An MP reported to social services as an unfit mother over her views is seeking to change the law, so no-one else has to go through such “distress”.
Stella Creasy said being a victim of an online troll’s “campaign of harassment” left her children with a social services record that cannot be removed.
The MP for Walthamstow in east London has tabled an amendment to the Victims and Prisoners Bill to remove “malicious” reports from people’s records.
Philip Stacey, 52, from Wigston, Leicestershire, told local police Ms Creasy’s children should be taken into care due to her “extreme views” and also contacted the Labour Party and the BBC.
“We know in a lot of cases, victims of stalking and harassment often are subject to malicious complaints and we also know there’s an increasing trend, particularly of women in the public eye, being reported to social services.”
Leicestershire Police said its first response to Ms Creasy was referred to its Professional Standards Department and “advice and reflective learning” was provided to officers.
