The Tribunal in Mother obo Child B v. School District C, 2015 BCHRT 64 discusses the importance of protecting the privacy of minors in contentious proceedings: Rule 5(7) establishes a presumption respecting minors for good reason…It is difficult enough growing up in the face of existing peer pressure without having the additional burden of adult-driven issues being superimposed in a public way in their formative years. Moreover, these issues may not be readily understood by other children and used as a tool of ridicule and hurt. While some public exposure is inevitable, broad public exposure through unrestricted publication is neither necessary nor in the child’s best interests. (para. 21)
