Anyone who wants to find out someone's identity can easily do it these days though. Covering up identities in this case hasn't been helpful with at all. The law needs to move with the times and accept that people can find things out without names even being published.
Yup, and we all know her name. Everyone who has any interest in the case knows her name. And it's not because of the MSM.
I'm not saying there needs to be some kind of blanket publicity of foster kids but in *this case* finding William should have been the priority over protecting the identity of a kid that everyone with even a small interest in the case could have found anyway (without reading a single MSM article). The law needs to move with the times.
eta I feel the same about the journos being prosecuted for naming Pell before they should have. We all just went and read US or UK sites to find out who it was. It was on the Internet within moments of the first verdict. The law just refuses to accept the reality of the Internet - you can't hide anything.
