We found that attorneys primarily ask closed-ended temporal location questions (i.e., asking when an event took place using a temporal construct such as day, month, and year) to child witnesses. Additionally, children, of all ages, rarely said \"I don't know\" or expressed uncertainty in response to temporal questions.

Pediatric FNs focus on caring for vulnerable children in crisis and must respond empathetically to victims using trauma-informed care principles.

Pediatric FNs and multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) handle complex family dynamics in child maltreatment cases, requiring robust skills to care for both patients and themselves to combat secondary trauma. Forensic professionals assess child abuse allegations, formulate safety plans, and make key recommendations. Understanding how they develop resilience is crucial, as better resilience is linked to retention in the field, which needs skilled professionals. In our qualitative study, we explored how FNs develop resilience during their careers. We interviewed a sample of eight experienced FNs from two different programs involved in the care of victims, including maltreated children and adolescents in the southeast United States to understand how they mitigate burnout, compassion fatigue, and secondary trauma.

One-third of the children disclosed abuse during the pre-substantive phase of the interview, with almost half of these disclosing early. Even children aged 3 provided forensically relevant information across multiple turns, comparable with the 5-year-olds.
