Dear New Zealand Police,

1. What are the guidelines police follow when dealing with allegations of sexual abuse of children? 2. When children have made allegations of sexual abuse but remain with possible offender and then change their statement what are the procedures in place to insure the child has not be pressured or threatened to insure that change?
