A GRANNY who allegedly harassed her daughter and wished her grandkids dead has been banned from posting the abusive content online.
The Dublin woman was hit with a three-year restraining order.
The young mother, who cannot be named for legal reasons, resorted to using anti-stalking laws and applied for the order at Dublin District Court.
Her estranged mum did not attend the scheduled hearing to contest the claims against her.
The daughter told Judge Anthony Halpin: “My mother is harassing me,” adding that she had been subjected to online abuse by her, saying “she hopes my kids die”.
Asked why the abuse is happened, the woman, in her 20s, said she was taken into care when she was young and there had been a fractured relationship since.
She told the court that the posts started nine weeks ago after five years of no contact.
The woman said she believed her mother was “retaliating for having no contact with or access to her grandchildren”.
On reviewing printouts of the posts, Judge Halpin stated he was satisfied the woman had made a reasonable case.
He issued a civil restraining order barring unwanted contact and posts about the applicant.
