ouazkee county wi, that’s as much as i’ll give out. i’m a victim for my dad, he’s now an offender, but the press posted something abt it, twice now, i already had the other article removed, but now there’s a new one, and it mentions what i said abt my dad, and im wondering if it’s illegal to tell ppl what minors say in the child advocate place in sauvkville wi, and if a news reporter or whatever can write what i said
In general, Wisconsin law prohibits disclosure of confidential communications between a child and an advocate. However, there are exceptions:
- If there's a court order
- The child's safety is at risk
- The information was shared with a third party
As for the media, they are usually allowed to report on court proceedings. It's best to consult a lawyer.
so someone shared my story third party and i rly can’t do anything abt it?
It depends. If the information published is inaccurate or defamatory, you might have a legal recourse. For further assistance, consider speaking with a local attorney who specializes in defamation or privacy law.
i don’t want to contact my attorney about this nonsense unless i can actually do soemthing. the article didn’t mention my name no, but i’m a minor and they shared something i said that was supposed to be confidential and private and was told that it wasn’t gonna get posted anywheree
It's important to understand:
- If your name is not mentioned, it may not be a clear privacy violation.
- If the information is accurate, defamation claim might not be applicable.
- You can request the publisher to remove the information.
Discussing this with a legal expert can provide clear guidance.
i did request that they take it down, i requested twice. around a year ago i had to go back and talk tot hem abt a completely different case and i brought up the article that was posted, had my intials and everything in it, but as soon as i got home it wasn’t posted, but now there’s a new one, i contacted the ouzkeee press and i also left a news tip and basically yelled at them but i don’t know if doing the news tip was the best idea. i jus want this article removed at never brought up or posted again cuz this is jus irritating that someone had to post abt it. kinda hurts me in a way
I understand your frustrations, Ari. If the publisher isn't responsive, you may need a cease and desist letter from a lawyer. This is often effective. Remember, a lawyer can help ensure your rights are respected and guide you through this process.
i also thought u we’re like some type of law agency thing we’re ppl can get help from you to know if soemthing is illegal or not
Yes, Ari, we provide information on legal matters. In this situation, it seems your best course of action is to consult with a legal expert who can guide you on possible next steps, like issuing a cease and desist letter.
i know my rights, i’ve had to deal with detectives and cops and attorneys for almost two years and it’s finally over but not the articles, i know my rights. and this sir or maam, this is not right nor do i want it posted for the world to know.
I understand your feelings, Ari. You've been through a lot. However, as I've mentioned, it's best to consult with a legal expert for further assistance. They can provide guidance based on your specific situation and rights.

I understand, Ari. It might be beneficial to talk to those individuals who are already familiar with your case. If you can't find their contact information, would you like assistance in locating it?
u will not catch me talking to someone from the advocacy place in saukville, they are the reason why these articles are out.
