This is truly bizarre! An unwell woman is using pictures of my son (and the details of my son and daughter) on various parenting websites! See the picture of her on the right, and compare that to two of the original pictures I posted back in November 2006 when I announced Liam’s birth

This morning I received an email from the moderator of a website in Australia – the website has a forum for mothers to discuss birthing and parenting issues, and support one another. The moderator informed me that a woman from (who I believe is from England) had signed up to the forums announcing that she had given birth to a premature baby at 29 weeks…

She had posted numerous photos, various descriptions of her experience in giving birth to a premature son named ‘Kabe’, and had received a great deal of support and encouragement from members of the forum. However, the moderator of the forum noticed a few strange things in the posts and photographs and so decided to check it out…

When she investigated she discovered that this woman (see the picture above) was claiming to have had mine and Megan’s children (Liam and Courtney), and one other child! She photoshopped her face over Megan’s picture in the birth announcement!

Then, you’ll see in the picture below (click on it to enlarge it) that she simply lifted, and reposted, two pictures of Liam, renaming him ‘Kabe’ (you can see our original pictures of Liam here and here).

I am not posting the link to the forums on which she posted the information about Liam etc. – she has been banned from there and various other forums. However, if you want to see the site that she set up with the birth announcement you can click here DON’T type in your email address (just to be safe)! Simply use the password kabe to gain access.

What does one do? I am at a bit of a loss… It is scary to think that someone has targeted one’s children in this manner! Is there anyone out there who has any idea how we can trace who this is and put a stop to it? Off site email will be the best means to contact me (see the link on the right of this page).

Thanks for any help or advice!
