There doesn’t seem to be a night that goes by without a child’s face being flashed on the screen with the words “Missing” under it. Yet this little girl was never missing, her mother knew right where she was. A mother is supposed to protect her children at all costs, yet Antionett Davis fed her child to the monsters. She willingly gave her child up into a prostitution ring. The words mother, child and prostitution should never be in the same sentence.
Sadly, the girl had been living with her mother only a month. She had been raised by her father Bradley Lockhart who claims that Shania was the result of a one night stand and that Antionetter finally seemed to get her life in order and he allowed the little girl to go. He now cannot forgive himself. Shanias aunt Carrie Lockhart Davis says that she and Antionette never got along because the woman was so neglectful to her children. Carrie claims that she dropped Shania off at her mtohers 4 weeks ago for a visit and that is the last time she ever saw her.
Mario Andrette McNeill is currently in custody after turning himself in to police. He was shown in a video surveillance tape carrying Shania at a hotel. He claims he is not guilty of kidnapping or murder. Frankly as sick as I think he is I agree that he cannot be charged with kidnapping if the mother sold her into prostituion. The childs father claims that Antionetter asked if she could be a mother again and he thought she was sincere. However, this child only went there four weeks ago, so was this her plan all along? How do you, not even as a mother, but as a human give a small innocent child up into something like this. Knowing the horrific things that will happen to her, knowing that she will be scared, traumatized and violated?
Antionette is currently also pregnant with another child and has a 7 year old. This woman does not deserve children and does not deserve to share thename mother with any of us.
The autopsy is currently under way to determine how this child died, yet I can only imagine what horrific moments she had to endure. This woman took a beautiful healty happy child away from her father under the premise that she wanted to be a mom to her and sadly the dad had a heart. For him giving so selflessly and trying to not think of himself but of his daughter having a relationship with her mother he now has lost the most important thing in the world to him.
I agree with your resonse 100% Halfpint 42592, it exactly expresses my sentiments, and you researhed it very well. It’s so sad that this beautiful little girl was placed in the hands of her undeserving mother, although Shania looks just like her from the pictures they’ve shown. I so feel for her father, trying to do the right thing, and give this mother and daughter a fresh chance at a relationship. It’s heartbreaking, and my deepest sympathies are extended to this father and the extended family. It’s such a tragedy!
I agree with you, and was drawing the same conclusions, that it does seem to suggest that this mother could have possibly planned this whole thing to cancel her debt with this drug dealer. Obviously, she cared more about her drugs than her own flesh and blood. I don’t think Shania’s mother has any real affection or love for her own daughter. Thanks for caring! We have to take this and across the board learn from it, so these situations don’t keep happening.
Hi DEDE: In watching the press conference last night, it seems as though there are many factors in this case that will not be announced. To know that she was traded for a drug debt was hard enough to hear, to have them formally bring down rape charges after the preliminary autopsy sent shivers down my spine. The cause of death was ruled homocide by asphyxiation and I am sickened when I think about what this little girl had to go through. Hopefully this case will be prosecuted quickly and we wont have another Casey Anthony sitting in jail for a year.
I hope anyone and everyone involved in this child’s death dies a slow,painful death.. And even that won’t be punishment enough..
I hear you sister, although she does not deserve to be labled as a mother in all this. to be honest she is nothing but a demon who gave birth to a beautiful angel.
Karma is real, and i hope its a fate worthy of what she has done….
Victoria: I have long lived by the quote:KARMA… IT’S A BIGGER BITCH THAN I CHOOSE TO BE. I believe every action has a consequence whether be in this life or on your judgement day… This woman should never have been allowed to have children, but in the end God takes care of em all…
I would not like to be that mother on Judgement Day! We’ve all made mistakes but this is beyond horrendous. Hopefully, Shania will haunt her mother day and night!
Hi spring: This was not a mistake, this was a cold callous mother who lacked the maternal bond that a mother and child have and this child was nothing more than a bartering tool. Furthermore the man who went along with this deal and is shown carrying this precious child into an elevator should be treated like the animal he is.
I do believe that the creatures that kill children need to be separated from society, maybe an Island, dropped off and made to live by their own survival. All together. Nothing but the clothes on their backs. Unfortunately it seems they have more rights than the children they killed. Thank you for letting me post!
P:
No need to thank me, you are welcome to post anytime, as long as you don’t call others names or bash others opinions. That is not to say that you can debate, we all love to get others opinions. It is good to hear other theories about topics i think.
