Just yesterday, a Bob Evans employee accused of lewd conduct with a minor... before reading the story are we to think this happened at the restaurant? I've seen bars, restaurants, landscapers, etc. all have their name published because of an ill deed by a current or former employee. I think it's incredibly unfair to the businesses who have made a home here. I'll add though, if the bad guys were teachers, police, elected officials, etc. then it would be necessary to know who they're involved with professionally.
Don't really understand your double standard, but I think the vast majority of people understand that a bad employee does not necessarily mean the business owner or business is bad. Likewise, a bad cop does not necessarily equate to a bad police organization. Carrying it further, I don't think a bad kid necessarily means the parents were/are bad parents. I know I don't.
