TYRONE Unsworth was bullied so horribly because of his sexuality he felt the only way to escape was to take his own life.

Tyrone was just 13 when he committed suicide, succumbing to years of relentless harassment and teasing from kids at school.

But even after his devastating death, Tyrone’s vile bullies continue to mock him and his family, reports Kidspot.

Instead of being left alone to grieve the loss of her young son, Tyrone’s mother has become a target of online abuse.

Amanda Unsworth, has becomes the focus of disgusting trolls on social media with fake profiles set up in Tyrone’s name.

In a heartbreaking Facebook post on November 24 — just three days after her son’s death — Amanda called on the online trolls to stop using her son’s images and name to troll others.

Wednesday, just a day before his funeral, she was still asking her friends and family online to report as many as five sick fake profiles.

“Ok this sh*t has to stop,” she wrote in a post.

“Whoever is making up social media accounts in our son Tyrone’s name and posting bullsh*t, I’m going to the police and I will have you charged.

“You have no bloody right doing this, our son is dead and you still want to bully him, grow up you pathetic little bastards.”

At least two fake profiles were set up with the young boy’s face and first name, with a misspelled surname.

When a mother confronted the troll and messaged them over Facebook, the troll said their “issue” with Tyrone was “he is a fag”.

The troll claimed they are “tough” and alarmingly sent the mother a picture of what appeared to be a handgun. Asked what his parents thought of his behaviour, the troll said his parents were “laughing with him”.

When Amanda’s mother wrote to the troll online that they should look at her son’s dead body to realise the impact of their nasty words and behaviour the troll replied, “I’ve already seen dead bodies before I don’t care”.

Underneath a photo Amanda posted of her and her son — which had a number of condolence messages, a troll posted a line of laughing emojis, which has since been deleted.

Other mothers came to Amanda’s defence, writing. “You think you’re funny grow up with some dignity and respect”.

After a social media campaign by Amanda and her family and friends, it seems most of the thoughtless accounts have been shut down.

But on Wednesday Amanda said she kept seeing more pop up with up to five now being reported for targeting her and fellow mourners online.

One of her friends wrote: “It is beyond belief the torture that your family has had to endure at the hands of these low-lifes”.

Amanda told The Courier Mail after her son’s death that he was picked on for the last few years.

“He was a really feminine male, he loved fashion, he loved make-up and the boys always picked on him, calling him gay-boy, faggot, fairy; it was a constant thing from Year 5,” she said.

His mother said Tyrone was a happy, cheeky boy on the outside — with ambitions of being a vet or fashion designer — but suffered so much that he said he never wanted to go back to school.

“Obviously they ended up getting him,” she said, “they pushed him to the edge.”

Tyrone was hospitalised a month ago after a violent incident, allegedly involving another school student, which occurred outside of the school grounds.

Queensland Police has confirmed there is an ongoing investigation into the alleged assault.

Jacquita Miller, principal at Aspley State High School said no allegation of bullying against Tyrone was made to the school.

A petition started to implement the Safe Schools program at Aspley State High School has reached 25,000 signatories in just two days.
