Myra Hindley used to defend "stillborn baby" sicko Jeremy Young

An image of Myra Hindley has been used to defend Jeremy Young, who was recently investigated by Bradford police and "other agencies" over numerous sexual remarks he made about his stillborn baby.

His supporters superimposed an image of award winning blogger Mike Hitchen, known for raising awareness of child welfare issues, on to a photograph of Myra Hindley - the notorious child sex killer.

Young's supporters who include author Jill Havern, herself the subject of a complaint with West Midlands Police and the Driving Standards Agency (due to unethical conduct) have also targeted two other high profile child welfare campaigners - both known to UK media.

Their methods which are becoming increasingly organised and sophisticated, have included the use of "spoof" blogs containing sexual references and images; self-confessed hoax calls to New South Wales police, the hacking of forums and abusive spam.
