Cruel

There have been many press reports about a boy who has become seriously overweight. He has been named and photographed. If he appeared in court as a defendant he could not be named. If he were a witness or a victim the court would make an order forbidding the publication of anything that might serve to identify him. For the crime of being fat, he is being publicly humiliated. How very very cruel.
