Has anyone else heard that the brothers are going to be questioned again and giving DNA samples? Heard that on the television news at 11.
yes, it has been mentioned Teacher. as a long-time teacher who knows kids, what do you think they will accurately recall these weeks later? i think it's likely they've been coached. (ages 8 and 5 )
I think it depends on the IQ of the boys plus the experience of the interrogators. Whether coached or not, most kids if pressured in the correct manner will eventually tell the truth or accidentally blurt out something that is telling. (Remember Balloon Boy.) Some kids are harder to "crack" than others. The ones working directly with the boys need to be warm, friendly, loving and possibly make a game out of it. That's what worked for me plus promising no punishment for the truth.
