um that's highly illegal of that paper, and i hope they're taken to court. even if the mom hadn't specified to keep her daughter's name out of it, there are still ethical and legal issues surrounding that sort of situation that should have kept that paper from printing that information.
but because she did specify to leave it out and they didn't comply, they could be accused of libel if taken to court.
