They can have the child testify in court if the child has relevant information about the incident. Many prosecutors will weigh their decision on calling a child depending on the nature of the charge and whether or not other witnesses can prove the case without calling the child to testify. If you have concerns you should voice them to the prosecutor and discuss the testimony with them.
