"A reporter was on our private property very soon after the accident and whilst Molly was still on the ground. He walked up to the house down to the stables anywhere looking for a story. I went outside at some point to go to her horse for some comfort when the channel 7 helicopter flew above me trying to get footage. My husband was overseas at the time of the accident but footage of myself sitting with my deceased daughter was put on the channel 7 website for the world to see see before I had even told all my family.

"Channel 7 you are a disgrace and what should have been a private moment between a mother and her daughter was exploited for the sake of an exclusive story. You bastards."

Ms Goldspink-Lord posted on Saturday after being unable to find her post on the Seven Facebook page: "What happened to My post ? Didn't you Like what I had to say about your gutter reporting tactics."

Channel Seven's Director of News, Chris Willis, said in a statement that Ms Goldspink-Lord's comments "were removed from our site in error. We apologise for that."

"Taking into account her understandable distress over the coverage of Molly's death, I did ask for the footage to be taken down. That happened but unfortunately her remarks were deleted as well. They are now being restored to our Facebook page. I would also like to stress that we have re-examined our reports into Molly's tragic death and can find no video showing Mrs Goldspink-Lord hugging her daughter," the statement said.
