A mom from Florida says her daughter, 15, took her own life this past week after a nude video of her child surfaced on Snapchat.
The video was posted to the social media site hours before her death.
“I couldn’t get in the bathroom,” said Levon Holton-Teamer told WFLA-TV.
“The bathroom light was off so I tried to get in and I looked down and I saw the puddle of blood. I tried to apply the pressure, the pressure to her head. I tried to save her.”
