HELP ASAP!!! BRAINLIEST REWARD!!!!!
While writing in the newspaper office over the weekend, Jordan often keeps an ear on a live audio feed from the police station. While working, he hears about police responding to an accident at the county fair. The doors fell open while a ride was in motion and several people tumbled out. The ride operator hit the switch to shut the ride down, but then bolted. Some children were seriously injured. Many others watched it happen.

Jordan rushes to the fair, ready to interview witnesses about what happened. When he arrives, he finds several children behind police tape, waiting to be interviewed. The police have a detective trained to interview children coming to meet with them individually.

Jordan asks if he can talk to the group of children while they wait. The police refuse—repeatedly. Eventually they tell him he can speak with some adult witnesses they have already interviewed about the ride and ride operator.

Think about what you know about eyewitness testimony and interviewing children. Explain why police won’t let Jordan talk to the children but will let him talk to adults they have already interviewed.

Answer:

Because the children are in shock and need to provide their story of the incident to the police first before they speak to any other person

Explanation:

The children have to speak to the police first because they were there when the incident occurred and hence have a fresh memory of everything that occurred hence it would be best if they speak to the police first because they would say the truth. On the other hand, the journalists might ask them questions which would make them confuse or better still influence them to report things which did not really happen during the incident

In this case, the police did not allow Jordan to take the interview children as they are small in age and also key witnesses of the accident and police need to record their statements first.

What do you mean by eyewitness testimony?

Eyewitness testimony is a legal procedure in which supreme authority or police enquire about the incident that took place. The witness will provide a description of the situation and what they see.

This eyewitness testimony helps to provide direction to the case and supports in finding the culprit.In this case police denied allowing Jordan to interview childrens because they are in shock as they see  painful situation.

If the police allow the reporter, they might ask them confusing questions which will disturb them mentally. It is important for police to talk first so that they will tell the truth with clear memory without getting disturbed.
