Opinion Prompt #­2. Child testimonies in abuse cases are not credible.

I disagree with this statement because I believe that children are the most important part of the testimonies. If you have a sexual or physical abuse case dealing with a child, the only way to know what happened is through that child. Say a child was getting hit by a parent, you would only take the story from the parent and not the child at all? The kid is who your suppose to be protecting and if you can't get a statement from them, how is this case even going to survive? I believe that child testimonies in abuse cases are credible because they're the ones who are dealing with the abuse, they're the ones going through the pain, their testimonies will help them receive the justice they deserve.
