Abstract: Children are affected every day as a result of automobile accidents.This Capstone Final Project investigates methods to reduce the impact of trauma on child victims as a result of the relationship with the emergency responder at the scene of Road Traffic Accidents (RTAs).This researcher offers a recommendation to incorporate supportive tools for law enforcement to utilize in an effort to improve the "at the scene of an accident" response to the child.Law enforcement officers surveyed for this research acknowledged the benefit of positive acts from first responders who interact with children during a crisis.This qualitative research paper explores ways to reduce the level of adverse psychological impact of trauma on child victims.
