  Today, I found a blog that is using a post of mine in it’s entirety along with a photo of my son, without my consent.

  After viewing more pages on their site it is clear that this is ALL that the “blogger” is doing – using content taken from other sites and then adding some spam links at the end of it.

  How can I get this taken care of?

  http://kivetasuralu.wordpress.com/ is the spam site

  this is the post they stole from me
  http://kivetasuralu.wordpress.com/2013/04/03/5-ways-to-prepare-your-toddler-to-be-an-older-sibling/
  and this is the post on my site (published the day before)
  http://www.beautythroughimperfection.com/2013/04/02/5-ways-to-prepare-your-toddler-to-be-an-older-sibling/

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
