Hello, we have been recently contacted by the Metropolitan Police Service, New Scotland Yard. They have not been able to contact you, and I cannot give out our clients personal information unless it is publicly available, so I told them I would forward their message on to you.

Dear Sirs
Re: Baby P: Breach of Court Order (Contempt of Court)
I write further to my letter dated 4th March 2009 (copy attached). As you are aware, I am currently advising the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis with regard to legal issues concerning various publications following the conclusion of the Baby P trial in the United Kingdom in November 2008, a high profile trial following the death of a child. The child's mother and two others were found guilty of causing/allowing the death of the child.
My letter formally put you on notice that a Court Order was in existence forbidding the publication of the names, addresses and any particulars calculated to lead to the identification of Baby P’s mother and her boyfriend, Baby P’s name or any image of his face that was used in the criminal trial.
The rationale for the Order was to protect the privacy of Baby P’s siblings and to ensure that any future court proceedings were not prejudiced. The Order was made by the Trial Judge, His Honour Judge Kramer QC on 14/11/08 pursuant to s.4(2) of the Contempt of Court Act 1981.
However, despite this warning, it has come to my attention that certain information in breach of the Order is readily ascertainable on:
Steven Barker, Jason Owen and Tracey Connolly | People You'll See In Hell
In particular, there are, to date, three postings of great concern. They are:
Charmian dated April 16 2009 12.27am
Laraine dated April 17 6.32am
TRC dated April 20 11.19am
In addition, there is a great deal of user generated content on this site which refers expressly to the names of each person covered by the Court Order, and photographs of them have been uploaded.
You should be aware that the Order binds the media and, as publication on the Internet in breach of this Order is, ipso facto, a contempt of court, it appears that the actions of "Charmian", “Laraine”, “TRC” and the Host Company amount to an offence. The issue of Internet dissemination of material in contempt of court is, of course, taken very seriously.
I therefore again ask that you take immediate and active steps to delete the three above-mentioned posts and to disable the posts containing the information covered by the Order.
In addition, as this breach of the Court Order is so serious, please identify the three people who made the above-mentioned postings and identify the person who created the site. Please also preserve the details of the blogs.
Finally, I would ask you to telephone me on + 44 20 7230 7183 to discuss this matter.
Yours faithfully
Sara Royan
for Director

I believe basically what they are trying to say, is that there is currently a trial going on about this in the UK, and if anyone on the jury saw the content on your site it could possible taint the jury. They are asking you to please take the content down.
