The family and friends of a Sandy Hook victim say they 'will do whatever it takes to stop online trolling'.

Victoria Soto, 27, was killed as she tried to protect her class of first grade students from gunman Adam Lanza.

Since then her family has been targeted by trolls on social media.

Ryan Graney works with the Victoria Soto Memorial Foundation to remove abusive posts about Victoria.

She says: 'Some people say Vicki was not real, Sandy Hook did not happen and this is just the American government's way of trying to take away their guns'.

Now Victoria's family is trying to trademark her name in an effort to stop online abuse.

Ryan Graney has been speaking to 5 Live's Nomia Iqbal.
