New Law Allowing Murdered Children To Be Named Comes Into Effect

A new law that allows murdered children to be named comes into effect today.

It also allows the media to name people accused of killing them, and permits parents to speak publicly about their murdered children.

The amendment to the Children's Act was proposed by Senator Michael McDowell, and later signed into law.
