(Newser) – The North Carolina woman accused of selling her 5-year-old girl into sexual slavery—the girl's body was found yesterday—is pregnant. Antoinette Davis, 25, is being isolated from other prisoners as a result, reports WTVD. She has not entered a plea to charges of human trafficking, prostitution, and child abuse. Police say she sold young Shaniya to a man for "sexual servitude." Volunteers found Shaniya's body yesterday, and the man remains in custody, though not yet charged.

Where in this story do you see a reference to crack? You see a black woman and conclude from there that she's on crack? What a racist moron you are.

What kind of justice system charges the mother--while the man who was seen carrying the child in a hotel on surveillance cameras, has not yet been charged. Wonder what evidence they had to charge her? That guy's word? Is that why he's not been charged? Are the cops contaminating any potential jury pool much--I'll say they are!!!

give the mother good medical treatment to ensure the child is healthy and well nourished, and drug free during the pregnancy IF that is a factor...then give her the needle.....that poor little girl deserved better than the fate she suffered
