Hi ! Below please find an article about children's testimony. Sincerely, Neil Brick This may be triggering for survivors of abuse. from http://www.newswise.com/articles/2000/5/ABUSE.SPR.html "Pediatric Academic Societies 15-May-00 Children's Testimony More Reliable than Physical Exams Library: MED LIF-SOC Keywords: SEXUAL ABUSE PEDIATRIC CHILDREN TESTIMONY EXAM OH Description: Allegations made by child victims of sexual abuse closely match the confessions of perpetrators." "The study, conducted at Children's Hospital Medical Center of Cincinnati, shows that allegations made by child victims match closely with confessions of pedophiles." "The researchers reviewed the records of 31 pedophiles who confessed between 1994 and 1999. The case files contained all available victim, witness and perpetrator statements, and pertinent victim medical records. They analyzed each case for admissions or denials of specific sexual acts. They also analyzed victim medical histories, examinations and reports from criminal investigators for specific histories of sexual assault and exam findings. The 31 perpetrators confessed to a total of 101 acts of sexual abuse, some of which they committed multiple times. The perpetrators abused 47 children. The 45 old enough to provide a history described 111 acts of sexual abuse. The perpetrators confessed to 68 percent of their victims' allegations, and they denied 6 percent." <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
