GIVAN, Justice,

¶1dissenting.

¶2I respectfully dissent from the majority opinion in their holding that the trial court erred in permitting the victim's mother and the police officer to testify as to the child's report of the crime to them.

¶3In view of the fact that the opinion of the Court of Appeals is published at 6183 N.E.2d 501, I feel it is unnecessary to go into detail in this dissent. The child testified that his father forced him to put his mouth on his "weiner." This of course is the substance of the charge. Nothing more was gained from the testimony of either the mother or the officers concerning the charge.

¶4I believe the Court of Appeals' opinion is correct in all respects. I would deny transfer in this case.
