I was so relieved when they found Shannon alive and well. The procedure might seem a little unfair but keeping her away from her family means they can gather her statements in a controlled way. This means she can not be led in what she says. It is a long process to gather evidence from a child and is done in a non leading manner. They have to basically let her tell them what happened where as an adult would be asked direct questions.

It will all have to be videoed as well, which again is a lengthy process and she will have to be given a lot of time to relax between sessions. She will be staying with someone who has also had training in the field of disclosure.