I agree that yes people who kill their own children or allow their children to be killed without doing anything to protect them should be banished to a place where they can fend for themselves. I just hope it wouldn’t be a tropical island, that seems unfair! 🙂
This one of the most dark distrurbing stories in a while. To imagine what that innocent baby went through in those final hours is so horrific that I think I must not let my mind go there.
Chaka, if we allow ourselves to go there it will consume us. My only wish is that this poor baby is at peace. We will probably never know what she endured in those four short weeks with this monster who calls herself a mother.
I went through being raped when i was three by my father and he is currently in prison, i am thankful to be alive but i feel for all parents that have to go through any of this nonsense with their children, any man or women that can do that much harm to a child in anyway shape or form deserve to die. not by lethal injection, but by the same way they killed the child. How would they feel if that same act was done to them? I think the government should let the familys of these children, take the law into their own hands. sometimes the justice system just isnt enough.
ABSOLUTELY DELILA! I have long said that an eye for an eye is sometimes what this justice system needs. Why do these monsters get the luxury of sitting behind bars when these babies didnt get a a choice. I am glad that you are able to speak of your horrific tragedy, it shows that you are going to be okay and not repeat things. Best of luck to you and I have the utmost faith that if you do not have children now, one day you will be a “great mother” who will put your children first.
I have to agree with you cowgirl…. the slow and painful death would not be enough. There is nothing that would suffice for this childs death. It sickens me to no end. I’d like to have a room the size of a jail cell with locks and about 4 moms in there with this monster. I don’t even think I would have to think about it. My baby who is 21 is having her first, and I’m so excited about this baby, I can say if anyone ever hurt my child or grandchild I would kill them.
ditzy: I agree these women should be put in general population! Why do they get to be protected when their little ones weren’t? Congratulations on your first grandchild, from the day I had my children my sisters and I no longer matter to my parents as much as their eleven grandchildren do! That is the way it should be. Were I any one of these women, I know without a doubt I wouldn’t have made it long enough to even be arrested!
Abuse is seriously on the rise, as is Mother’s who abuse. It is horrific to think a Mother is capable of such an evil act. A Mother is supposed to protect and nourish her children. The death penalty should be imposed on these individuals.
I think what happened to this little girl is so horrible, I come from a home where my real dad and my step father sexually abused me and my mother turned her head and let it happen, I left home at 16 to live in a big city only to be abused by another man, only thing I could think was at least I didn’t have to have my own brother, if I was to get pregnant. I always thought sex was love and many men abused me and took advantage of that fact. I went on to go back to school and get my ged and go to college, taking every child development class I could and womens study classes to know how to be a women. I have lived with the scares of the abuse all my life, never trusting anyone to watch my children, not even enough to get a job, I spent my life on welfare just so I could raise them and knew I could neverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr leave my children with a babysitter I didn’t even know. I would have rather died then trust anyone with them. They grew up to be educated and great parents as well. Life is so sick sometimes, in 3rd grade my oldest daughter was molested and raped by the school vice principle Mr. greg oliverious at humbolt elementary school in portland oregon, I never again let my children go to public school, I begged the private schools to let them go and I would do anything. I don’t feel good about this dad in this situation as if he really loved her he would have neverrrrrrrrrrrrr let his baby go with her, no way, I blame him just as much as her, two sick people, he can say he careed but I know it’s not true, a true parent would never let that child go with the likes of her. As for her, wow, what a pathitic mother, sounds like my own mom, honey as far as you go, thats where those prisons in other countries in thrid worlds thats where she needs to go, and lock the door and throwwwwwwwwww away the key. What’s really bad is that the foster care system her other children go into may not even be any better, I have seen some horrible situations first hand with those situations,how did people get so messed up in the head and how can you not love a child? It’s a really sad world for children we live in, really sad, right where we live is an adult video store right accross the street from a elementary school called ockley green on Ainsworth street in portland oregon, I mean come on the freaks that go into the store and its right accross the street, this is what I’m saying, who really cares? to sad
Sugarplum: While I commend you for continuing on with your life, it is also unfortunate that you never in your entire story were able to really experience this great thing called life. You chose to protect yourself and your children which I do not fault you for. However, your fear of this abuse happening to your children made it impossible for you to trust anyone or believe that there are good people in this world. I cannot begin to imagine what you went through and will not even begin to think I could say “I know how you feel”. In your story, you didn’t speak of any kind of therapy for what happened to you. Did you ever go through therapy? I understand that you enrolled in college and took every course possible to study behavior of children, women and so on. But did you ever seek therapy for yourself?
