Fame and Misfortune

The Sun runs a front-page splash today about a 13 year old child who impregnated a 15 year old child and has now become a father. There are photographs of parents and child, and lip-smacking copy about this event.
Now if any of the people in this story, father, mother, or child, appeared in my court as defendants witnesses or victims I would be expected to announce an order, punishable with the weight of the law, that nothing might be published that would serve to identify any of the young people involved.
This is not just a 'story', but a tragedy for a number of people, above all this helpless baby. I don't know a lot about family law, but I do hope that the courts are able to wrap a legal cocoon about this unfortunate infant, to prevent it from becoming a star turn in the grotesque freakshow that our mass media now embody.
