Attached is a video concerning the forensic interview of a child victim.  One of the basic principles when it comes to interviewing a child is that you want to limit the number of times that you interview a child.  It has to be done correctly one time on video.  After watching the video please outline what it is important to only interview the child one time?  Why is it important to have individuals trained in child forensic interviews to interview your child victims?

Do you think law enforcement should immediately seek information from the victims experience to follow leads on the case or should they give the victims time to settle down? Do you think women or children blame themselves more about why the crime happened to them?
