Vile trolls call mum’s disabled three-year-old daughter ‘ugly as f***’ and threaten to sell photos of her to a porn website
A HORRIFIED mum has told how vile trolls threatened to sell photos of her disabled three-year-old daughter to a PORN website.
Leia Turner, 29, from Woking, Surrey, received the shocking tirade of abuse on a local Facebook group.
The full-time mum was told by trolls they’d sold a picture of her daughter Lexi to “the deep web”, where people would pay “premium bucks for special kids”.
What’s more, they went on to say Leia shouldn’t worry as nobody would want to sleep with her little girl – who has spina bifida – because she was “ugly as f***” and rated her a two out of ten.
Leia said: “When I read the comments, I was in hysterics thinking about my daughter’s face on those horrible websites.
“It’s one thing to send this kind of abuse to an adult but I can’t believe anyone could be so callous as to say these things about a three-year-old child.
“To me, Lexi is perfect and I wouldn’t change her for the world.”
Leia and her husband Anthony have seven children – Alfie, 13, who has autism, Romeany, nine, Billy, eight, Tommy, seven, Lacy, six, Lexi and Jimmy, two.
In 2013 when Lexi was born, the parents discovered she has spina bifida – a condition where the spine and nervous system don’t develop properly in the womb.
This means Lexi is paralysed from the waist down and has extra fluid in her brain, making her forehead look bigger than other toddlers’.
Leia explained: “Although Lexi has a lot of problems, she’s determined not to let anything get in her way.
“She’s always smiling and we hope that she’ll be able to start school when she reaches the right age.”
Like any proud mum, Leia shared photos of Lexi and her brothers and sisters on her Facebook page.
But when Leia commented on a post in a local buy and sell group on Facebook, sick trolls took advantage of the fact her profile was ‘public’ and targeted her.
They claimed there were people on the internet who would pay lots of money for children with special needs and threatened to sell Lexi’s photos to a porn website.
They also made fun of Lexi’s large forehead, joking she’d been wearing a headband which was too tight.
Leia admitted: “I felt sick to the stomach when I read their comments about Lexi.
“To me, my little girl is beautiful and I couldn’t believe the trolls were being so horrible.
“How could anyone say those things about such an adorable three-year-old girl?”
