Track 95: Shaniya Davis

Shaniya Davis should have been occupied with 5 year old things, like starting kindergarten or playing with her friends.  But, her upbringing provided unique challenges.  Her mother was battling a drug addiction and as such, was not fit to be a parent.  As a result, Shaniya was raised primarily by her dad, Bradley, from around age 1 to age 5.  But in September 2009, the living arrangements change and Shaniya is impacted by this decision in a horrific way.
