The mother of Jay Slater – whose disappearance in Tenerife sparked a massive manhunt – is behind a campaign to tackle online trolls that has been raised in the House of Commons.
The disappearance of 19-year-old Jay, from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, led to a host of conspiracy theories about his death after he vanished during a 14-hour walk home the morning after a night out on the Spanish island in June 2024.
His mum, Debbie Duncan, is campaigning with her local MP, Sarah Smith, for Jay’s Law to tackle online trolls after the family suffered online abuse.
The MP told the Commons: “There is evidence of the same content creators targeting multiple victims through tragedy trolling.”
