The police claims that the family did not cooperate with the probe until December is questionable. They say Davis provided information that led them to subpoena an IP address connected to the messages, after Nia was released on November 29th.
“Failure to promptly investigate this easily discoverable information by the Pembroke Pines Police Department caused (Nia Whims) to remain in a juvenile detention facility away from her family for eleven days,” the lawsuit claims.
The family’s attorney, Marwan Porter said, “They need to make sure they do their homework prior to putting our children in handcuffs and locking them up.”
Framed on Instagram
“That platform was used to frame Nia,” Porter added, meaning she was framed on Instagram.
Meta, the parent company for Instagram, allegedly failed to “promptly provide or cooperate with the investigating officers,” which led to the long delay in clearing Nia, the lawsuit states.
Davis says the family wants to hold those responsible… accountable.
