Abstract
All statutes, excluding military and tribal laws, that require that the identify of a child witness or victim involved in a criminal proceeding be withheld from the record or public, are included here. Some of the annotated laws define the age of the victim, the crimes of which the child was a victim, the types of identifying information covered by the law, and the defendant's rights.