I feel that the woman and anyone else that was involed in this precious little childs life being ed=nded so soon should be hung and like other people have said that still wouldn’t be enough. this chid did not deserve to be treated like a piece of meat no child should be done that way. I feel that the mother should have to get her tubs done so that she can’t ever have anymore babies.But the one qustion that will always stay in my mind is how can any woman do that to her own child? I sit every ight and worry about my children i wonder if they are safe and where they are.
Mrs. Cox: Unfortunately a mother is defined as one who gives birth to a child, yet that is not what a mother is. A mother is one who protects, nurtures and above all else puts her children first. A breeding machine is what these mothers are, I refuse to allow them to share this title with me. I have worked long and hard and still have a long way to go to make my sons into great men, yet that is what I promised the day they laid them in my arms and that is my duty.
i think the man holding her in elevator should be tied up and have his penis cut off while he is wide awake
sad huh?
[…] Shania Davis Was Only Five Years Old! What is This World Coming to? There doesn’t seem to be a night that goes by without a child’s face being flashed on the screen […] […]
I lost sleep over Caylee Anythony!!!!! This takes it!!!! WHO DOES THIS?????? Monster is too kind!!! I only hope this beautiful, precious, little girl went quickly, and is now one of god’s most precious angels…………..smiling down at her beloved daddy…… rest in peace, Shania, little girl…………………
the person who led the tip why are they not under question I would think by them having so much information that they could have stopped this child from being killed
You have a point, so many times somone knows and god only knows why they dont say anything. One time i asked a woman in that situation why, and she said it would cause problems in her family is was easier not to, and i couldnt bite my tongue i told her she had to be one of the sorriest ppl i know to let a child go thru that because of what ppl would think about her family, but now she has no family they are alive but none will have anything to do with her. All i can tell any adult is that we have lived our lives give children a chance to live theirs
Hi Victoria: Any adult who a child comes to to tell of something bad happening to them who does not step in is in my opinion just as responsible for what happens. These are small, innocent and miraculous creatures who look to us to guide them and protect them from the monsters. I don’t care if my child told me a closest family member, you are gone, and better pray that law enforcement gets to you before I do…
I’m sorry but I think this father was negligent. The mother had serious problems in the past and I just believe he should have done more investigating before he turned this child over to the incubator. I think he should have seen for himself the environment she would be living in and met the people her mother associated with. My sister-in-law breeds Wheaton Terriers and she does more investigating of families before she gives up a puppy than this Dad apparently did.
It’s not clear to me how often he visited her, and appparently he did not know she had been taken out of school. There maybe information out there that could explain why he did what he did but at this time I do feel he failed his daughter.
This whole thing is disgusting. How people do these things to helpless children. I don’t have any kids and I fear for my beautiful nieces, 1, 5 and 10 yrs old, and all children. And then just recently a 15 year old girl killing a child. This is the ugly, ugly side of humanity.
Hi Linda: This is a scary world we live in. I continue to believe as I have stated many times that it all boils down to parents being responsible for their own. We have allowed this generation to run wild, threaten parents with law enforcement if they discipline them, tied the hands of teachers who are the authority figures away from home and in turn we are seeing children murdered, molested, and in the case of the 15 year old murderer : WHERE WERE THE PARENTS? I know as a mother of two teenage boys I cannot watch them every moment however, if they are taught from day one action and consequence, respect for authority, and right from wrong, a parent should be able to know that when they walk out that door in the morning these things are in their heads before making any decision. I am not a perfect parent by any means, but I know where they are,what they are doing onthe computer, cellphones, in school and most importantly from the day they were born my husband and I have had an open line of communication at all times. My children tell me everything(even things I don’t want to really know 🙂 ) It takes more than making them and buying them everything they want to be a good parent.
It’s unfortunate that Shaniya’s father, or his sister didn’t take the time to go inside the filthy hellhole where they were leaving this precious child.
Why didn’t the kindergarden phone the father when she stopped attending?
Why did the CPS allow a seven yr. old boy to live in that dug infested filth?
Why was the SOB rapist/killer PAROLED??
