If there’s no evidence beyond an anonymous tip, this is the wrong response. Make enough anonymous tips, and every kid in America could be required to sit for an interview, over and over.
Comment on Pete Buttigieg Says He Was Separated From His Children After ‘Swatting’ Tip
Squizzy@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoIf someone reports that kids are being abused, then the trained professionals in childcare and abuse investigations should absolutely not have to include the presumed abusers or enablers in their process.
The child is the priority and their discomfort is better than their abuse.
Imagine if CPS was called because someone said the kids were being raped and the children had to sit their alongside their rapist answering difficult upsetting questions unsure of everything other than their abuser is beside them.

Then you have a completrly different set of circumstances where false reports wildly out number real cases and that would need to be accounted for but process should be followed regardless.

So, did you miss the “without first requiring some damned evidence” line, or simply ignore it…?

So you would seek to gather evidence from the victim, while their abuser is in the room with athority over them?
First port of call is separating and investigating.

Nobody has said that except you.
So, you’re investigating Epstein allegations, and you think Epstein himself is in the room for every interview…?
