(CNN) - A Florida school shooting survivor is calling for first lady Melania Trump to combat cyber-bullying within her own family.

Fourteen-year-old Lauren Hogg posted the following on Twitter:

Hogg is referring to a false conspiracy theory that her older brother, David Hogg, had been coached by his father to speak out against President Trump.

The younger Trump liked a tweet promoting such a theory.

Hogg's mother has said her family has received death threats due to such conspiracy theories.

Melania Trump has not commented on Lauren Hogg's tweet. She has said she wants to use her platform as first lady to tackle issues facing children, including bullying.
