It presents supports and methods of exchange adapted to their age, without constituting a ready-to-use professional protocol. It also invites one not to confuse solicited adults with protective adults, and shows the importance of anticipating the follow-up when a child mentions violence. A useful read for reflecting on listening practices, the place given to the voices of young children, and coordination among professionals to protect them.
