Assignment Details

In learning new skills, a helpful strategy is finding examples of poor and best practices. In this lesson, you reviewed the latest research on conducting forensic interviews of children and examined the latest National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Investigative Interview Protocol. Before participating this discussion, watch the documentary Child of Rage and then engage in a conversation on the development of NICHD Investigative Interview Protocol.

Having watched the documentary, identify three different specific points in the documentary where you might have done something different? Please indicate the specific time point within the video, so others are able to view the segment and discuss your assessment. In replying to other students, how might that strategy have changed the trajectory of the forensic interview?

In your responses to classmates, explain why you agree or disagree with their assessment.
