    "nobody cares that your family members have died of cancer so stop commenting your pathetic sob stories. i am ****ing glad they are dead hopefully you will get cancer too so i dont have to hear your winging"

    There is some ***** going round making posts saying the hope kids die of cancer because its funny. Report it to faceboom and it just gets deleted byt I personally think it needs more than that.

    Anybody who can say this (see above) to a lass whos mum died NEEDS prosecuting under the malicious communications act.

    The downside of the internet - a cowards paradise. They deserve to be prosecuted and given a good hiding.

    There's a facebook group called 'Cancer-is-funny-because-people-die'

    If you google search the words you say was posted, it was on there.

    Vile person who sets up this kind of thing - I'll report the group myself to FB, for all the good that will do.

    Doing a search on Twitter and that group keeps popping up and being shut down. There was a petition to close it down back in 2012.

    My advice - just ignore it. These people are nothing more than Internet trolls. The second you even respond, they've won. As upsetting as the words may be - they are just words.

    After first reporting the group to FB, they initially decided that the page was to stay. But just got 2nd message to say they've revised the decision and the complaint has been upheld and the group removed.

    It'll probably pop up again soon, so let's just hope karma catches up with these sick individuals.

    Give them a ring on 101 and tell them you are reporting a crime being committed.
