A 3,000-member group called Bikers Against Child Abuse is helping abused children by providing a support network and pledging 24-hour protection.
For many B.A.C.A. members, child abuse is a personal issue they had to grow up with, as well.
“While it is against the purpose of B.A.C.A. to purposely engage a perpetrator,” B.A.C.A. does offer community support and protection through 4 structured levels of intervention.
The official B.A.C.A. website offers the following mission statement:
Bikers Against Child Abuse (BACA) exists with the intent to create a safer environment for abused children. We exist as a body of Bikers to empower children to not feel afraid of the world in which they live. We stand ready to lend support to our wounded friends by involving them with an established, united organization. We work in conjunction with local and state officials who are already in place to protect children. We desire to send a clear message to all involved with the abused child that this child is part of our organization, and that we are prepared to lend our physical and emotional support to them by affiliation, and our physical presence. We stand at the ready to shield these children from further abuse. We do not condone the use of violence or physical force in any manner, however, if circumstances arise such that we are the only obstacle preventing a child from further abuse, we stand ready to be that obstacle.
