The mother of a teenager who died by suicide has claimed before the High Court she has been the target of an online campaign of intimidation and harassment after she commenced a legal action against anti-vax campaigner Gemma O'Doherty.

The claim has been made by Edel Campbell, who claims she has "borne the burden of Ms O'Doherty's vitriol" while she and her family have been trying to grieve for her late son.
