Abstract
Child abuse, especially sexual abuse, is a harsh, common reality. Nurses are called upon to assist children who may become part of the justice system. The philosophy of Human Caring, by M. Simone Roach, is used as a lens to illuminate the importance of legal caring. Acaring non-traumatic nursing interview with a child that has undergone sexual abuse is presented. Acase study demonstrating the technique of skillful questioning of the child highlights how one U.S. state developed a statute and ordinance to protect the abused child from retraumatization and to maintain legal verbal evidence. Recommendations for successful approaches for legal caring in the initial stages of contact with the victim and family are outlined.
