, Antoinette Nicole Davis, reported her missing Tuesday from a mobile home community in Fayetteville.

Police say she's facing charges for alleged child abuse and filing a false police report.

A man believed to be on a hotel surveillance video carrying the child has been charged with kidnapping.

Shaniya's father, Bradley Lockhart, tells The Associated Press that after raising the girl for several years, he decided to allow her to stay with her mother last month. He says she had recently gotten a job and her own place, and he decided to give her a chance.

Now, he says he "should've never let her go."

Oh gosh call me a country bumpkin, I thought you were talking about earplugs you stick in your ears to block out noise. What in the world is that contraption?

[fatcatlurker]

Shaniya is described as 3 feet tall and 40 pounds. She has brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a blue T-shirt with pink underwear. She is thin and has a scar on her foot.

so blue t-shirt may be accurate you'd think if they had video of them leaving they would have updated the clothing if he changed her?  I'm confused unless she left in a manner they do not want us to see.  Or he took her down the stairs and there was no camera there, but someone saw her leave because they know they were only there for an hour?  something is weird about what is not being released. 

[fatcatlurker]

I can't even go there with the earplugs right now.  I'll go beat up some more leaves now - get some anger out.

   Walker road is blocked off and dogs are there       Have you ever seen teens or twentysomethings, with big plugs in their ear lobes? Like a pierced ear only the whole darn lobe has a decorative plug in it. I don't know how to describe them.
