It is time to return to this unpleasant task.

Laws have change. In the UK, the legal precedent that a blogger has no right to privacy in the public domain, was set in a case involving a blogging detective.

In February 2007. I was contacted by telephone and informed of the intention to sue for my publication of 'my client, Anthony van der Craats' private information'.

The caller gave her name as Prudence Blackwood, the same name used some months earlier to contact the website http://en.for-ua.com/about/ demanding removal of the thread entitled "Death Camps for Children".

The article written by my colleague Terry Hallman, related the story of an American NGOs visit to an internat, where children considered unable to feed themselves are deposited at age 4.

Soon after, the professional status of Prudence Blackwood and her relationship between her and her client Anthony van der Craats was revealed. A hasty attempt was made to conceal this evidence.
