Power of text

I received a text message yesterday supposedly naming the people involved in the atrocious 'Baby P' case.

Now the names of these people (I find it hard to call them that) have been ordered by a court to remain undisclosed .

Being a journalist I understand and respect court orders and understand the consequences of breaching these orders. Not nice I can assure you.

However I am as disgusted as everyone else about the awful suffering this poor child went through.

But how do you stop this kind of thing spreading via text? Apparently this text has been sent across the country - sparking fears of vigilante-type action against the people named.

But what if the names and address mentioned is wrong?

How can this sort of thing be controlled?

It scares me how something like this can be spread so quickly and with relatively little effort.

I just hope the course of justice is allowed to run with the correct verdict being reached, and nobody tries to take matters into their own hands based on this shaky text 'evidence'.
