Last May, Jerry spoke to Tralee native Liam Walsh about his campaign, along with other bereaved families, to get information from social media companies about harmful content which they believe may have contributed to their children's deaths.

Liam's 13-year-old daughter, Maia, was found dead in her home in Hertfordshire, England in October 2022.
