Is there some kind of legal STFU order?

[Anna Mae Bollocks]

Kind of like a cease and desist, but not about intellectual property?

What it is, is some friends have a psycho older half sister (same mom). Their dad (deceased) was a musician, pretty well-known. Never legally adopted the half sister but she uses his last name, swears she's his natural daughter and runs around the internet telling people all kinds of crazy lies, saying his real kids are strung out, gay (they're not), whatever else she can think of. She's mad at them because they don't want anything to do with her, but you can see why. She's done it at online article comments, blogs, youtube comments, facebook, she even went to the Find A Grave memorial page and did it.

Most of the time you can get people to remove this stuff, but it's a time consuming pain in the ass. And even when you can't, birth records are public, just link to it, but this crap is everywhere and you never know where it's going to pop up next.

And there's another one, one of their dad's old groupies that tells everybody she was his wife and uses his name. That one's an online annoying piece of work too.

Anyway, nobody wants a court battle or any of that, just wondering if there's some kind of letter to make them shut their cake hole.

Thanks in advance.

Slander? Is the only thing that comes to mind to me.

Well yeah, but they don't want to go through a whole lawsuit. I'm trying to find out if there's some kind of pre-suit letter.

Like you send to people who plagiarize your blog to make them take the shit down and knock it off, only the situation is different.

Yes, it's called a cease-and-desist letter.
