Name younger adults if they are charged for murder/manslaughter with any weapon.
The current restriction on releasing the names of persons being prosecuted for murder or manslaughter, because of their age is too restrictive. If say 12 - 16 years old, are “old enough” to carry weapons of any sort; knives, machetes, guns etc, then surely they are old enough to be named?

Background
I think the current restriction needs to be challenged and reviewed, crying a weapon MUST have consequences, and this would be a good start!
