A girl doxxed my daughter over Discord and pranked called her multiple times (we're still not sure how she got our address and her phone number). When we contacted thee school, they decided that meant that, because my daughter got rightfully pissed off about it, that they had to apologize to each other. Nothing else was done about it. It was one of the last steps before we pulled her out of there and put her in online school.
Addresses and phone numbers are public. Instead of a phone book now you can just search a website.
For kids?
Not sure about kids. But with a last name and a city it can be pretty easy to find the parents. Here is one example of such a site if you wanna check it out.

Her name did not turn up, but her last name is unusual, so they might have figured it out from that. If there are any people other than us in this small city with our last name, I'd actually be surprised.
Yeah. Whitepages will list all people and phone numbers related to a person. You just have to pay them for it.
You can also ask them to remove it, but it doesn't keep it off forever.
However, these are 13-year-olds, so I don't think they paid for it.
Wow. That sucks.
