Katelyn Nicole Davis suicide.

On December 30, 2016 a 12 year old girl from Georgia live streamed a 42 minute video that starts with her walking out of her house, getting a rope and a bucket, hanging the rope from a tree, she stands on a bucket, puts the rope around neck, tells everyone how she is sorry, how she is worthless, says "goodbye" and then kicks the bucket out from under her, killing herself.

The last 20 minutes of the video is just of her hanging from a tree. You can hear her mother calling for her in the background, calling her phone and texting her. The video cuts off after 42 minutes.

I'm not gonna post the video here but it can be easily found by doing a Google search.

The entire story is just sad and depressing. How a 12 year old could have such a miserable life, feel so hated, wanting to die and actually going through with it.

Has anyone else read about this or watched the suicide video and what do you think? I've been thinking about this and it's been bothering me for days.

Yes, this was a very sad video to watch.

Especially when she says "why am I crying" then hangs herself.

There have been other suicide videos online, however, this one was more disturbing due to the fact of her young age.

It is too bad she didn't get some kind of help before it was too late.

Curiosity got the better of me and I watched the video. Wish I hadn't. Hearing her mum call out for her towards the end was heart breaking. She wrote in her diary that her step dad was sexually abusing her so that probably had a lot to do with why she did it.

I've heard about it. This happened in my area. She actually lived about 20 minutes outside of my hometown.There wasn't any mention of her death in the paper. I know a few people that were related to her. It's a very heartbreaking story. My niece is her age and I worry about her seeing the video and following her footsteps

I couldn't help but watch the video and it crushed me. I found videos of her on youtube. Apparently she was planning on starting a vlog type channel a few weeks before her suicide. There are only two videos on her channel but she seems like such a sweet little girl full of life. I think those videos of her hurt me more than the suicide video because I saw what she was leaving behind....

Pray for her friends and family

If you're anything like me, it'll bother you for days. Then there's the other live stream videos on YouTube of the girl and her Mother getting into a fight. And she's crying and asking her Mom why she stayed with this guy who was touching her and then there's the videos of her saying she had no food cuz there was none in the house. And then the diary about how her bedroom was flooded with water and she had to sleep on the floor. The whole thing is just so damn sad and depressing. There's only ever been 3 other things that I've read/researched that depressed me like this. One of them was Columbine, one was the suicide of Kurt Cobain, one was the death of Baby Briana and now this. I'll probably never forget about any of them.

I went ahead and watched it, and it's incredibly sad.

This is extremely heart breaking. I immediately regretted watching the video.

I have a 14 year old that was diagnosed bipolar two years ago and if not for seeing the early signs (runs in her mothers side of the family) I fear that this could have been my little girl.
I know that there were other variables that attributed to this young girls ultimate demise. I can't help but think, if only someone could have seen this coming? My God she's just a baby! why didn't someone see this? So sad, this has absolutely ruined my day.

I also saw the video. It's hard to believe how young she was. Her home life must have been pretty bad if she saw this as her only option.  

I haven't seen the other videos of her arguing with her mom... What was her mom's response when she asked why she stayed with a guy who was touching her??  Supposedly her blog was taken down and so was the suicide video from several sites

The suicide video can be easily found.

Here is her blog if you want to read it as well (click next to go through it):

She was making excuses saying stuff like "well he's not here now is he"? And Katelyn asks her why she didn't get rid of him sooner. Here's the links to those 2 videos. It's an argument and for most of the time, the phone is in her Mother's pocket because she takes it from her. Her Mother is mocking her a bit for being mentally ill. Saying stuff like "go take your pill" so that she'll stop acting up. She's also yelling at her for not taking care of her little sister and brother. This girl was 12, why was it up to her to take care of these little kids. Anyway, here is the videos. They are each about 8 minutes long.

I haven't seen the video and I am not going to look for it. This is just heartbreaking to me on so many levels. I have seen the videos she posted of her arguments with her mother though. Sad thing all the way around. She was only 12. She was a baby.

Thanks [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] for the links! I just watched the video where she argues with her mom. That girl was 12 years old and had a better sense of responsibility than her mother does. The mom sounds very selfish and immature. Pawning off her younger kids in her eldest daughter... What a sad, unfair life that poor girl had. Unfortunately, realistically her situation is not uncommon. I hear a lot of stories about kids who have parents similar to Katelyn's mom and live sad, harsh lives. Its really a shame, and I hope Katelyn's story can somehow raise awareness for kids living in bad environments with abusive parents, and make it easier for someone to step in and help.

You are welcome Kiwik

Really sad. For many reasons.

I just cannot fathom how much despair she bottled up, to be so damn determined to do the deed at such a young age?
I remember my first suicidal thoughts came exactly when I was in her age, but did not even attempt it. Even though I felt very hopeless then. So I wonder how hopeless she felt?

Why didn't anyone take her seriously?

I remember being twelve--it was one of the worst years of my life and the first time I felt truly suicidal. Poor girl and her poor family. I hate it when people say kids have nothing to be depressed about, in comparison to REAL LYFE GROWN-UP PROBLEMS--liiike I dunno, taxes or whatever. And I wish I could have said 'it gets better' to her, but again, who knows? We can't say that for sure.

We never know what is going on in somebody's life I guess, people will comment about her suicide but 10 or 20 years will people care like they do about columbine unlikely it will be forgotten.
Nobody really pays much attention to suicide victim unless they are like E and D.

