The degree to which details of crimes involving children are able to be published depend on the area in which the crime has occurred, or is prosecuted.

It is illegal in many places to publish the name of, or details which might lead to the identification of, a child victim of crime. These type of laws usually also apply to victims of sexual attacks.

Legislation can be very strict where publication of details of crimes involving children, or crimes of a sexual nature involving victims of any age, are concerned.

For example, in some places it is an offence to publish or otherwise release the name of a sex-offender, or of a person suspected, charged, or convicted of offences involving a child, where publication of the offender's name might reasonably lead to public identification of the victim.

In rare circumstances such crimes might be committed randomly and by a person totally unknown to the victim, and publication of the offender's name might be held not to lead to identification of the victim.

However, in the majority of these cases the offender is known to, or related to, the victim. The publication in this instance of the offender's name could easily lead to identification of the victim, and so such publication is illegal.

You'll need to specify a particular place of interest - country, state, even city - to discover what the laws are in relation to publication of data referring to child victims of crime, to what extent those laws are enforced, and in what manner.
