The 38-year-old model-and-businesswoman started a petition to make cyberbullying a criminal offence in response to the mean online taunts that are continuously aimed at her 14-year-old son Harvey, who is autistic, has ADHD and partial blindness and suffers from Prader-Willi syndrome which causes a variety of medical problems, reported Contactmusic.
Katie's ultimate goal is to make cyberbullying a specific criminal offence which if you are found guilty of will have a lasting effect on your life.
Discussing her mission on 'Loose Women', the mother-of- five says, "I cannot believe there isn't a law on this. I have five children but it is only Harvey. Nothing is said about my other children. I think we should have a register as a deterrent but there needs to be structure.
"Something needs to be put in place. We want a register like the sex offenders list.
