Make sharing content of disabled children with the intent to humiliate illegal.

What the petition asks

The number of hate crime incidences against disabled people are increasing. This is fuelled by sharing disparaging social media content. Disabled children often don't have a voice to defend themselves so should have special protection against behaviour which feeds dangerous negative attitudes.
