Preferred term

child witnesses  

Definition(s)

  • When accusations of child abuse arise, the only witness is often a child. In the past, legal restrictions on child witnesses prevented their testimony from being included as evidence in criminal cases, thus making prosecution of such crimes difficult. [Source: Encyclopedia of Applied Developmental Science; Law, Child Witnesses]
