Does the Act about naming juveniles take effect in this situation?

I take it you're referring to English law.
If a youth (a person between 10 & 17) appears before the Youth Court, they receive automatic anonymity. This is not the case in
the Adult Court.
Therefore, the Court will need to make an order under section 39
of the Children and Young Persons Act 1933 to prevent publication of information relating
to their identity, address and school.

I think if they are being tried as an adult they can be named, unless by naming the person it would identify the victim and the victim's family.
I.E. A juvenile causes harm to his/her sibling. By naming the juvenile it would identify the family. In these cases they typically do not name the juvenile.
I also think that this would depend on the specific criminal code in the state or province or country you live in.
