Don't you think it would have been easy for someone to find out and release if they wanted to? I mean his Daily story was out a few hours after the story broke, by tomorrow I'm guessing his name is out. It's Ames, not NYC.
No, I really do not think his name would have gotten out. How would it? Even if the media got his name, they would not have reported it without a quote or at least the kid's consent. It's not journalistically "news worthy" or ethical to just report, "hey everybody this is the name of the kid who called BDJ in."
