Investigation launched to track down cruel web bullies.
Police are hunting sick internet trolls who targeted the family of tragic Preston Flores with images of the boy on fire.
The Aberdeen seven-year-old died in April after being engulfed in flames.
An investigation has now been launched after cruel web bullies taunted his family with shock online footage of him engulfed in flames.
Incredibly one mobile phone video clip posted so Preston’s distraught mum could see it was set to the pop track Girl on Fire by Alicia Keys.
Last night mum Luisza Flores, 33, who lives with the memory of rushing to her son’s aid and pulling burning clothes from his body, said: “We are at breaking point. My son has been taken from me. My family is being given no peace to grieve for Preston or to come to terms with the way that we lost him. The memories of that day go round and round in our heads and haunt us all the time.”
Devastated Luisza who with Preston’s father Keith Will, 33, exclusively revealed in The Sunday Post that they are demanding a Fatal Accident Inquiry into the tragedy said they have had to erect a security camera at their Aberdeen home.
She claimed: “People come and yell abuse outside our windows and we’ve had our car windows smashed too.”
Luisza who is also mum to Dylan, 17, Leroy, 15, Shanelle, 11, and Leighton, one has claimed that a police investigation into her son’s death, which found no criminality had occurred, failed to provide the family with answers.
They want to know how Preston, who with other children had been playing with petrol on the city’s Bedford Avenue, came to be covered in the flammable liquid and how it was ignited.
A report into the tragedy is now with the Procurator Fiscal. Health and Safety officials also launched an investigation into the incident.
Police Scotland confirmed they are investigating after receiving complaints about alleged internet abuse.
