Maesteg toddler suffers 'pathetic trolling' over condition

The mother of a toddler born with a rare facial condition has spoken of the "awful" bullying he has suffered.

Ollie was born at Cardiff's University Hospital of Wales in February 2014 with encephalocele, a condition which caused a golf-ball sized mass to develop on his nose.

His mother, Amy Poole, 22, of Maesteg, Bridgend county, said the 21-month-old has endured some "pathetic" online abuse.

She told the BBC Wales' Jennifer Jones she would not change Ollie.
