Grieving Cheltenham parents urgently need another 15,000 signatures on an online petition by tomorrow (May 29).

Julian 'Jools' Sweeney from Cheltenham, passed away suddenly in 2022, at the age of 14. His parents, Ellen Roome and Matthew Sweeney, don't know why he died, but they fear social media played a part.

Ellen is trying to obtain his social media data to try to establish why his life ended so young, but she has been refused without a court order.

She has started a petition to change the laws to allow parents access to children's social media. She has until midnight tomorrow (Wednesday) to reach 100,000 signatures to have #JoolsLaw debated in Parliament.

The petition was initially expected to run until November, but due to the general election, all petitions must now end before May 30.

It got 20,000 signatures yesterday, but still needs another 15,000 by the end of the day tomorrow to reach the target.

Ellen said: "As a parent, we should have the right to view his social media. We don't. We think this is wrong.

"We should be able to see what he was watching and what/ who could have put ideas into his head to end his life. All parents should have this right, whether their children are alive or dead.

"Please sign this petition to change the law to protect all living children and, in my case, to help me find answers as to why my precious child is dead."

An inquest in 2022 found that Jools, who was in year 10 at Balcarras School, probably didn't intend to take his own life.
