Antoniette Davis mugshot

Police say Shaniya Davis is still missing, and her mother is allegedly involved with the child’s disappearance.  Police say Antoniette Nicole Davis, the mother of Shaniya Davis, is facing a variety of charges to include Human Trafficking, Prostituting a Child, Filing a False Police Report, and Resist delay or Obstructing Justice.  Antoniette Nicole Davis, 25, is currently being held on a $50,000 bail. 

Earlier this evening, on November 15, 2008, around 6:00 p.m. I spoke with Shaniya’s father Bradley Lockhart.  He told me that all he wants is his daughter to be brought home.  Bradley has a message to the person or persons who has little Shaniya: “take her somewhere safe, a hospital, a police department, she’s a special young lady, she has a family that loves her, and we want her back.”  Bradley said on October 9, 2009, his sister dropped Shaniya off at Antoniette’s home.  At that time, Bradley was in Portland, Oregon working (he is a contractor, and sometimes has to travel).  Antoniette told him he wanted to keep Shaniya for a bit, and he thought she finally wanted to be a mother — so he gave her a chance.  For the last five years, Bradley says he’s the one who has taken care of his little girl,“I had limited contact with Antoniette, I used to have to beg her to see her child,” Bradley says.
