The matter has been forwarded to Police Scotland.
Jay, who is now a 15-year-old pupil at St Ronan’s College in Lurgan, has been shielded from the abuse.
It is the latest in a series of hate-filled sectarian posts on various social media the Beatty family has had to deal with over the last 10 years.
It is understood the family suffer vile abuse daily.
