WHY NAME HER? 2

Stacy Moore of the Newsday, we see you gave in to the pressure from your seniors to use the six year old girl's name and photograph for your story in the Wednesday edition (http://newsday.co.tt/crime_and_court/0,79329.html).
Tsk tsk. What purpose did that serve? How does it ease her swelling or her fever to now have everyone identify her?
Oh but that wasn't the point. The point was that 'everyone else named her' and you didn't want to appear to be scooped, so you just had to go with the flow.
