What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois
My 5 year old child was left alone with two men unrelated to her, one of whom is a registered sex offender with charges of criminal sexual assault and aggravated criminal sexual assault against a 12 year old. I have full allocation of rights and am the residential parent. I will be filing an order of protection against her mother for risking her life and health. My question is can my daughter testify in court? I know that hearsay law does not apply in this case because she is under 13 and her mother risked her life and health but still would like to avoid the hearsay argument and have her testify, if possible.
