Desperate mum Ellen Roome pleads to social media companies ‘I want to know why my precious baby is no longer here’ amid fight for access to his social media data, following her son's tragic death.
Cheltenham mum Ellen Roome tragically found her 14-year-old son, Jools Sweeney, unconscious at home in April 2022. She believes Jools could have fallen victim to an online challenge that went wrong, but can't prove this without appropriate data access. The mum has been unable to gain the information she needs without a court order, and campaigns for a change in the law to allow all parents access to their children's social media data.
