A 14-year-old girl who livestreamed her suicide on Facebook after failing to win the affections of her allegedly abusive mother was prescribed an anti-depressant that heightens the risk of suicide, according to the Miami Herald.

Two years prior to her death this past January, Naika Venant was determined by doctors to be suffering from depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.

She was then prescribed a medication for ADHD and Zoloft, an anti-depressant that cannot legally be prescribed to children due to an increased risk of suicide.

Zoloft is among a group of anti-depressants that the federal government requires be labelled with a 'black box' warning – the most severe warning label because of the dangerous side effects for children.

A 20-page report released by the Florida Department of Children & Families found that Naika suffered years of sexual abuse, was beaten and rejected by her mother, Gina Alexis (right with Naika in this undated photo) and bounced between more than 14 foster homes

In the 18 months prior to her death, Naika was prescribed a medication for ADHD and Zoloft (above), an anti-depressant that cannot legally be prescribed to children due to an increased risk of suicide

Only children who are diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorders can legally be prescribed Zoloft, according to the Herald.

State officials told the Herald that Naika's constant relocation to different foster homes placed her in situations where adult guardians were unable to consistently monitor her for any danger signs while she was on psychiatric medication.

Naika's case echoes that of Gabriel Myers, a seven-year-old boy who also hung himself in 2009 after he was placed into the foster system and had also been prescribed psychiatric medication.

A spokesperson for Pfizer, the pharmaceutical giant that markets Zoloft, told the Herald that the black box warning includes a note to caregivers to monitor patients for suicidal thoughts or unusual changes in behavior.

On January 22, Naika hanged herself in the shower at her foster home in Miami while her foster parents were asleep - live streaming the whole incident on Facebook.

Naika was living with a foster family at the time of her death and was found hanged from the door frame in the bathroom by Miami-Dade police.

In the weeks following her death, more information came to light about Naika's difficult childhood.

Naika's relationship with her mother, Gina Alexis (above), played a significant role in her death, according to a 20-page report issued by Florida authorities after the suicide

A 20-page report released by the Florida Department of Children & Families found that Naika suffered years of sexual abuse, was beaten and rejected by her mother and bounced between more than 14 foster homes.

The report released late Monday concluded that while state welfare authorities could have done a better job, Naika's relationship with her mother Gina Alexis played a significant role in her death.

'Despite everything that had occurred between Naika and her mother, Naika longed to be home,' said the report, written by members of a Critical Incident Rapid Response Team that was deployed by agency Secretary Mike Carroll after the child's death in January.

'Naika often told her therapist that she greatly missed her mother and really wanted to go back home.'

The report said Alexis criticized her daughter as she watched the two-hour long Facebook Live video, calling her a 'custody jit' and and that she was a 'crying wolf...seeking attention'.

One of the messages left said: '#ADHD games played u sad little DCF custody jit that's why u where u at for this dumb s--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.'

But Alexis' lawyer has denied the state's contention that his client was abusive toward her daughter, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

The lawyer also denies that she was online and watched as her daughter threatened to kill herself.

The report detailed the alleged abuse.

When Naika was 4, the agency was called to her mother's home after the girl was left unattended by a male babysitter, with no food or running water.

Alexis enrolled the girl in day care and moved to another home.

The next year, the report said, Naika went to the emergency room with an undisclosed chronic health condition.

The child welfare agency was contacted when Alexis 'called Naika a liar and a faker.'

In 2009, the report says Alexis beat Naika with a belt after the girl was sexually aggressive with another child.

She was removed from her mother's home.

Caseworkers sought to learn where the 6-year-old girl had learned about sex.

She told therapists she slept in the room with her mother's boyfriends and watched 'sex movies.'

The next year, after she was returned to her mother, DCF received a report that the girl was sexually abused while in foster care.

The other child vehemently denied it, saying Naika was the aggressive one.

According to the report, Naika ran away in 2014, telling investigators she was afraid her mother would beat her.

Alexis refused to take Naika back, threatening to beat the then 11-year-old child if she was left there.

Two months later, a Miami judge - over the objection of caseworkers and a court-ordered lay guardian - returned Naika to her mother.

In April 2016, Alexis returned Naika to the state, saying she'd had it with her 'behavior.'

Last November professionals recommended that Naika live in a 'specialized therapeutic foster home.' But no bed was available.

In the report, the DCF team faulted the mental health professionals who worked with Naika for treating the symptoms of her trauma and abuse 'rather than addressing the trauma itself' and for failing to address the toxicity of the girl's relationship with her mother.
