As the director of an agency that addresses abduction, abuse, and violence against children, I had the pleasure to work with Steven on a television show.  He had a tremendous impact on my work to protect children.  He implored me to share his story at my seminars and to encourage parents to stress to their children that they will be loved unconditionally.  It doesn’t matter what has happened, what the child has done, or what someone else has done to the child; the love and acceptance will still be there.  He felt this is critical to a child’s hope and behavior in a situation of abuse.  Steven was a young man of great courage and compassion – courage to help Timmy return home and compassion to help other children and parents know how to be personally safe.  I have shared his request for over twenty years, and hundreds of thousands have been affected by his life –  a life that was cut short, but yet continues to impact others. In this book, From Victim to Hero, Jim Laughter expresses Steven’s heart, and brings to light the extraordinary spirit of a young man that endangered himself because he believed it was the right thing to do.
