I guess it's really bad to ask legitimate questions.
I think it's been established that the police became aware of this incident not via a police report filed by the girl's parent or guardian, but by a report from the County Children Services. The notoriety of the case proceeded any involvement from law enforcement. So, I'm not sure why you'd suggest that questions are off-limits.
I can only speculate why it went down that way. My first guess, and that's all it is, is that many families try to keep such incidents private. If I were this girl's parents, the last thing I'd want is for the world to find out that my 10-year-old daughter had been violated in this way. The last thing they probably wanted was to have the Columbus paper make their daughter national news.
I think the Columbus paper committed a horrendous case of journalistic malpractice here. The story wasn't even really about the girl. It was a salacious opening to a story about the impact that the SCOTUS decision was having on abortion clinics in general, so the girl's story was USED as a way to make sure eyeballs got on the story.
Unfortunately, now that Biden and the pro-choice crowd have elected to make this girl's case their cause celebre, her anonymity is now at risk. Some enterprising "journalist" is going to find out who she is. Maybe some pro-choice whack job will try to make a poster child out of her.