I do not understand how you can drop a child at this filthy trailer park and not have any idea who is there inside. They never checked on the child or called her? I am so sad at what this precious child endured with this monster. I am sure her mom had told her not to discuss anything that happened at that hole she was staying in. I hope they burn a slow death–all of them–I know the father meant well but why not get a nanny and get full custody of this child. WHO CARES WHAT KIND OF MOM SHE WANTED TO BE…
Hi Judy, I apologize you were caught up in spam for some reason. I know that the father is questioning every decision he made right now. I cannot say that I want him to be held just as accountable as the mother because anyone ho has ever dealt with someon who is involved in drugs knows the first thing they are really good at is being convincing. We would all like to say that we would never make the same decision but we are not aware of just how convincing she was or how long it took him to make the decision to allow her to go.
Hadley: These are all great points, and unfortunately these seem to be recurring points time and again in these cases. I can’t answer why the kindergarten didn’t call other than I do know that in my chids school if I fill out the paperwork and say that I am in an ongoing custody battle or that my childrens father is not allowed to be contacted,they will write that with no further information. Our system that was designed to protect our children unfortunately seems to be so broken and this is the one that should be the utmost priority.
Imyself have biracial children. When I first saw the story I’ve kept up with it day/night. Shynia looks like my daughter. I was abused as a child and I have done everything in my power to make sure my children were safe daily. That is a mothers job. Her children are her ministry. Her aunt Carrie was her mother. Antonitte doesn’t deserve that title. As they bury her today I pray this family finds peace & comfort. My heart cries for Shynia and her family.
Hi Liz: As unfortunate as your childhood was, it was refreshing to hear that you not only broke the cycle but have made such an effort to protect your children. Too often your story is not the one that is heard, there are too many who have suffered as children at the hands of their parents and do not know how to begin to heal themselves let alone how to not hurt their children. No Antionette never deserved the title, and unfortunately her daughter was nothing more than a payday for her. Sadly, some will blame Shanyia’s father for allowing her to go, yet I commend him for being selfless and wanting to let his daughter have this relationship. I grew up with an aunt who was a massive drug addict and my parents took her child away from her when she was three, however, what that child endured in three years we will never know the extent of. These people are the best con artists ever and will do anything or hurt anyone to get what they need. Thanks for sharing, and in just reading your short paragraph, I am proud to share the title “Mother” with you~
we can blame our “system” just as much for her death as the actual “ass bag” that committed it…our “system” drops the ball everyday when it comes to protecting the innocent….i personally feel that those who are apart of the system should have some accountability, but sadly they do not…and whats with this “protective” custody nonsense???…little shania wasnt protected, so why is the “ass bag” that killed her??…the law is suppose to “serve and to “protect”…well, just who are they “serving” and “protecting”???
Hawk: Yes unfortunately we do have a very flawed system to say the least, yet my frustration is with the parents of children who refuse to take the responsibility for raising their children. We have become a society where there is no line between parent and child anymore and it started with our judicial system giving children the power and taking it away from the parent. When a child knows they are able to call the police if their parents discipline them it creates an absolute anarchy. No in this case that was not the problem, however it is a trickle down effect. Too often nowadays, these parents who have chosen drugs, men, and whatever else over their children are never held accountable. I feel for Shanias father as he tried to give her the opportunity to have the relationship with her mother and unfortunately a relationship was not what her mother wanted. This woman should be given death. I don’t know if it is because I have paid attention since the Casey Anthony case or if it has seemed to cause some sort of an epidemic, but too many of this worlds children are suffering at the very hands of those who should protect them at all costs. Casey Anthony has been allowed to sit in jail for over a year and the example given to those contemplating hurting their children is that as long as you don’t admit it you will not be held accountable for it. It is time that parents start being parents, children are children, and our judicial system step in only when absolutely necessary. When I grew up it was not only my parents I respected, it was any authority figure. If you were introuble in school, you would much rather take any consequence than having your parents called. Today, the parents are the ones who are making these children into our future world. It is not going to be pretty if someone doesn’t make it stop.
This is truly tragic. If people don’t think evil exists, it does. In hearts and minds of people with no soul. The truth is you have to answer to this life when you die. And I heard for every action and word you did to someone else you will experience that in your death. So I hope that girls mother will feel what she put her own daughter through. God is way more forgiving than I am. And it is so sad God loves us to give us the power of choice and this is how her mother chose to live her life. A very sad choice indeed. This is not the world God wanted us to create. So sad. That girl will be in my heart and prayers. No one deserves a death like what she went through. Any idiot can have a child. Pure evil.
