Opinion Prompt #2

Prompt #2 Child testimonies in abuse cases are not credible

I think this is so wrong because I believe a child is a good source. A child wouldnt lie if a parent was physically abusing them. A child should be credible becuase they know what really happens behind closed door. Its unfair that a child is not credible because judges usually believe the parents even if they could be lying. I think you can tell in a childs eyes. Why wouldnt you believe if  a child is being abused if he or she says it. Why would they want to lie about something like that. A lawyer cant say what goes on in a childs family they can deffend the child but they cant really know what has happend. The only person that would know is a child. Thats what I think, I do not agree with child testimonies in abuse cases are not credible.
