  • Essay On Child Interviewing

    652 Words  | 2 Pages

    In reading about this case, I am struck first and foremost, by the damaging effects of improperly executed child witness interrogation practices, and the enormous value of the immense body of research and the resultantly improved understanding of the effects of the proper handling of such a delicate undertaking. I can’t help but feel that the interrogation process itself, can in effect be a traumatic event, and the manner in which it is carried out acting as either a benefit or an added stressor, to a child already in obvious distress. These considerations are directly responsible for so many cases of child abuse not being reported, out of a fear of worsening an already painful experience, and underline the great need for, and value of, such protective and progressive institutions, such as child advocacy centers.

    In one particular incident where Randy called the cops to come, Aaron forced Wendy and Randy to go outside to tell them nothing was wrong. There was a video camera surveillance Aaron used to spy. Even after multiple visits from cops and neighbors witnessing the violence and yelling that was going on, nothing was done. It was only discovered when the police unveiled the pictures one of the children drew to cover up the punches on the wall that the police suspected domestic violence was present in their home. She had no choice and was unable to speak up, because she knew what he was capable of doing to her family and her children. She feared for her children’s safety, but it boggled my mind that even when others tried to help her and her family, she covered it up for the sake of their safety. If she had reached for help, there could have been an alternate outcome. It was evident Randy, Joshua, Marshall, and Tyler grew up in an abusive environment where Aaron would beat them and their mother whenever he wanted to, but nothing was done to bring justice forward. Perhaps, even if Wendy did try to reach out, she felt like no justice would be served and she would still be trapped in that abusive and dangerous
