I’m happy she was found alive and safe, but this is a 15 year old girl. Why was this national news, just because she’s very pretty? Was it the goal of the parents to publicize so that they could find her? I understand that part of course.
I just thought juveniles were to remain anonymous barring commission of murder.
She was missing, that is why. She is not being charged with a criminal offense, which is the only time they do not reveal the name of a minor. Unless of course, as you state, they are being charged as an adult for murder.
