This document discusses a case involving an 11-year-old girl who went missing at an amusement park. Several eyewitnesses reported seeing a girl matching her description leaving with a man. Later, the girl was found sexually assaulted in a park dumpster. The document outlines several issues with the eyewitness accounts, including inconsistencies in the descriptions of the suspect and discrepancies in the number of witnesses who could identify the victim or a sketch of the suspect. It recommends using forensic interviewing techniques to develop an accurate timeline and assess the parents' attention levels to determine if they were negligent. The document also notes the need for psychological assessments of the eyewitnesses to evaluate their attention and determine the reliability of their claims.

1. The History of China and Indonesia shadow and/or puppet
theatre.
Thesis : This essay will discuss the history of art, culture, and
development of China and Indonesia traditional shadow (play)
or puppet theatre importance to the modern era.
Unlike the western countries, in Asia puppet theatre is still
a common tradition. In China and Indonesia, traditional puppet
show is largely spread out around some areas. These Puppet
show stories are incorporated to the cultural values, norms, and
tradition of a certain areas. This essay will discuss the history
of art, culture, and development of China and Indonesia
traditional shadow (play) or puppet theatre importance to the
modern era. The purpose of this paper is to encourage the
younger people from China and Indonesia to be more aware
about the unique traditions of puppet theatre, and to develop an
innovative aspects in the theatre show using the traditional
puppets from the older times. These puppets comes from
different sizes, history, and composition. It also has different
types such as, Shadow Puppets which are popular in Indonesia,
China, Malaysia, Thailand, and South India, Stick Puppets or
Wayang Golek of Java, or/and Hand or glove puppets which are
common in India, China, and Japan.
In Indonesia, puppet shows or Wayang Golek performances
are usually happens in a village and the show itself is informal.
People watch the performance during religious rituals,
marriages, births, tourist attraction, even funerals. These puppet
shows has a very deep meaning to the environment and its
surroundings. Villagers think of it as an effective in warding
evil spirits and epidemics, avoiding bad events and bringing joy
to the community.

2. In China the puppet is known as Bunraku. The puppets
were used in religious ritual and special occasions. The show
usually held yearly on a temple ground for an all day puppet
performance to celebrate the memorial of ritualistic beginnings
of the culture’s traditional art form also the original founder.
Both of Indonesia and China puppet show were made as an
animistic ritual, where the ancestors were brought back to life
by shadows for the purpose of initiating the youth.
In South east Asia specifically Indonesia, the Wayang
Golek stories is still based on mystical and religious beliefs. It
is based from the legendary tales of Ramayana and
Mahabharata. In the beginning years of puppetry, Indonesia
shares common myths and rituals (2000 B.C.) with Malaysia.
They do some worship such as rice harvest festivals, and ritual
religious events. It developed to some repertoires such as, as
heroic epos, fairy tales, music, problems, etc. Wayang Kulit is
popular for its court productions and other ‘fancy’ traditional
(even in modern era).
The traditional puppet plays from China is divided into
three different categories which are religious, military and civil.
The religious part is taken from Buddhist and Taoist beliefs and
practices. The military part comes from the history of China
wars of the Three Kingdom. The civil plays are romances,
comedies, common problems that are facing the people
surrounding from everyday life, etc.

9. Scientific Methodology
An 11-year-old girl was reported missing at an amusement park
on September 2011. The timing of the report was not mentioned
during the initial reporting period. The observational time
period of the incident can indicate the population and the
capacity of the park in order to determine when the child was
most likely kidnapped. Due to the nature of the case and the
information provided by the park, the best approach for this
case would be to use forensic interviewing in order to develop
an accurate timeline of events. Both parents did not realize their
daughter was missing for approximately 45 minutes before
notifying the amusement park authorities. Both parents thought
the other one had the child. At this time, interviewing the
parents separately and using cognitive interview techniques can
put into place what both parents were doing and paying
attention during the kidnapping. Cognitive interviewing or
forensic interviewing can help place the parents back to the
time to recall any missing information that they did not
remember during the time of the incident. This will help recall
the event during the first 45 minutes and determine if the parent
are able to recognize any of the unknown subjects in a line up.
The authorities were notified and placed security watches
around all the entrances and exits throughout the park and
questioned patrons leaving the park. In order to suggest that all
entrances and exits were manned by security a roaster of all
security personnel and their post at the time of the incident
must be a part of the investigation to account for the where
about of all personnel location during the time of the event.
When questioning patrons nearly 20 reported seeing the girl
who fitted the description leaving the park with a man. All 20
patrons’ information was recorded and their personal
information was taken to follow up interviews. During the time
of questioning of the 20 patrons who reported seeing a girl

