As you know I have a Law Degree from the University of Minnesota and do agree that there is not enough proof often to try a case just based on the testimony of a kid. Often too kids are used in parental spats when one of or both will go for the jugular with a false accusation of sexual abuse.
Better education of kids about this might be part of the solution though doing this would be very tricky given limitations on just what a teacher could share with a very young kid and not be forced out of employment due to enraged parents for teaching the birds and the bees. I have no background in Elementary Education though.
Maybe, there are good links about this? The problem is that if a concerned uncle or aunt tries to step in and protect the kids, he/she may also be accused of trying to corrupt a minor.
