"Katie Price has launched an online petition to make online abuse a specific criminal offence, which has already hit a major milestone.
The 38-year-old only launched the online campaign yesterday (March 29), but will now be considered for debate in the House Of Parliament after hitting over 100,000 signatures.
Taking to Instagram, Katie shared her joy at the petitions success with her 14-year-old disabled son Harvey.
The petition was created following cases where Harvey has been targeted by online trolls, which has led to a number of videos where she’s demanded apologies.
‘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.’
It seems it’s only going to get bigger too, with the petition closing in on 200,000 signatures at the time of writing."
