Police told Stella Creasy her harasser - who reported her to social services despite not knowing her - would not face criminal sanctions because he was 'entitled' to his view her children should be taken into care because of her 'extreme' views, the MP for Walthamstow told Sky News.
The troll was referred to the police, who told him to stop contacting her.
"We can all have robust conversations, debates, discussions, I can passionately disagree with people, but threatening to take away their children because you don't agree with somebody is not free speech, it's a form of harassment." She said she thought the police decision"gives a green light to those people who disagree with people in the public eye - not just politicians but journalists and campaigners - because this guy was targeting other people, other women as well that he disagreed with - to harass them through their families.
