Internet trolls' abuse targets grieving mum [Western Daily Press (UK)]


(Western Daily Press (UK) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) A grieving mum who described the agony of turning off her dying baby's life support in a moving Facebook post was met with vile abuse and branded a baby killer. Shanna Hodge, 24, was distraught when her son Harvey-Lee was born 16 weeks premature with severe brain damage. The baby clung on to life for 14 days until doctors asked Shanna for permission to turn off his ventilator. The online abuse was so bad she said she even tried to take her own life.
