Debbie Duncan, 56, said she has been sent thousands of abusive messages and videos.
Jay Slater's heartbroken mother has revealed GoFundMe donations were spent on three key parts during the search for her son in Tenerife.
His body was flown back to the UK, and a funeral was held for the teen at Accrington Crematorium on August 10. However, ghouls added to Debbie's grief by sending abusive messages, some of which accusing her of misusing funds set up by Jay's friend Lucy Mae Law. But trolls did not stop there. Debbie was regularly hounded by mock-up pictures of Jay being tortured and of his "body" being buried on a beach. She told the outlet false theories spread online that the teen had somehow been involved with a drug cartel and was taken in a yacht to Morocco.
