Rest in Peace Shaniya! (Update)

Update:  
Brad Lockhart (the father) speaking to the public and press 
regarding his sweet baby girl angel Shaniya, HERE.




When I heard the series of events that led up to what happened to this sweet FIVE YEAR OLD little girl in North Carolina, I prayed hard that she would be found ALIVE and SAFE. Well, turns out she was found. She was found DEAD.  The headlines are stinging my eyes: 



Girl in prostitution-kid case found dead



This is just way too much to process. Why are BAD things happening to GOOD people? I am still waiting for an answer. 


I just don't understand this at all. During bible study the pastor said there is no such thing as good people and that we are all sinners. Really? A baby is a bad person and a sinner? Really. I am so sad right now. 


I know the father is beyond grief over allowing his daughter to be with her mother only to end up DEAD.

Sigh, that is just so awful :( My heart is hurting for that family.

Yes, we are all sinners, not one of us is good (of course there is a difference between blatant acts of sin and being innocent as this child)..but we do serve a just and loving God. I believe that baby girl is in the precious arms of Jesus right now..so take comfort in that.

I can't speak on this one, because it just leaves me speechless, but ... your paster said there is no such thing as good people and that we are all sinners? I understand the sinners part, only Jesus was perfect ... but there are no good people? I disagree.

The story is so tragic and sad. She was a baby for gosh sakes!

Her dad is probably ridden with guilt blaming himself with "if onlys" This is horrible.
It's hard to comprehend a complete stranger doing something like this to a child but if her mother is involved it's down right impossible to understand.

I couldn't even finish reading the entire story.

It really hurt my heart to read this. I read the article earlier today and just asked myself what kind of mother would do this to her child. It's just beyond sad.
