A privacy breach by Child Youth and Family has resulted in the department taking legal action, claiming a woman was trying to blackmail them after it accidentally sent her somebody elses private information. In a statement, CYF head Bernadine Mackenzie said the department had mistakenly sent a Family Court document to another person, who was refusing to return or destroy it. She is demanding that we return one of her children to her care in exchange for the document, Ms Mackenzie alleged. (English)
