In my experience, when the victim is a minor in WI, the complaint will do one of the following: exclude the victim's name; identify the victim by initials only; or identify the victim by first name and first initial of last name.
If you object to the way a victim is named in a complaint, you should contact the victim/witness unit in your county. Generally, you can reach the victim/witness unit by contacting the District Attorney's Office in your county.
