Katie Price has named and shamed trolls who shared a picture of her disabled son photoshopped onto an image of a jihadi bride.
Price shared a mocked up picture of Harvey as ISIS teenager Shamima Begum alongside the words, “let me back you c****,” in reference to the time Harvey swore on live TV.
Price called for the online abuse to be treated as a criminal offence, writing: “This is why I need to get online abuse a criminal offence these people should be named and shamed saying stuff about my son @mrharveyprice.”
The image was also posted on Harvey’s new Instagram page alongside the caption: “Why do this to me.”
Fans were left disgusted by the abusive post, with one describing it as “the saddest thing I have seen in a long time”.
They posted: “I’m so sorry any mother has to see that about their child, no one, public eye or not, deserves that.”
Another wrote: “My God I am appalled and disgusted words fail me beyond belief!! And makes me ashamed to be in the same human race as these people. And what’s worse is that you would probably walk passed these people in the street and not even give them a second look.”
A third commented: “Some people a so evil. And cruel leave Harvey alone x.”
Price was previously criticised for allowing her son to have an account on the photo sharing platform with many claiming it would leave him open to abusive comments.
But Price defended her decision, questioning why her son should be prevented from using the app like other teenagers his age.
“Able-bodied 16-year-old boys have Instagram so what is the exception for Harvey?” a representative for Price told Mail Online.
“His friends at school, his family and his brother [Junior] are all on Instagram and he wants his own account to post things he loves. Why should he be stopped?”
Price is championing Harvey’s Law, which she launched in response to the torrent of abusive messages targeted at her son.
More than 200,000 people signed a petition to make online trolling a criminal offence. It recently received backing from MPs, and Price is keen to take it worldwide.
The former glamour model recently revealed plans to put Harvey, who is blind, autistic and suffers from Prader–Willi syndrome, into residential care as he is becoming a danger to himself.
Price also has son Junior, 13, and Princess, 11, with ex-husband Peter Andre and Jett, five, and Bunny, four, with Kieran Hayler. She recently revealed plans to adopt a Nigerian orphan.
