The method of how cover news in which at the center are minors and rape is the crime, has always been controversial within the journalism community. Although ethical policies are in place, local news agencies across the country still report these stories using their own policies as well. Some newspapers will not say publish the name of the child unless it is in the crime report and thus public record. Other papers will not publish the name without the consent of the victim and their family.
in my opinion, the dilemma is not whether to name them or not, but how to treat them in the news media.
