You are a deeply confused person ... since you are basing this situation on facts then you need to get your facts straight first ... Shaniya was only with her mom for about a week ... her dad decided to give her mother a chance because she was supposedly doing so well and because he knew that Shaniya deserved to have a mom ... He wasn 't being neglectful , he was doing what a parent would do for their child and that is trying to give her the love of her mom and dad ... It wasn 't his fault that the mother was on drugs and it wasn 't his fault that Shaniya was stuck in between that situation .
