Katie Price’s petition for the Government to tackle online bullying following her son Harvey’s abuse to be discussed in the House of Commons in landmark moment for her campaign
It has got more than 200,000 signatures and she made the announcement on Loose Women today
KATIE Price’s petition for the Government to tackle online bullying will be discussed in the House of Commons in a landmark moment in her campaign.
She made the announcement on Loose Women today.
It follows her and her son Harvey receiving a torrent of abuse on social media over his disability.
Katie said: “We are now going to the Parliament select committee to discuss it.
“The good thing is they want to interview Harvey which is good so they can see how vulnerable he is.
“I’m on fire.”
She also tweeted: “Pricey is off to Parliament. Woooooo.”
And she also put on Instagram: “Yes that’s right!! I am off to Parliament to make a difference to something I feel so passionately about ❤️❤️❤️ ”
She has previously publicly slammed and shamed people who have mocked him.
They include Mark Williams who was sacked from his job after cruel abuse exposed by the Sun.
He also called him a “poor c***” with a string of derogatory comments about his background.
Mum of five Katie branded it a disgusting “joke” about the teenager’s disability.
And it even emerged cricketer Ben Stokes had mocked Harvey in a video.
Her , which has reached more than 200,000 signatures, is titled ‘Make online abuse a specific criminal offence and create a register of offenders’.
It says: “Trolling is a major problem in this day and age. People of all ages and background suffer every day, including my family – especially my son Harvey. I have tried my best to expose people and even had two arrested but nothing was done and there were no repercussions or penalties for this behaviour.
“This does not affect just high profile people it affects everyone from every walk of life from young children, teenagers, people at work, husbands and wives.
This abuse includes racism, homophobia, body shaming and a whole range of other hate speech.
“This petition is an important topical issue and I want it to help bring justice to everyone who has ever suffered at the hands of trolls. Help me to hammer home worldwide that bullying is unacceptable whether it’s face to face or in an online space.”
The Government petition page says it considers all petitions that get more than 100,000 signatures for a debate.