10. fitting the description leaving the park, where the patrons
subject to seeing a picture of the girl or did the security
personnel give a description of the missing person. This can
eliminate questions on whether or not the eyewitness was
tampered with before a court trial. Later that day, park officials
did a sweep of the park and found the girl fitting the description
that the parents give the park official in the dumpster in a
remote section of the park near the service entrance, which she
appeared to have been sexually assaulted. The park stated “All
entrances and exits were covered by security personnel” then
why was the service entrance not manned with a security watch.
This can lead to a questioning attitude and the integrity of park
official who claim all entrances and exits were manned. Police
then contacted the 20 patrons who earlier stated seeing the girl
leaving the park, but only three of them were able to identify
the girl in a photo array. At this time, we are able to conclude
that the 20 patrons were not tampered with because only three
recognized the picture of the girl. Eight of the patrons reported
that the suspect appeared to be Latino male, but the other four
suggested the suspect was African American. If only three out
of twenty was able to identify the girl, how come eight patrons
reported the suspect appearing Latino and four suggested
African Americans? What did the three patrons who identified
the girl suggest the appearance of the unknown subject was?
Later the officers used computer software to sketch out a
possible suspect and only 15 agreed that the sketch resembled
the man they had seen. Again, if only three patrons were able to
positively identify the victim how can 15 agree that the sketch
resembled the man? Are the patrons related and did they speak
to one another before seeing the sketch. Police later that night
released the sketch on the news asking for any additional
witness who can provide information to find the suspect. Three
weeks had past and they received approximately 200 leads, but
only five of the 200 leads where individuals who were at the
park on September 2011 based on the surveillance video of the
entrances and exits of the park. The detective on the case

11. annotated that the only evidence they have is eyewitness
evidence because there was a problem with the DNA collection
and psychical evidence being obtained. Who is the eyewitness?
Is the eyewitness able to choose the victim in a line up?
Moreover, it is recognized that the eyewitnesses presented
conflicting information regarding the crime that took place on
September 2011. What are the conflicting information? Is the
conflicting information related to the story line or the placement
of the unknown subject and victim? The detective realized in
order to obtain a conviction of the guilty individual, she would
need to be able to obtain a meticulously placement of any of the
five subjects with the girl on the day of the disappearance and
sexual assault on September 2011.
Theoretical Framework
According to Veronique (2015) the United States in the mid-
1980s surged a movement in missing children do with the
results from disappearances in the country. Moreover, Ethan
Patz (6 years old) located in New-York when he was walking to
school, which was two blocks away from his residents.
Additionally, Adam Walsh (6 years old) disappeared from a
Sears’s department store in Florida according to Veronique
(2015). Two weeks later Adam’s body was located in a drain
pipe with a severed head. He was located 62 miles from the
place of disappearances. Whilst predatory adults do exist and
some children are abducted by strangers every year, the great
majority of children (and adults) reported missing to the police
will return in days (Home Office, 2011). A major issue for the
police and the people reporting a missing child is the
assessment according to Hayden and Goodship (2013) due to the
fact that it is believed that the missing by those responsible for
them at the time. According to Hayden and Goodship (2013)
such risk assessments are not necessarily rational and may be
framed by values and subjective perceptions with extreme event
leading to either an overestimate or risk because of anxiety, or
an underestimation of the risk that are infrequent. In contrast
the parents of the missing girl were unaware of their child for

