Forensic Interview
A specially trained Child Forensic Interviewer will conduct a single, child-focused, non-leading interview in a child-friendly environment. This process is observed by law enforcement, medical staff and child protective services through closed-circuit television.
Medical Exam and Counseling
A child victim is seen on-site by medical staff who provide a comprehensive exam. Counseling services are also offered for both the child and family.
Advocacy
A Child Victim Advocate is appointed to provide support, information, and referrals for the child victim and their non-offending caregiver. The advocate supports the family throughout the investigation. The advocate can help prepare the child and family for court if necessary and attend with them if requested.
