Sample Question 1
Which of the following would be the best question to ask a child about a suspicious injury that you have observed?

B. 'Did your father do that to you?' Assuming a specific individual is responsible can lead to misleading information and bias.

A. 'Who did that to you?' Directly asking who is responsible may cause the child to feel pressured or scared to disclose the truth.

D. 'Did someone hit you?' Providing potential scenarios in the question may limit the child's response and prevent them from fully explaining how the injury happened.

Answer: C Asking questions in a curious manner without implying you suspect any foul play is very important. You want the child to tell you what actions occurred even if you suspect someone else inflected the injury.
