In one of the more morbid displays of human apathy, the Facebook Live suicide video of a 12-year-old girl, Katelyn Nicole Davis, continues to go viral, and the police are helpless to stop its spread.

Katelyn was a bright young girl, a student at Cedartown Middle School in Polk Count, Georgia, when she became the victim of abuse.

The young girl hung herself from a tree in her yard on December 30 after alleging in her blog that she had been both sexually and physically abused by a male relative. According to the blog, Davis claimed the man had struck her with a studded belt and had tried to rape her.

When she begged him stop “stop being so perverted in front of my younger siblings,” says the Daily Mail, the man told her to go hang herself. Katelyn apparently suffered from depression, and in an additional blog post on December 27, she discussed different ways of committing suicide.

Katelyn hung herself in a video that lasted approximately 20 minutes, and a woman’s voice can evidently be heard in the background calling Katelyn’s name. The suicide video was streamed over Facebook Live and was taken down quickly by Facebook authorities.

Unfortunately, the video was up long enough for the dark side of the internet to get its fangs into the tragic broadcast. Polk County Police Chief Kenny Dodd told the media that he is unable to stop people from sharing the video. There is currently no legal recourse for the law enforcement agencies to take down and stop the spread of the horrific video.
