Credibilidad del testimonio de los menores en función de la edad

Abstract

In the breaks of couples with children, the court must determine the communication system of the child with the parent who does not have his custody. The testimony of minors is a controversial element, especially if there are allegations of abuse or sexual abuse. School Gardner argues that the child is a liar by nature, but authors like Clement and Padilla (2015) show that children tend to tell the truth. On this basis, this study examines whether the age of the children is a mediating variable in the truthfulness of the testimony and its possible manipulation.
