Dean Tong, Author, Forensic Trial Consultant and Expert in highly
contested child abuse court cases, nationally, explains the difference
between false and unsubstantiated child abuse investigation reports
as determined by Child Protective Services (CPS). He articulates the
purpose of minimal facts interviews of children as conducted by
CPS and/or the Police, and then child forensic interviews normally
conducted at the Child Advocacy Center (CAC) or Child Protection
Team (CPT) by specialist forensic interviewers.
Tong covers important topics such as child suggestibility, source
monitoring (or lack thereof), confirmation bias, coaching, and
possible memory source contamination of children's reports or
statements, and the impetus these concepts have relative to the
overall spontaneity, reliability and trustworthiness of their alleged
abuse disclosures. He addresses child forensic interview
methodologies; including the NICHD, et al and why question
typology is so essential when child forensic interviewers ask kids a
bevy of questions on topics that are sensitive in nature.
Dean Tong provides anecdotes during his False Allegations for
Dummies webinar, and hopes Attorneys and Pro Se litigants learn
from the same.
