Petition Automatic reporting restrictions for witnesses/victims under the age of 18

My son was 15 when he was attacked by a gang ranging ages of 14-22 years.

My son was not granted anonymity but the minors charged with GBH were.

Therefore my son’s name, our address and photographs appeared in the papers shortly after this life threatening assault.

More details

It is wrong that victims who are under 18 years are not afforded automatic protections from exposure in the press.

Victims of crime should be afforded the same or even greater protection from public exposure.
