Well you amazing lovely people... Ann Coffey was brilliant in Parliament this Tuesday. She took TWO campaigns forward, one from each side of this behaviour; the person having their photos used by and the victims of 'Catfishing'.
Without doubt, Ann discussing my story and my petition and the thousands of you that have supported me so far had a HUGE impact on the Governments decision to start looking more closely at the current legislation.
As victims, I've been told that I will have the opportunity to speak out about my hopes and views on this.
The war is not won but this is an amazing start and it's all because of you wonderful people. We still need to keep the numbers rolling in because at the end of the day, politicians like numbers and it's this that will put the most pressure on them to listen.
I can't thank you all enough again and remember that working together makes things happen.
Anna xx
