Speaking with The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Shaq reached out to the child's father Bradley Lockhart and asked if there was anything he could do to help the family. He stated,

“I was sitting at home watching it on the news, and the story brought a tear to my eye.”

Over 20,000 people attended the going home service for Shaniya in North Carolina whose body was found on November 16th.

Shaniya's mother, Antoinette Davis, who had previously reported her daughter missing, is being charged with human trafficking and child abuse involving prostitution. Her “friend” Mario McNeill is being charged with kidnap, rape and murder. Have fun in the pen Mario and Antoinette because we hear they love to “welcome” child predatory aficionados such as yourselves.

Thanks for steeping in Shaq as now little Shaniya can finally rest in peace as it looks like she never had the chance while here on Earth.

Police discovered hair and fibers, clothes, and a straw from McNeill's 1997 Mitsubishi Galant.

5-year-old Shaniya Davis's body was discovered Monday on the side of a road outside of the city.

As previously reported Antoinette Nicole Davis, the mother of Shaniya, is facing charges of child prostitution, human trafficking, child abuse and filing a false police report.

According to arrest documents cited by local newspaper, The Fayetville Observer, Davis “knowingly provided Shaniya Davis with the intent that she be held in “sexual servitude” and she “permitted an act of prostitution.”

Disgusting! Lock them both in jail for life!
