A: This really depends on what the situation is. If it’s a minor who has committed a crime then their identity is usually protected. But if the teen did a good deed in the community then the identity of the teen may be given. It really depends on the details of what is going on here. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558
