Bereaved mother calls for change in anonymity law

A bereaved mother has spoken to BBC Scotland, describing her family's loss of privacy after her child died.

More than 60 bereaved families have signed an open letter calling for a change in the law to protect child victims of murder.

The letter, issued by Victim Support Scotland (VSS), calls on First Minister Humza Yousaf and Justice Secretary Angela Constance to grant automatic anonymity to child victims of murder.

The letter also calls for the removal of content that can identify children who have died as a result of crime, with families given the right to waive anonymity later if they choose.

The Scottish government said it would consider the matter further.
