<<My question is I read alot of articles where the name is left out due to the age, since he is just 15 I'm wondering why they printed his name.>>
Although I may be a few years late to this question, it is a small thing called the First Amendment, which while not legally meaningful, does come before the Second Amendment. Last I checked, there is nothing in the First Amendment that prevents any media outlet from disclosing facts about minors. Whether a story is accurate is another issue, but there is nothing wrong with a disclosure about a minor -- even though many media outlets will, as a matter of policy, not include names of minors.
