Wayne gave good advice. What he's suggesting is to give the girl an outlet if she's telling the truth. By providing that information to her you've done your job as an admin.
As towermatt said it is a tough question because it seems that you're unsure if the girl is telling the truth. Based on the information you've given it is general, nothing specific. Was it just one post or a series of posts with detail of abuse? In your post you mentioned suicide but did the girl ever say or hint that she was thinking about it? If yes, did she have a plan of action or was it just talk? Did she post anything else before revealing being abused (meaning did her mood change)?
In my line of work I am required to notify the authorities if I suspect abuse. I have in the past. Fortunately all of the cases I made the report were found to be true. I always cringe at the idea of releasing personal information because of confidentiality and the thought "what if" I am wrong. It is why I will always side on caution in these cases.
