On the day of January 8, 2007, Ben Ownby was abducted while he was walking home from school. He lived in Beaufort, Missouri and was 13 years old. A friend of Ben's from school tipped off the police which gave way to a four day search where not only he was discovered, but another boy was as well, a 15 year old (Shawn Hornbeck), who had been there since he disappeared 4 years earlier riding his bike.
I think that to answer the question, using the names of victims should not be definitely outlawed, but used at the victim or victim's family discretion. If someone wants a lot of publicity after experiencing a traumatic event, more power too them. However, if they would like to not let everyone in the world know of the pains and struggles they went through, they should be allowed to censor their own name from publicly released material.
