The mother of Archie Battersbee has hit back at trolls after being accused of having a birthday 'party' at his graveside. She said she has received a barrage of online abuse since since May, weeks before 12-year-old Archie’s life support was withdrawn on August 6.
Hollie Dance said she has been subjected to “very severe trolling”, including death threats, and said that a noose was left on her son’s grave. Archie's life support was withdrawn after his parents failed in bids to overturn a High Court ruling that doctors could lawfully do so.
Speaking to the PA news agency, Ms Dance said the trolling was “absolutely awful”. She said: "It’s been like it from mid-May. The police have been investigating since mid-May so we’re hoping a case is building now.