Hi Superchick: I agree with you wholeheartedly. Yes anyone can have a child. I did a post about this a long time ago in reference to Casey Anthony. I as a mother have raised my sons to respect authority, know that every action has a consequence and that above all else I along with their father do what we do for them. I am in no way a perfect parent and I have made some mistakes along the way, however, my children are mine, not the teachers, the system or anyone elses. It is my responsibility to make them great men and if they become monsters in their adult life, it is I who failed. Yes we all face a judgement day, yet it is here in this life that there seems to be no justice for these poor children who have never had the experience of what it is like to be a child.
Thanks halfpint. But I’m not trying to come off judgemental on all parents. I just want to say there are parents out there who care and want to do the best for their children because they own that responsibility like yourself. And then there are some real monsters out there. I just can’t wrap my mind around how that is the biggest violation of life. I can’t even begin the twisted thought process of what happened to that little girl and people who would prey on that innocence. When I said soul less I meant it. Because there cannot be a heart if a person does that to another. It is horrific.
That father was nuts too to let that mother have visitation rights. I mean he’s not even with her in a relationship so what type of nutso logic to just have his child over at the mothers without him there is beyond me. I swear it’s like people are asleep at the wheel. He doesn’t sound too smart either. The people who were supposed to protect Shania just failed miserably.
I have a 7mos old neice and 8yr old nephew. I worry about these predators who are out there. And they can be your neighbors, teachers, ministers. I mean some nutsos. I pray my neice and nephew grow up safe. As a family we will be their teachers and protectors. It’s like that is something my family knows we are responsible for. So when I see these parents not questioning things or don’t see things, I’m thinking how clueless — there were lots of red flags for the father. So I hold him as much responsible. Now he wants to paint it like it was just the mother, the responsibility was on him too!!
superchik I agree with you 100%. Yes both parents are to blame especially when they both had choices to be made. It’s sad though… there are some out there that don’t have brains of a piss ant. common sense escapes their world. their just plan stupid! i feel for the children of peeps like this, look at the ones that have the little ones that don’t have anything to eat… but dad and mom spend what little money they do have on cigs and beer instead of food…. sometimes it’s a shame that we have the freedom to have children that have to be born into that kind of world.
My heart goes out to this little girl i myself have a 5 year old by-racial daughter and a ten year old by-racial son, shania looks exactly like my daughter, since this tragedy i’ve been crying and having sleepless nights thinking about this little girl and what, a horrific thing happen to her, i feel as though she was my own child my heart is broken because her parent failed her i am still crying as i type this response. Oh god i hope this never happens to any other child. God bless shaq o neil for having empath for shania’s family by doing what he can possibly do to help the family. I am broken the lord is my shepherd i shall not want.
this story is so sad the world is surly coming to an end God is coming back soon so you better get right
And how many times was LE called to that home? Another lapse in the system, LE not doing their jobs, they should’ve removed that child from the home once again and also the father of that child should’ve never given her over to that scumbag mother, just like the Anthony case, just like the girl in Cali who was held hostage for yrs, and LE skipping over that and the Cummings Case, LE being so damned lazy, must be the Florida heat and the Somer Thompson case, another one from Florida, and LE not going above and beyond. How many tips was passed over in that case also!!! It’s becoming sickening. Everything is about money, not just the bankers. It’s law enforcment also. Dont you think they’re being paid by the drug dealers etc to look the other way???? Please it happens more than you know…Too much corruption especially in Florida. Get rid of the bafoons!
I agree that she is a monster she doesent deserve the title MOTHER” & the demon who calls himself a man involved in this, doesnt deserve the comfort of our prison system,GOD has a place far worse than we can imagine. SHANIA baby” GOD KNEW U & LOVED U, far before we knew u. HUGZ & KISSES little princess
may shania rest in peace. i found out about this in an old newspaper article and i cried so much. Anyone that had to do with her death should be killed how dare someone do that to a sweet inocent little girl.
Hi Ali:
Sorry for the delay, I have been taking care of some medical issues. Yes this is such a sad case. I have heard the mother be excused due to her addiction problems. I say TOO BAD SO SAD FOR HER ADDICTION, BUT THERE IS NO EXCUSE THAT IS ACCEPTABLE FOR WHAT SHE DID!
Shania had a good life without her mother, and sadly a father who felt he was doing the right thing by allowing her to start a new relationship with her mother will forever be reminded that if he didn’t send her to this monster she would still be alive.
