Katie Price has hit back at online trolls after MPs backed her pledge to make cyberbullying a criminal offence.
The former glamour model shared sweet snaps of herself cuddled up alongside 16-year-old son Harvey, insisting she will “make a difference”.
Thanking fans for their support, Price wrote: “The support has been unbelievable so far for #HarveysLaw this is for everyone out there who has ever been a victim of online bullying.
“We WILL make the difference. Thank you to all of the MPs and the select committee for backing this important campaign to me and my family- this is for you Harvey.”
A second post read: “Feeling the love and going to bed with a grateful heart for all the support we have received today for #HarveysLaw if only Harv knew.”
Price was flooded with support from fans who praised her on taking steps to rid the internet of hate.
One user wrote: “You’re an amazing mum.”
Another commented: “Well done Katie you should be so proud of yourself.”
A third added: “Such a gorgeous genuine photo here. Probably the best ever capture I’ve seen of you @officialkatieprice. Carry on the much needed work for this campaign its working. And changing views of disability associated bullying.”
Price’s snaps come after she won the support of MPs following a campaign against online trolls, after her disabled son was targeted with abuse.
The petition gained over 220,000 signatures and called on the government to create a register of offenders.
On Tuesday, MPs on the Petition Committee said they want to give disabled people protection under hate crime laws.
They said self-regulation of social media “has failed people” and internet giants should also “accept responsibility” for abuse.
The committee added: “We agree with Katie Price’s petition that the law on online abuse is not fit for purpose and it is truly shameful that disabled people have been forced off social media while their abusers face no consequences."
