Yeah this REALLY came to light a couple decades ago with Day care workers. Long story short A LOT of daycare workers were convicted of innapropriately touching and harming children. But the thing is pretty much all of those confessions were done when the police basically interrogated the children themselves. It was discovered much later the children had only accused those workers of harming them because they were just giving the answer they thought the police wanted. Even so most of the workers affected did not get their lives back and couldn't work with children again. As a result it's not much more difficult to get valid testimonies from children as you also need to prove the child wasn't pressured into giving a specific response.

The goal is to get a detailed response without implying to the child what response the cops are seeking so they'll give an honest testimony of what they think. But in the past they used to just question them more like adults but gentler. Even if the cops are trying to get a real testimony a child may change their response based on what they think the adults questioning them want to hear.
