Bikers Against Child Abuse, Inc. (B.A.C.A.) exists with the intent to create a safer environment for abused children. They are a body of Bikers passionate about empowering children to not feel afraid of the world in which they live. They work in conjunction with local and state officials who are already in place to protect children. The local B.A.C.A. chapter rides to meet the referred child and he/she is given a vest with a B.A.C.A. patch sewn on the back. The child is also given bumper stickers, and other gifts that are generally donated by the public. Each child is given the name and number of two B.A.C.A. Members residing geographically closest to them, who then become the child’s primary contacts. Anytime the child feels scared and feels the need for the presence of his new B.A.C.A. family, the child may call upon these bikers to go to the child’s house and provide the necessary reassurance to feel safe and protected. B.A.C.A. Members and supporters also support the children by: providing escorts for them if they feel scared in their neighborhoods; riding by their homes on a regular basis; supporting the children at court and parole hearings; attending their interviews, and; staying with the children if they are alone and frightened. B.A.C.A. also holds other functions for the children such as Bar-B-Ques, and parties.
