JAMES Bulger's mum has won a landmark victory by persuading Google to tighten its rules on images of dead children.
Denise Fergus called for action after TikTok allowed users to post sick Al-generated content of her murdered two-year-old son James.
The videos were also accessible on Google, which is the world's biggest internet search engine.

Denise, 54, said: "I am so relieved about the implementation of new rules on AIgenerated content featuring deceased minors.
"Last year, I was horrified to discover individuals were creating and posting Al-generated videos of my beloved James.
