A VULNERABLE 14-year-old foster child tragically broadcast her own suicide live to the world on social media.

Nakia Venant had started a livestream — reportedly on Facebook Live — when she hung herself at her Miami home just after 3am local time on Sunday.

Efforts to save the girl were thwarted by a series of accidents after a friend reported the two-hour livestream to police and provided them with the wrong Miami address, the Miami Herald reported.

Emergency workers rushed to the wrong house and learned of Nakia’s address — where they later found her hanging in the bathroom as her foster parents slept.

The girl was rushed to Jackson North Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Her close friend Gerta Telfort described Nakia as a good student with lots of charisma.

She said Nakia, a seventh-grader at Young Women’s Preparatory Academy, hoped to one day write a book and had started a daily journal.

Nakia, her mother’s only girl, had a younger brother. It was not clear why she was placed in foster care.

Those who commented on Nakia’s Facebook page — which has since been deleted — said she livestreamed her suicide on Facebook Live, the Miami Herald reported.

It was not officially confirmed that Nakia used Facebook Live to broadcast her suicide.

But company spokesperson Christine Chen said Facebook aims to interrupt livestreams that go against community standards “as quickly as possible.”

“We also suggest people contact law enforcement or emergency services themselves if they become aware of something where the authorities can help,” Chen said in a statement to the Miami Herald.

A Miami Gardens police spokesman was not immediately available for comment.

Nakia’s tragic suicide occurs just weeks after a Georgia child hanged herself in a 40-minute live video.

Katelyn Nicole Davis, 12, posted her chilling death on a site called Live.me.
