Teen victim's mum 'shocked" at 'watered down' safety Bill

THE mother of murdered teenager Brianna Ghey said she is "frustrated" by the Government's Online Safety Bill, which may be "watered down" to appease US President Donald Trump.

Esther Ghey spoke to the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg programme about the bill and the death of her 16-year-old daughter, whose murder led to UK-wide protests and vigils.

"While we are... questioning whether it's strong enough or whether it should be watered down, young people are at harm, and young people are losing their lives," she told the BBC.

"Young people shouldn't be struggling with mental health because of what they are accessing online, and we really do need to take a hard stance on this."

Brianna, 16, was murdered by classmate Scarlett Jenkinson and her friend Eddie Ratcliffe.
