    I wish Shaniya's father didn't trust her mother to love their daughter as much as he did. I wish he had terminated the mother's parental rights.

    I don't know how he's going to survive this.

    I can't stop crying. This world makes me so angry, sad and confused because stuff like this just shouldn't happen. Not to babies. This grieves me so much, because there's so many children that go through this every-fucking-day. And this poor baby. God. I don't even know what else to write. I'm sorry for rambling.

    Rest in peace, Shaniya. I really wished for the best. I did. #shaniyadavis

    Um, what was the point? She sold her child to die? I guess the thoughts of a coldhearted disgusting excuse for a human is hard for me to comprehend...but seriously, what was the point? #shaniyadavis

    If she accidentally got eaten by an alligator today, it would relieve me of the guilt I feel in envisioning her being given a nice lethal injection once her child is delivered. #shaniyadavis

    @LilyBonesBurana: I would love it if Davis accidentally fell into deep, narrow well filled with fire ants on the hottest, most humid day of a North Carolina summer. While she had a yeast infection. My punishment for McNeil is unspeakable.

    I don't feel the need to forgive either of them. I tried to imagine what Davis must be feeling, what situation she must have been in to do what she did to her daughter. She is a monster and I couldn't begin to understand. #shaniyadavis

    I live in Raleigh, which is not far from Fayetteville where this is happening and everyone is just shocked and disgusted and deeply upset.

    I am literally sick at the thought that someone can intentionally harm a child. And then I read this: [www.nytimes.com]

    It is mass exploitation of children news day.

    I don't understand adults. How can you hurt a child?

    And ever since I became a mom, reading these things hurts so much more. #shaniyadavis

    I often try to put myself into other peoples' shoes - trying to figure out where they're coming from, why they do the things that they do so that there's a reason for it - even if it's not a good one so that I can say "I see why he/she did what they did." But this? This deplorable display of behavior on part of all parties involved in her demise is beyond my comprehension. My heart aches for her father and every person that loves her. Nobody deserves this. #shaniyadavis

    I feel dizzy just reading all of this. It is so hard for me to wrap my head around how people can treat children (or anyone, for that matter) this way. The evil and soulless certainly walk among us.

    This is horrible. And it was next to my house. Seriously. Less than half a mile away. My friend passed it yesterday while we were on the phone and we wondered if they had found her.

    @PilgrimSoul: It also speaks to what I'm guessing is a lack of proper treatment for drug addiction and/or mental illness (or a lack of access to treatment for mental illness, which in turn leads to self-medication via drug addiction).

    I'm jumping the gun on the "hardcore drugs" and "severe mental illness" things here as my heart hurts too much at the moment to comprehend how this could happen otherwise. #shaniyadavis

    @hortense: It is incomprehensible. But most drug addicts and people suffering from mental illness would NOT sell their child. Yes, drug addiction can and does lead people to do things they would not otherwise do, but selling a child? No. I do not know the details of Ms. Davis' life, but if she in fact did the things she is accused of, she did them because she is profoundly selfish, cruel, vindictive, heartless and evil. Not because she is on drugs or possibly mentally ill. And for the record, yes, treatment for addicts and the mentally ill is woeful and inadequate. But speaking for the addicted and the crazy, "don't lump in that asshole with the rest of us." #shaniyadavis
