British MP Stella Creasy says police ‘green lighting’ trolls to target politicians’ children

A man contacted the authorities arguing that the MP’s “extreme views” would damage her children and they should be removed from her care. Creasy has been a prominent campaigner on misogyny and violence against women. The man’s complaint was quickly dismissed, but the police decided that this man, who had no personal connection to the PM or her two children, “was entitled – that was the word they used – to raise concerns about my views”, Creasy says. As a result, her kids now have a social services record because of this man’s belief.
