MamaJD: Why Publish Kyra Wine’s Photo?

MamaJD: I am curious about the SR's decision to publish photos of the girl. She is an underage victim in the absence of an Amber Alert. What are the factors, if you know, that helped guide the SR in deciding whether to publish the photos?

Question: I don't know the answer to this question. But I plan to forward it to Editor Steve Smith. We generally don't publish photos of crime victims. What do you think? Should we publish photos of young abuse victims or not?
