YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe families of missing people are backing calls from the mother of Jay Slater to introduce a law to stop so-called "tragedy trolling" and the spread of misinformation online.
Jay, 19, went missing in Tenerife in June 2024. His body was found in a ravine a month later.
While Jay's mother Debbie Duncan struggled to cope with the initial trauma of not knowing what had happened to her son, she says her ordeal was made worse by amateur online sleuths and the digital trolling the family received.
Ms Duncan is now campaigning for Jay's Law to tackle the online trolls.
She told Sky's Tom Parmenter she wants her family to be the last to have to go through the torture she still faces 18 months after her son's death.