12. 45 minutes. Did each parent know the where about of each other
during the time. Is this the reason why they delayed the
reporting of their missing child. According to Veronique (2015)
a seminal article published in 1962 by pediatrician C. Henry
Kempe (Kempe et al. 1962) was a major factor in discovering
the frequency of ill-treatment of very young children by their
close kin. The study brought the focus to interfamilial abuses,
including sexual abuse. Furthermore, reporting a child missing
to the police is self-evidently about the child's whereabouts are
unknown and eventually when both parents do not know the
whereabouts of the child due to believing the other parent has
the child. In contrast to the kidnapping of the girl, which parent
had the child last before the child was noticeably missing. The
psychological theory of attention is broken down into four main
functions, which are signaled detection and vigilance, search,
selective attention, and divided attention (Sternberg &
Sternberg, 2012). Divide attention was the most influential on
cognition in this case. As described by Sternberg and Sternberg
(2012) divided attention is the allocation of attentional
resources to different tasking. In other words, divide attention
allows us to allocate multiple tasking throughout the day. When
objectives are parallel, it becomes easier to divide attention to
complete objectives of the same nature. In order to divide
attention when there are unparalleled objective it must be
learned and practiced. Moreover, it is the ability to multitask
different objectives in the order of importance and least
importance. Furthermore, Sternberg and Sternberg (2012)
explains divided attention as the engagement of two or more
tasking. Sternberg and Sternberg (2012) discussed that most
people are able to listen to music and concentrate on writing
simultaneously. In comparison, people are better at dividing
their attention when competing task are in different modalities.
In contrast, it will be a good idea to do a psychological test on
both parents to determine their attention in signalling detection
and vigilance, search, selective attention, and divided attention
to determine where or not the parents were negligent or had

13. something to do with the kidnapping of their daughter.
Likewise, this can help with the eyewitness case to rule out the
parent and focus on the five unknown subjects. This will also
help determine whether or not the eyewitness claim is
justifiable through psychological assessment to range there
signaled detection and vigilance, search, selective attention, and
divided attention.
Ethical Implication and Ethical Conduct
Among this case there are many factors, which contributes to
potential ethical implications and integrity of the cause for the
forensic psychologist. The high level of concern for the welfare
of the family and the client can lead to coercion and deception,
threats to confidentiality and trust of the case. The relationship
between the family and forensic psychologist must not
compromise the integrity of the case due to dual and multiple
role relationship between the victim’s parents, client, and
forensic psychologist. According to the American Psychological
Association Psychologists recognize that fairness and justice
entitle all people to access to and benefit from the contributions
of psychology and to equal quality in the process, procedures,
and service being conducted by a psychologist (Koocher,
Spiegel, 2008, pg. 551). Additionally, The American
Psychological Association suggests multiple-role relationships
occurs when a therapist is already in a professional role with a
person or in another role with the same person or closely
associated with or related to the person (Koocher, Spiegel,
2008, pg. 263). Moreover, evaluate the rights, responsibilities,
and vulnerability of all affected parties. Before the psychologist
speaks to the client or victim’s parents there are necessary steps
which need to take place before any forensic interview begins.
Informed consent in psychology involves both verbal and
written communication between clients and therapist. Informed
consent is in agreement between professionals and client, which
bonds rules, regulations, and confidentiality. The detective and
psychologist must understand their role in the case in order to
minimize and understood the information and rules of each

