While I'm of course for that it doesn't always turn out that way. Many people do the anonymous route and then get doxed or otherwise get found out. People can and do figure stuff like this out even without really trying, especially if the circles are small like with many disabilities. Sharing anything can go back to you, that's why keep the power level down is the rule of Kiwi farms and still not always enough to keep members safe.It has an easy answer. Rip your name off and do it anonymously. You get all the benefits, the kid still gets privacy, everyone wins.
While offline example, my relatives were going trough divorce with serious complications and the teenage me was confused what to do. I couldn't talk really about this with my family so I talked with some older coworkers that I knew were perfectly trustworthy and actually had professional experiences around divorces. I kept it very vague, only giving out why it was confusing to me and how I was worried about my niece handeling her parents getting divorced in such a messy way. Still one of the women could recognize the couple from that and that actually got me bit panicked because a teenager who wanted to be respectful. She assured me that she didn't think me as a gossip, she just happened to know the couple so was able to figure the identies. Still made clear to me how hard staying anonymous can be.
