Autism Campaigner Kevin Healey Doesn’t Feel Safe On Twitter
Statement: I’m so sorry at this present time I feel I’m unable to use twitter in a safe environment I have been constantly trolled over the last week and have sent a few twitter abuse report forms to twitter and I personally feel the twitter abuse button is useless, ive reported several incidents and nothng has been done with the TROLLS twitter offered me extra level support but even failed at that, I have no protection for myself or people like myself who get daily abuse however my campaign will still be running via the official campaign twitter @autismcampaign media press enquires please contact @BoxedOutPR however I will come back on once twitter rectify the situation
#twitter #trolls #cyberbullying #victim #autism twitter abuse thank you to all my supporters im afraid i wont be replying to any messages any urgent messages please contact my Hayley Smith @BoxedOutPR via twitter
I’ve never been trolled in my life so i can’t comment. Their are always fools around and that will always be the case and complaining to whenever will get you nowhere
personally i would just delete any comments that are not on topic if you are able to do so ?

You are able to delete offensive Tweets Nick but if you are getting several an hour as Caroline Criado Perez and others have been recently then that doesn’t really work.
Trolling on Twitter and other similar sites is a big issue at the moment.
I think it’s a real shame that Kevin Healey feels this way as Twitter is a great source of support and a place to socialise for disabled people, many who can’t leave their houses.
