Many people have been targeted and affected by the newspapers. In the case of Milly Dowler's phone -discovered in July 2011. She was thought be alive after the hacking, her phone was thought be in use by her and this made the police investigation continue. They thought she was alive, however she was not alive. The News of the world knew this and did not tell the police about it until they were confronted. They were then forced to shutdown, for the reason of phone hacking. My question is should there not be someone watching the newspapers. Someone who could take them to court, whenever it is necessary. Sometimes it is even articles about people's privacy that is presented in the papers, this surely cannot be tolerated. To show support for this petition sign below and share with friends and family. Thank you

What they did to that poor girl's family is unforgivable. There needs to be real consequences for these papers. They think they own everyone's lives.

ABOUT TIME. these people are ruthless and have way too much power. nobody should be allowed to mess with a police investigation just to sell a few more papers.
