Mom Of Girl Who Hung Herself On Facebook Live Streamed The Suicide Until Her Daughter's Last Breath

A scathing report claims a Florida mother insulted her daughter and encouraged her to kill herself as the girl live-streamed her final moments before committing suicide.

An investigation conducted by the Florida Department of Children and Families said that while state foster care workers could have done a better job monitoring Naika Venant, her mother, Gina Alexis, played a key role in the 14-year-old's death, as the Associated Press and Miami Herald reported.

The report alleged Alexis mocked the girl — and even cheered on her death — while viewing Naika's three-hour-long goodbye on Facebook Live earlier this year.

The woman never alerted authorities for help as she watched her daughter's video, the report alleged, and later accused the welfare system of causing the girl's death.

Alexis had given Naika up in 2016, saying at the time that she didn't want her at home.

Naika had been in and out of foster care since 2009, according to the NY Daily News, and was allegedly beaten and sexually abused for years. She reportedly cycled through 14 placements in her last year alone and was worried that she would "age out" of foster care. 

"Despite everything that had occurred between Naika and her mother, Naika longed to be home," the report stated. "Naika often told her therapist that she greatly missed her mother and really wanted to go back home."

Naika live-streamed her goodbye over the course of several hours on January 22, announcing she'd be committing suicide as hundreds of people watched.

Just before Naika hung herself with a scarf in the shower stall of her latest foster home, Alexis allegedly wrote the following message:

"#ADHD games played u sad little DCF custody jit that’s why u where u at for this dumb sh*t n more u keep crying wolf u dead u will get buried life goes on after a jit that doesn't listen to there parents trying to be grown seeking boys and girls attention instead of her books."

Alexis wasn't the only person egging the girl on: the Daily News reported other viewers encouraged her to die and said her talk of suicide was "all an act."

Howard Talenfeld, one of the attorneys representing Alexis, said the report relies on "inaccurate information and is an apparent whitewash of the systemic failures" of the foster care system.

This is just super sad. We someone—if not her own mother—would have helped Naika.
