Purpose and Reason:
DCYF recognizes that a victim of child abuse and neglect differs significantly in his/her ability to cope with the stress and trauma of repeated questioning and extensive courtroom testimony. This is especially true of a sexual abuse victim. This policy addresses the procedure to follow through which interviews or statements of those children who otherwise would risk additional emotional harm, can be recorded on videotape.
