I know there's no way I'm going to win this battle, but I would like to suggest that journalists shouldn't be quick to publicize information from facebook pages and spaces on the internets about people, especially minors, who aren't really public figures.
I've made mistakes along this line before, but the internet is really redefining our concepts of public and private spaces. The fact that something is, in a sense, "public" on the internet doesn't mean that it should automatically be seen as "fair game" by every news organization.
