To explain using Megan Meier's name, this article says, "SecurityFocus has a policy of not identifying the underage victims of crimes."

It is worth pointing out that there may not be a crime, and therefore no victim, underage or not. Referring to her as a victim presupposes.

There definitely was a victimizer, but I don't believe that is what the policy refers to.
