"In today’s society with all of the horrors going on around the world people are still fixated with mixed families! #weareallone #racism #trolls.”
She added: “Something needs to be done @Twitter it's no wonder the suicide rate is so high in the world with all of the online trolls. #trolls”
But Emma was also met with several messages of support from wellwishers including Women’s Aid Ireland who said: “Happy #Easter @enmmamurphy to you and your wonderful children. You are blessed to have them and they are so lucky to have a strong, brave and compassionate woman like you as their mother. X”
