John, Susan, Samantha and Joe Lowry

On 26 October 2007, the World Have Your Say blog hosted a post from an anonymous user on a thread entitled ‘Congo and Kids’.

The post contained a number of wholly false allegations about members of the Lowry family of Swindon who run the Hillsborough Day Nursery.

The BBC is happy to make clear that there is no foundation in any of these allegations and wishes to apologise to the Lowry family for the distress caused.
