I agree. I think MAM most likely abused little girls of drug addicted mothers before. JMO
I think he knew AD would do whatever it took to get her next fix. She didn't care about Shaniya and used her as a form of payment.
They are both sick!!!

I do not apologize at all in fact I go somewhere that I can say exactly what I think about this case. We should get far more coverage and far less postponements.
If you look at stats the longer it takes to bring a case to a verdict the further it is from peoples memory and the verdicts reflect that.
If we are so clear that all there is is MAM and ,Monster Mom WHAT exactly are they waiting for? It has been over one year They are diluting this case IMHO I am not interested in blending in with the crowd, I am not here to make friends I am not here to pacify the corrupt legal system.
I do respect most people, but when it comes to a case like this one, I am not stoking anyone, regardless of anything.
This case should take place already.

I was confused too. I thought we were talking about Fayetteville. And I was one of those posters who voiced thoughts on how the Fayetteville area is sensitive to crime stats, and also that they have a lot of growth and 'cleanup' (due to aforementioned growth at Bragg and Pope.) But building condos etc to accommodate an influx of 1000's of troops from other bases being closed I don't think really has anything whatsoever to do with Shaniya's case.

NC has a lot of growth over all because it is a beautiful, temperate place to live with excellent golf courses, national parks/natural beauty, world class health care, and world class universities, etc.
It seems a little like saying that Florida is hushing up Haleigh Cummings' case in order to promote tourism.
I mean- people move to Florida because the want to enjoy the sun, the water, and the lifestyle. It's that simple.

Shaniya's case is brought up all the time around here. All the time.

I don't get this approach, I guess.

Just jumping off your post:

As a native NCer, close but not in Fayetteville, I have not heard one peep about this case's effects on tourism or on any aspect of NC. Not one thing. The whole premise seems very odd to me.

I think I should take the blame here...

I posted this:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fayetteville,_North_Carolina

Fayetteville has attempted to reverse the image of its downtown area through various downtown revitalization projects, with mixed results. New additions, such as the Airborne & Special Operations Museum, The Fayetteville Area Transportation Museum, Fayetteville Linear Park, and Fayetteville Festival Park, which opened in late 2006, have all contributed somewhat to the changing downtown area. The city still has a very high crime rate.

The towns and rural areas surrounding Fayetteville have experienced rapid growth over the past decade. This growth has spilled over into suburbs such as Hope Mills, Raeford and Spring Lake.

The western part of Cumberland County was annexed into Fayetteville in recent years.

In 2008, BestLife Magazine, using data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the National Center for Education Statistics, the FBI, the American Association of Museums, the National Center for Health Statistics and the American Bar Association, ranked Fayetteville as the 3rd worst city in America to raise a family.[4]

Recently, Where To Retire magazine named Fayetteville one of the best places to retire[5].

In 2005 Congress mandated that due to the BRAC (Base Realignment and Closure) effort Fort Bragg would gain several new commands. The Army will be closing down United States Forces Command and the United States Reserve Command in Atlanta and moving them to Fort Bragg. This move is expected to relocate over 30,000 people to the area as a result of the command changes and businesses that will move to support the command. FORSCOM awards over $300 billion in contracts annually

Now, being the cynical and ultra-realist that I am, I expressed a worry that Shaniya might be lost in the effort to revitalize and regentrify Fayetteville. I know firsthand that politics (money) win out. I hope to God that I am wrong.

I'm so glad y'all keep bumping this one along. I'd lost track of Shaniya's case because I stay so focused on Haleigh and now Kyron. Suddenly today, out of the blue while at work, I saw the image of the monster carrying little Shaniya out of the motel. Guess my subconscious was reminding me that it was time to check in. Thanks for all of the updates and articles. I'm as anxious as anyone to see the gavel come down on this case. The process is complicated, though, and if it takes another nine months, so be it. As long as we reach the right outcome.

Rest in peace, little one.

Anyone feel like digging for a top 10 list of cities or communities (over 50,000) with a major crack/cocaine/heroin problem- and how that relates to the sex trade, and child sex trafficking in particular?

I am so burnt by the last couple of months, that I can't bring myself to do it. TIA.

songline I don't think there is any need to apologize for your anger. Our legal system does not work like so many of us would like it to work....but it is a system that protects the rights of as many as possible- as much as it can under its' moral constraints- until proven guilty.

MAM and AD have unfortunately not been proven guilty yet, though so many of us wish they had been.
I don't believe anyone is stoking anything here... I think we are all just biding time, trying to respect that particular foundation of American justice.

Peace, my friend. We all love, and want justice, for Shaniya.
