So hears a question. YCJA protects the use of a youth's name who both committed a crime or was a victim.

I'd do it, this is more than your average teenaged angst stupid spur of the moment decision.

But you make a good point, Benn. Just be sure to stick to provable facts. Are you sure YCJA doesn't say anything about protecting the name of a youth that is/was involved in the justice system, no matter how?
