"Baby P" killers' details leaked all over the internet

Although a court order prevents the identification of the people convicted of killing the child known as "Baby P", their details have appeared all over the internet. A few Google searches will show hundreds of websites with this information.

I won't post the details here, because Indymedia will likely take them down or face legal repercussions, but it has been widely reported that their details are an open secret.

Indeed, a few minutes searching will show the names, addresses and photos of the killers, which are on websites and social networking sites located all round the world.

Many of them are the predictable knee-jerk ranting of right-wingers, but it is interesting how the whole concept of privacy is being eroded - first for the people who we think "good, it doesn't matter" - but later on for all of us.

I would be interested what people think of this - are they scum who deserve to be outed, or does the whole erosion of privacy make you feel uneasy? Is the mother being demonised and punished for the actions of her partner?

The social workers also come in for a lot of stick. They will probably be damned if they do and damned if they don't - either snatching kids off their parents, or leaving them there to be killed.

It is interesting as well that one of the killers was known for torturing and abusing animals in the past. It just goes to show that you can never really trust an animal abuser - even if they do it legally, like bloodsports enthusiasts, vivisectors, slaughtermen, etc.
