Mourning mothers are campaigning against an internet forum where users swap “sickening” jokes about dead babies.

Kayleigh Barr, 22, and Chantelle Kearsley, 25, lost their children within a week of each other three years ago.

And Chantelle, from Hove, said her pain came flashing back after she stumbled across a bad taste Facebook group called “dead baby jokes!!”

Hundreds of jokes, which The Argus has decided not to reproduce, have been posted on the open forum.

Despite making a number of protests, the women’s efforts to get the site censored have been rejected.

More than 2,000 people have now joined a Facebook group requesting the site is banned.

But the company said finding comments upsetting was “not alone a reason to remove the discussion”.
