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

Because the legal system has determined that minors are not as capable as mature, grown adults of fully comprehending the consequences of their actions. Also because minors are more easily coerced or manipulated into committing crimes. Minors are also more likely to be abused with no way to escape the abuse, which may over time cause a small number of them to develop antisocial tendencies. Finally, minors are also still developing mentally, and the additional consequences of their identity being publicized may cause extreme mental distress and developmental problems due to the lack of opportunity and societal ostracism
