This episode introduces a special series to bring attention to Child Abuse Prevention Month, celebrated in April each year. We are releasing 8 podcasts, 2 per week, that will bring you first-hand look at Shaken Baby Syndrome cases. We’ll talk with a doctor, a law enforcement officer, a prosecutor, a prevention specialist and families of victims of Shaken Baby Syndrome to bring you their unique experiences.
Our first guest in this series is Kari Egerbrecht. Kari is the mother of Brynn, who was shaken by her biological father when she was just 6 weeks old. Kari discusses the emotional day that Brynn was shaken, the injuries that Brynn suffered, the challenges Brynn faced on her road to recovery and the devastating effects that SBS has had on their family. Kari explains the challenges navigating the court system and even dealing with custody issues with Brynn's father, the perpetrator of the crime. Kari talks about how she found purpose in a non-profit that she and another mother of a victim of SBS founded called the Blue Ribbon Initiative. Through the Initiative, Kari is able to support families of victims of SBS and plans to bring prevention programs to local areas. Brought to you by the National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome (NCSBS).
