THE mother of Brianna Ghey has made an impassioned plea for tougher measures against knife crime.
Brianna, a 16-year-old transgender girl, was stabbed to death in Linear Park, Warrington, in February last year.
On Friday, Ms Ghey stood alongside two other mothers who have also suffered the loss of their children to knife violence, saying they felt 'let down' by the Government's failure to act on the issue.
Brianna's mother has individually been campaigning for tighter regulation on mobile phones.
She joined with Kelly Brown and Leeann White in a bid to amplify their collective call for change.
Ms Ghey told ITV news she hoped uniting with the two mothers, who have been campaigning for changes to sentencing and the introduction of lifesaving bleed kits would make their message "stronger".
She said: "Something needs to be done. It needs to change urgently.
"I feel it's our job as well... even though we've gone through something so tragic, we do need to do this, we do need to push this.
