On naming children

KARA reprints reporting from newspapers of record without redaction because that reporting is public, citable, and already part of the historical record. Where we choose what to include, we do not name children who were not already named in the public record, and we do not add photos of children to any blog entry.

Our judgment is that hiding what has already been written does not protect children. Refusing to add to what has been written sometimes does.

If you are the parent, guardian, or (as an adult) the person named in a blog entry and you want the piece removed or your name replaced, write to info@invisiblechildren.org and we will act within seven days. We do not require legal proceedings and we do not require an explanation.
