President and CEO of the Association of Prosecuting Attorneys, David LaBahn, returns to Shattered Lives to give an overview of child abductions and how the APA became involved. He will give listeners information on the importance of seeking therapy for the child's trauma and family reunification citing case examples. He will also talk about how he prepares prosecutors to be sensitive to the victimology involved in a child abduction and victim restitution.
