In the United States, media generally won't release the name of a minor victim. But they could, and they don't need permission. Freedom of the press is guaranteed by the First Amendment.

Even if she tells the media that she's willing for her full name to be used, they generally won't do it without her parents' agreement as long as she is a minor. She's not considered to be old enough to make such a serious decision on her own behalf.
