Parents of Jade Kops threatened: 'We are constantly scanning when we stand at the grave'

The parents of the late social media figure Jade Kops are facing persistent stalking and threats targeting them and their other children. These individuals have threatened to approach the family at Kops's grave, leading the police to intervene with warnings to the suspects.

The parents of the late Jade Kops, a social media personality and author who passed away from cancer in April 2024 at age nineteen, are reporting severe harassment and stalking. Her father, René Kops, stated in an interview that the family has received direct threats regarding the location of their daughter's grave, causing them to fear for their safety whenever they visit her resting place. These threats have escalated to the point where even Kops's siblings are being targeted, with one sibling now too afraid to visit the grave at all.

According to the parents, these incidents involve individuals they do not know who refuse to respect their boundaries during their mourning process. The harassment has become so persistent that the family is constantly scanning their surroundings for danger. Local law enforcement is actively involved, having visited the family home to provide guidance and conduct warning conversations with the individuals responsible for the threats. The family continues to struggle as they seek to process their loss amidst this ongoing intimidation.
