Child Predator is own child’s worst nightmare

As a parent I am horrified about hearing the news that 5 year old Shaniya Davis was not only reported to be sold to pay for her mothers drug habit, but I just learned that Shaniya Davis was reportedly found dead.

Antoinette Nicole Davis, her mother faces many charges, but what really is troubling to me is that for many parents who ask for my help in teaching them and their children safety tips, I truly do not know how to address this one.

I can teach children and parents on what to do to avoid predators, especially someone they do not know, what I cannot teach, especially to a 5 year old is avoiding the people that they trust the most, their mother and father.

There had to have been signs that people or family members should have seen. Why didn’t anyone do anything. I know that once the ball was rolling, Fox News did a great deal in spreading the word and getting her picture and the hotel her father and her visited up on the television.

We as a society need to start going back to the villiage mentality. It takes all of us to raise the children, not just one of us.

Keep your child safe and educate them on the dangers in the world.
