I was just kind wondering why minors who commit really horrible crimes get their identify hidden.
I understand like 9ish and under but like 13~ to 17 is very confusing for me

I think it matters far more today with the amount of personal information that is available online about almost everyone. When I was very young (1983), a 13 year-old kid in my neighborhood killed his little brother and mother. It made national news, as did his name, because it was so shocking; he was a middle-class kid with a seemingly ideal life and family.
I just tried, and can’t find anything online about him beyond the fact that he was released and enrolled in college in Virginia in 1989. All he had to do was change his name and state, and he is pretty much gone. That can’t really happen today.
