Teenager arrested after mocking Katie Price's son Harvey on Twitter

[Denver]

A teenager has been arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated abuse towards Katie Price's disabled son Harvey on Twitter.

MailOnline reports that the 19-year-old was held by officers after allegedly targeting Harvey, who is partially blind, autistic and has Prader-Willi syndrome, online.

"A 19-year-old man from Newick, Sussex, has been arrested on suspicion of racially or religiously aggravated harassment, alarm or distress by words or writing, by police investigating offensive social media posts targeting Katie Price's son," explained a Sussex Police spokesman.

The teenager has since been bailed to return on February 25 after he was questioned.

It comes shortly after a 30-year-old man apologised to Katie over abusive tweets sent to her about Harvey.

She had enlisted her other son Junior - who made touching speeches about his brother on Katie's Instagram - in an attempt to get the troll to come forward.

Mark Williams's messages included one that said he hoped Harvey would choke on sweets. He later deleted his account and apologised for his "immature and thoughtless comments".

Earlier this month, Katie claimed on Loose Women that the NHS was responsible for Harvey's brain damage..

Good. It's just a shame that other people will still get away with making such horrible comments.

I'm going to be unpopular here but while I do agree with her finding the culprits it's it pretty alarming to me she wants them shamed for it - her followers were calling the 30 year old some horrific names after he was found, mostly about him being ginger and it baffles me how shaming somebody for their natural hair colour is fine?

Also in reguards to her blaming the NHS for Harvey being disability...i'll just say she had the option to go private if she felt the care was not appropriate.

The 19 year old's picture has been plastered online - while I agree he deserves punishment he's 19 and he's made a mistake does he deserve to be villified by the press? No imo.

People make mistakes when they're young. I know I certainly have.

I certainly know you have also.

I never accused you of that.

You have however accused a woman of marrying somebody for a visa and hoped a woman goes to her death bed tonight alone.

19 isn't young enough to excuse the bullying of a young child IMO.

That isn't an age appropriate mistake at all. That's sick.

I havent excused it at all, he deserves to be punished of course but I think there are better punishments than putting a picture out there so he gets abused too.

I am 100% against any form of bullying especially of a child.

What did he actually say?

I don't want to jump to any conclusions without knowing the facts for myself.

I dont think anyone said a disabled child should choke to death

Wishing death on anyone is pretty bad. I've probably done it in jest or frustration as have a lot of people.

Doing it to an adult is bad taste but when you say it about a child it takes it to a whole new level
