A mum who turned anti-knife campaigner after her teenage son was murdered has said she is distraught after her Facebook account was blocked. Alison Cope says the move by the social media giant means thousands of young people who had turned to her were no longer able to contact her.
But the loss of the account is not just affecting those she is trying to help. The mum told how it had irreplaceable messages following the death of her son, Joshua Ribera, known as the rapper Depzman, as well as others from her parents who have also died, reports Birmingham Live.
She said Facebook had locked her account just before Christmas last year saying there had been unusual activity on it. She says she knows nothing about this and said she had spent the past months trying to resolve the situation but without success.
