Usually, no.

Most States (and all regions of Canada) don't allow minors to be identified in relation to criminal proceedings, and even the media is often legally prohibited from disclosing the name of a minor accused of or convicted of a crime. Some States do allow defendants to be named regardless of age, but they are a small minority.

Caveat: If a minor is being tried as an adult, most states allow the accused's name to be made public.
