  [The WordPress site I am writing about is not the shown, but another, but there is no way I can contact Support legitimately. I have full permission from the family concerned to contact Support regarding this family’s problem with the offending site.]
  A family has written to me as they are having difficulty getting a site removed concerning them. How do I contact “Support” to tell them about this problem? The offending site owner refuses to withdraw the site about this family, and has ignored all communications from the family, and the family have given me permission to contact support to forward their grievances as, being African, they are unfamiliar about who to contact, and are finding it impossible to contact WordPress support, as I am.
  Thank you.

  Read the links and follow the instructions – the forms go straight to the Terms of Service Group – but also make sure the site is really hosted on WordPress.COM
