In a Domestic Violence Injunction proceeding which is brought on behalf of a minor child where the allegations are that the child is the victim of direct physical violence and/or direct sexual violence, the minor child may be brought to the hearing to present testimony before the Court without need for a motion, hearing on said motion, and an order for the minor child to attend said court proceeding so long as said minor child is twelve (12) years of age or older.
