Printing the names presents a stigma to be faced by the friends, family, and children of these people...and I just think it's unfair to subject them to the humiliation the supposed offenders are subjected to...especially when the named haven't been convicted of anything yet. It's just not the way to go IMO. </div></div>The public should be in formed of what goes on in their society.

If someone in my family does something wrong and stupid--which has happened and no I won't mention what--then it won't be putting their name in the paper that will bother me. It has been people bothering me about it and judging my family. Back near the end of my fifth grade year, my sister was involved in something. I got to where I couldn't ride the bus home anymore without people harassing me about it after. I would get into arguments with people and they would say "well at least a member of my family didn't do that." when the argument had nothing to do with that. The day that the cat came out of the bag about it, I got real upset because people were asking me questions and telling me things that happened that didn't even come close to happening in the true version of it. And we went and told the principal about it and had a stop put to it. The student on the bus who spoke up to someone in my family about how people treated me over it was one of the main people harassing me.

I'm not really against having these happenings put in the paper about stuff like that. The only part that will bother me is how people treat the family and the rumors that are far from the truth.

That gossip filters down and eventually the 8 year old is at school listenting to and absorbing teasing and ridicule. You are so dense sometimes. </div></div>

I thought thats what you were implying, I misread it...everybody does it on here....think before you use dense as referring to someone misreading something
