@cymru999 That's ridiculous. Social networking was supposed to be for communicating with friends, people you actually know. Google+ is the only one that makes it like real life by letting you segregate what you share, like you would in real life. You're right. Kids shouldn't share their names with people they don't know, but then they shouldn't be talking to random strangers on the Internet in the first place, so it's a non issue. Google+ is for communication with people you actually want to know. If you wouldn't talk to them in real life, don't talk to them online. You version of reality has been skewed by the Internet.
And no wonder she had her account under suspicion: her "real name" is Violet Blue. Sounds fake to me. I doubt she was born with that name, even if she legally changed it, they would have to check those records against her birth name.