14. individual. It is important to have informed consent before any
treatment, counseling, research, experiment, and expert witness
testimonies. According to APA (2014) Standard 3.10 states
informed consent is a requirement when conducting research,
counseling, therapy, or assessment (Koocher & Keith-Spiegel,
2008, pg. 555). The foundation of any relationships with a
psychology professional and client should involve around the
guidelines of engagement between both individuals. It is
important to have rules and regulations in order to have an
understanding of what to expect and the lines of boundaries
which should not be crossed. The clients most know how fur
confidentiality goes when speaking to a psychology
professional. When receiving consent the person must be
mentally sound and able to understand what they are agreeing
to. Overall consent must be understood by both parties agreeing
to the terms and the consent should follow all legal and ethical
term and procedures. In this case the forensic psychologist,
must establish informed consent by sitting down with the client
and write an agreement both parties agree to the terms. Since,
forensic psychology deals with the legal processes, it must be
understood that forensic psychologist are not lawyers but expert
witness to behavioral analysis. This consent must be created
before we are allowed to work with the clients or cases, so both
parties understand the boundaries of the relationship and
expertise. Do with the fact of the case of an 11-year-old girl
was reported missing at an amusement park on September 2011.
The timing of the report was not mentioned during the initial
reporting period. The observational time period of the incident
can indicate the population and the capacity of the park in order
to determine when the child was most likely kidnapped. Due to
the nature of the case and the information provided by the park,
the best approach for this case would be to use forensic
interviewing in order to develop an accurate timeline of events.
Confidentiality must be understood by all parties in this case in
order to minimize any disclosure of confidential information.
The role of the forensic psychologist must be understood during

15. the case to avoid any confusion on the role of the forensic
psychologist. The ethical dilemma which can arise in this case
is the psychological role of the client and the victim’s parents.
This can cause an ethical dilemma because the psychologist
must always stay ethical, tells the truth, and stay within their
field of knowledge, but when a client or victim asks the
psychologist to lie to protect them it can cause in an ethical
dilemma. In order to minimize this from happening an outlines
of guidelines and agreements must establish before continuing
the case which evaluates the rights, responsibilities, and
vulnerability of all affected parties will have to sign such
agreement before moving forward with the case to delineate any
ethical issue which can affect the case of client eyewitness.
Furthermore, determine whether the matter truly involves
ethics. This is the starting point in order to identify any moral
or ethical principle which are applicable to a current situation.
This will allow the investigation to determine if they're on any
ethical dilemmas involved.
Implications of Diversity
It is important for psychology professionals to develop empathy
around cultural differences, lifestyle differences, and diversity
when handling cases because of clients who backgrounds are
different. Psychology professionals are there to guide their
clients to a health recover or resolution to their issue, so there
is no room to judge. In this case of the missing girl the
psychologist must not be biased because he or she also has a
child around the same age. Personal feeling must not cloud the
evaluation of the case because of personal and ethical belief
which are different from others. By being empathic this will
allow psychologist working the case to be more diverse and
understanding of each cultural differences in order to find the
right path or type of assessments for the client in order to
determine who is the best eyewitness in order to solve the case.
According to the American Psychological Association
Psychologists recognize that fairness and justice entitle all
people to access to and benefit from the contributions of

16. psychology and to equal quality in the process, procedures, and
service being conducted by a psychologist (Koocher, Spiegel,
2008, pg. 551). To be empathic is the key to be successful when
working with different types of clients and cases because this
will show the client compassion and that the psychologist
understand the terms of the case. Being empathic and
understanding the differences in parental mentoring must not be
viewed as Negligence occurs when an individual falls below an
ordinary or reasonable level of care. Once the authority was
notified they place security watches around all the entrances
and exits throughout the park and questioned patrons leaving
the park. As a forensic psychologist the root cause and root
condition of this cause revolve around both parents, who did not
realize their daughter was missing for approximately 45 minutes
before notifying the amusement park authorities. Both parents
thought the other one had the child. Although there is no
information about the race of the parents and the victim an open
mind is important because of the information and description of
the unknown subject race and gender can easily affect the
psychologist prospective or assumption of who the unknown
subject is because the description of the unknown subject was
he was either African American or Latino which could imply
that the female is of white decent. Moreover, the description of
the eyewitness has not been noted and show reminds unknown
to avoid any basis tendencies when evaluating which eyewitness
is the best one in order to receive a verdict or guilty. In order to
resolve this issue the description of all witness such as race and
sex should not be disclosed to the forensic psychologist in order
to minimize any basis or culturally basis stereotype to influence
the decision of the psychologist.
