A local psychologist said trauma would not be the only damage done if the child testifies.

“If the child has to relive the experience and the child was aware of what happened, it would cause a great deal of anguish for the child, but it could also lead to more confusion and other troubled memories or even create new memories that the child didn’t have previously,” Dr. Justin D’Arienzo said.
