Make online abuse of disabled people a specific criminal offence

Petition Details

The Government should create new laws to better protect people with mental health issues / disabilities from being bullied / harassed online. This should include making online abuse of disabled people a specific criminal offence.

Additional Information

I have autism and BPD, and have been badly bullied throughout my life both in school / workplaces / online environment. I have put up with it until now and will make a stand against it. I want the backing of the Government to help make a new law to protect disabled people from the effects of bullying.
