Reply to comment by AFD_0 in Lilly Borough Dad Overdoses 14-Month-Old Son With Fentanyl: Authorities by jillianpikora

There are legal nuances to reporting. The intent is also a factor, doxxing requires malicious intent which this is not. Giving the suspects block is pretty standard in journalism. It is also not a complete address, that combined with intent deems this not to be doxxing, especially since the suspect is currently in prison. Actually, the info reporters have is far more detailed and we leave things out such as the child's name, his current condition, the boy's mom's name etc. Also, in this case, other outlets and the police shared the same info. publicly. Just and FYI, since you pointed it out. :-) I hope you are having a great Friday and thanks for your time reading this and the article. https://localtoday.news/pa/lilly-mann-jailed-after-14-month-old-suffers-fentanyl-overdose-143477.html

Good info, thanks! And wasn't really questioning whether it was right or wrong of the reporter to include such information in their article, but rather that someone here shouldn't be banned (or warned) for repeating the exact same information if found in the linked article.

All you have to do is pull up Google Maps and WhitePages and with the info that's in the article, you can find a lot out.