Wow. No way am I watching that. The description alone has made my stomach lurch. What a poor, poor baby. Things like this bother me a lot, so I try not to get attached. I wonder if any legal action will be taken against the mother. I have no idea what, or even if, they would charge her with.

Apparently she used Quotev, which is a site that I also use.
People were sad and shit but I was still wondering why no one reported her account because you have to be 13 to join Quotev.
I've seen the video and I fucking hate how I didn't cringe or cry or anything. I've seen so much fucking violence, so much death that a 12 year old fucking hanging doesn't affect me whatsoever and I can continue my day like nothing happened.
I've seen so much gore, so many people getting shot in the head with shotguns which results in their entire fucking face being splattered all over the floor or wall, so much fucking dismemberment and murder and shit that it no longer affects me and it honestly scares me.

@InsaneInstruder holy crap! Why have you seen so much awful stuff? Is it your job? I'm not familiar with your backstory.

Nah, more of just morbid curiosity.
Like the many "things you shouldn't google" videos and (being the REBEL!!!!!111!!1111111!!11111ONEONEONE I am) I decided "Well fuck it in a bucket, I'm gonna risk it for a chocolate biscuit". Then I watched all of the videos that they told me not to google and saw all the gore and I kept doing that and I guess it just stopped having an effect on me.

I'm not exactly in an area with the gangsters with the MAC 10s, however my city has some gangs so maybe one day I'll find out if I'm truly numb to violence or if it's just because I'm hiding behind a computer screen. But I never go out anyway so that probably won't happen.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Gotcha. So you're pretty much desensitized to violence and gore? I am, to a degree, based on my job. But I don't watch stuff like that, because I just don't need anything else weighing on my mind. I didn't know if you were military or law enforcement, so that's why I asked.

We are now approaching 2 years since this tragic event occurred. The feelings I have about this after 2 years are still the same. Today 2 years ago, Katelyn posted these on her Quotev account. This one at 11:06AM

Dear Diary,
This Christmas has been the worst Christmas ever. And it's not just because I hate the holiday itself. It's much more than that. I met him for the first time in a while. The one, that hurt me the most, my stepfather.
My stepfather did a lot of things to me, that it seems I cannot forgive him for. He physically, mentally, and verbally abused me. He struck me with his leather belt that has silver studs, making sure that the studs hit me. He once hit me so hard with the belt on my arm, that my arm started to bleed. He even... He tried to rape me.
I can't and I won't forgive him for everything he has done. He told me to "hang myself" just because I asked him if he would stop being so perverted in front of my younger siblings. He cussed me and called me a "worthless whore" and that I should kill myself. He made me sleep in my room that is literally falling apart. He wouldn't let me do anything. I got into the National Leaders Association for Young Leaders. They were going to help me with my College. But of course, he said I was to stupid to be in something like that, and he burned it in front of my face.
I was forced to see him again on Christmas. That was the worst part of the whole day. He touched my siblings. He touched me, yet we were forced to see him. I will NEVER forgive him.  
Well, I need to finish up this entry. If I don't now, I'll be here all day. So, the question of the day is: What would have you done if you saw someone who hurt you? Comment below your answers. Till next time, Bye.
Sincerely,

This second one is a very emotional post to read.... posted at 11:28PM

Dear Diary,
It hurts. Everything hurts. My heart, my soul, my feelings, my body... It just all fucking hurts. But now, I enjoy this pain. I enjoy being heart broken. I enjoy my depression. I just fucking enjoy it all!
Sorry, I got carried away. I'm just lost. I need to pray to God tonight. Maybe he'll help me find the answers I so desperately need. I take medicine for my depression, but it doesn't work too well.
I did something unforgivable tonight. It's been one month since I last done it. I cut. Not just my wrist like usual. I cut my shoulder, near my elbow, and both thighs.
It hurts so bad. But what hurts worse is my depression. If my mother were to find out I cut again, I'll be in deep shit. I don't know what I'm going to do. I feel so dissapointed in myself because I know now that I'm weak.
I feel like hanging myself with a cord. Just tying a cord around my ceiling fan and getting a bucket. Then tying it around my neck and jumping. Then greeting death. That's what I feel like doing.
Or even taking a knife and slitting my throat. That's good, too. Maybe cutting my wrists too deep? I don't know. However, I do know that I can't let these demons get me, no matter how much I want to kill myself.
Well, until next time I guess. Question of the night: what are some ways to not cut that helps with depression? Comment below so I can use them and so others can too.
sincerely,
      Dolly

The second posts has a picture of her thighs, with really bad cuts... It is very hard to look straight at it without having a sense of sadness. She was only 12. Right now, she would've been 14, and would've been in High school as a Freshman

Well, today's the day, 2 years ago this evening; Katelyn Nicole Davis died by suicide outside of her home and the event was streamed on Live.me. Around this time 3 hours ago was when the 42 minute steam ended.

Last September, her mother and some other unrelated person were arrested for drug possession (not surprised) (Link)


The mobile home in which Katie and her family lived in was leveled in 2017 and the property remains empty.

Rest In Peace, Katelyn Nicole Davis; 2004 - 2016

Jesus fucking christ. I've heard of this case before but never knew the actual video would be so easy to find. I thought I was pretty desensitized to this kind of thing, but even I wish I didn't watch it. I just hope she's happier now, wherever she is. R.I.P

I think I'm completely desensitised, I was skipping through her speech before her suicide out of boredom, looking for the part where she did it.
