The mother of 5-year-old Shaniya Davis, who has been missing for several days, has been charged in connection with the child's disappearance.

Antoinette Nicole Davis has been charged by Fayetteville police with human trafficking, felony child abuse, prostitution and filing a false police report.

Police dropped kidnapping charges against another man, Clarence Coe, who was arrested Thursday. The other man charged, Mario Andrette McNeil, is still in police custody, but has divulged no information on Shaniya Davis' whereabouts.

McNeil is the man seen on grainy videotape surveillance holding Shaniya Davis.
Clarence Coe and family members of the child's mother have confirmed that McNeil is the former boyfriend of Antoinette Davis' sister.

McNeil has been charged with first-degree kidnapping.

Shaniya's mother (left) told police that the child simply vanished from a couch in her Fayetteville mobile home on Tuesday around 5:30 a.m.


Anyone with further information on Shaniya's whereabouts is urged to contact Fayetteville Police at 910-433-1856.
