Forensic Interviews


 

Forensic interviews are sessions where an objective and trained forensic interviewer asks a child if he or she has been abused and if so, tries to get the child to speak about it. The interview is recorded to preserve the forensic interview for evidence if needed in court. Law enforcement, assistant district attorneys and Child Protective Service workers watch the forensic interview on television monitor as it is being recorded. Forensic Interviews are performed in an environment that is created to make a child feel comfortable.
