OMAHA, Neb., July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- VidaNyx, a leading evidence management platform, is honoring and celebrating the specialized professionals who play a key role in child abuse investigations by establishing July 11-15, 2022 as the inaugural National Forensic Interviewers Week. Just four years ago VidaNyx set out to solve a very specific problem – how to use technology for good to innovate a better way to protect recorded interviews of child survivors of sexual assault. The secure software platform replaces the practice of copying and circulating sensitive testimonies of trauma to various partners on DVDs and jump drives which unnecessarily expose testimonies to the risk of human error and malicious intent. To date over 115,000 child forensic interviews have been protected, saving over $19MM on the costs of DVD creation, distribution, long term storage, and transcription, as well as over 95,000 people hours.

Key Points: 
  • Forensic Interviewers provide developmentally sensitive, culturally appropriate, legally defensible forensic interviews of children and adolescents when an allegation of abuse has been made or if they have witnessed a violent crime.
  • "Forensic Interviewers deserve special recognition for the vital role they play in giving voice to children who have experienced unspeakable trauma," says Sara Boyd, CEO of VidaNyx.
  • "They quickly build rapport and trust, and many times they are the first person to whom a survivor of abuse discloses their entire story.
  • Trusted by over 8,000 agencies throughout the US, VidaNyx is easy to use, HIPAA Compliant and VOCA approved.
