There actually are very few legal restrictions on naming minors. There is substantially more scrutiny applied to false reporting when it involves accusing a minor of a crime. Most of the time when publications refuse to name a minor it’s because they promised not to while obtaining the minor’s name.


There are lots of restrictions on identifying minors charged with crimes, but they apply to court documents, not to the media.
