NY POST – A tormented Georgia girl hanged herself in her front yard and live streamed it — and local police say they are powerless to take down the disturbing, now-viral footage.

Katelyn Nicole Davis, 12, filmed her suicide outside her Cedartown home on Dec. 30 after sharing that she had been sexually abused by a family member.

The footage shows the tragic pre-teen dangling from a tree for about 20 minutes while a woman shouts her name off camera.

Cops didn’t arrive in time to save her, and she was pronounced dead at the Polk Medical Center.

Since her death, the footage of her suicide has been seen all over the world — causing the Polk County Police Department to be inundated with calls to take it down, including from concerned viewers across the pond.

But Chief Kenny Dodd said he has no jurisdiction over social media besides to reach out to Facebook and ask for it to be removed.

“We want it down as much as anyone for the family and it may be harmful to other kids,”he told Fox 5 Atlanta. “We contacted some of the sites. They asked if they had to take it down and by law, they don’t.”

He added, “But it’s just the common, decent thing to do in my opinion.”

Just days before killing herself, Davis detailed the claims of abuse on her blog, saying that she was beaten with a studded belt and that a male relative “tried to rape” her, according to Coosa Valley News.

She also said she had been researching different ways to end her life.
