Last week, Abbie told the Courier-Mail she had a secret Google Drive, which held hundreds of saved messages from her trolls. 

Abbie explained she keeps the appalling messages so she can publicly name and shame the bullies. 

‘I save these messages, I have a whole Google Drive… I was suicidal because of all of these messages, it wasn’t just one or two, it was like hundreds and hundreds of them,’ she said.
