A 17-year-old boy who was found guilty of the murder of a teaching assistant can be named as Rocky Marciano Price after reporting restrictions were lifted at Preston crown court.>
The reporting restrictions were lifted because this was a heinous crime and the local community applied pressure for the release of a name, full article here.
This is troubling.
A child criminal is still a child criminal despite the nature or severity of the crime.
How far do we slide?
The Jamie Bulger murderers were known for a long time by their victim.
I don’t think we should be naming and shaming 10 or even 17 year olds.>
A criminal record is wiped clean when children come of age.
Why should a disturbed young boy be denied this privilege?
