Most people don't want to believe this happens. It's so hard to get the evidence we need. "We believe the girl, but once you confront someone about it and he denies it, you'll have a tough time. You have to prove it some other way.

How do you verify what the child is telling you? We. didn't have enough corroborative evidence to file charges. That doesn't mean she wasn't abused." Landefeld said the criminal process requires that the fhild talk about the details of the sexual assault over and over again. It begins when the child first reports the incident. Then a case worker and law enforcement officials must take the child's statement If the case goes further, the child then must testify before a grand jury.

"I'll interview the child before the grand jury," he said. "I try not to go over the testimony with the child because then I could be accused of rehearsing. "It's a degrading experience."

Cheryl said she doesn't think the decision not to pursue the case should have been made for her. "If that's what it takes (going to trial)," she said.

It just messes you up. If he did it to someone else, I'd want them to do it (testify). I don't want it to happen to anyone else. I don't think it was fair what he done to me. "I think you should try because at least it's a chance.

I'd like to try it. As long as I know it's true. I know he's guilty. What if he was let go and he did it to someone else, but it was severe and he killed them. I think I should make the decision." Landefeld said it that although it may be therapeutic for the victim to confront her abuser in court, without adequate evidence "it may not be in the public's best interest." "You have to keep in mind, the crimes are against the state," he said.

"You have to balance the public good against the rights of the victim. We feel we're wasting resources going after cases we don't have a chance of winning."

Bob Hively, case work supervisor for Children's Services, said he thinks Landefeld's reasoning is "garbage." "They've gone through so much already," he said. "If the prosecutor decides not to file charges, that makes them feel like no one believes them. I think it affects how they feel about themselves. They feel that they're not worth doing anything about or that no one cares." "We believe it happened," Landefeld said. "That doesn't mean we can prove it beyond a reasonable doubt She's a believable little girl.

She hasn't done anything wrong. We're not saying she's unworthy of believing. It's really, really frustrating." Despite the fact that her abuser will not be punished, Cheryl said she is glad she reported the incidents.

On Friday, the Soviet Union and United States issued a rare joint statement in Moscow demanding that all countries stop arms supplies to Iraq and that Baghdad withdraw from Kuwait immediately. The Soviet Union, Iraq's main weapons supplier, cut off shipments Thursday, while the United States froze Iraqi and Kuwaiti assets on the same day. France, Italy, Poland, Britain and other countries also imposed sanctions on Iraq. "The greatest thrill I've had is when a kid turns around and becomes strong in his own environment and when he takes along other kids with him, too," Connar said.

But fun is the last thing on the mind of those assigned to patrol it. "This is a city, and it's a new city every day," State Highway Patrol Lt. David Peters said Friday. The patrol has sole police powers at the event.

The patrol spokesman said that as many as 300,000 people a day come through the fair gates. That means officers must deal with a changing population that brings new problems every day of the 18-day event. The crime rate at the fair is relatively low, especially when compared to similar events in other cities of similar size, Peters said. "It sounds corny, but it's a family affair," Peters said. "People come here for one purpose, to have fun.

And for the most part that's what they do. It's one place where people take care of people." He said that despite the presence of 120 troopers assigned to the fair, as few as 10 arrests a day may be made, mostly for misdemeanor offenses. Peters said the most disturbing problem troopers encounter is lost children. All lost children are brought to the patrol fairground headquarters and sheltered there until their parents or guardians are found. In past years, the patrol has had to entertain up to 50 lost children a day.

Last year, more than 1,400 children and parents were reunited before the fair ended. "The disturbing thing is someone out there should be asking where Johnny is," said Peters. "Some children, and I mean some small ones, may stay at the headquarters for several hours, and as late as midnight." Peters said" the number of lost children depends on the events.

He said it is so popular because it is fun for the officer. It also gives troopers, most frequently seen handing out traffic tickets or making arrests, a chance to do a little public relations work. "The fair is one time when we can interact with people in a positive way. They know we're there to help them, Peters said.

The gold tags, available at the entrance and other locations, have places for identification and a phone number for frantic parents to call. A video message system, which allows parents to put a message on video terminals located around the fairgrounds, also is in place, he said.
