Here are 5 things a child therapist says he doesn’t do when playing with his kids

In short, they become the “biker family” of an abused child, and they let the child and everyone else know that no one is going after their family.

As the BACA mission statement says:

“We exist as a group of bikers to allow children to not be afraid of the world they live in. We are ready to provide support to our injured friends by involving them in an established and united organization. We work collaboratively with local organizations and state officials already in place to protect children. We want to send a clear message to everyone involved with the abused child that this child is part of our organization and that we are prepared to provide support. our physical and emotional support by affiliation., and our physical presence. We are prepared to protect these children from further abuse. We do not, however, condone the use of violence or physical force in any way, if circumstances arise such that we are the only obstacle preventing a child from further abuse, we are willing to be that obstacle.

BACA members do everything they can to make abused children feel safe, which is huge for children who have been hurt, especially by the adults who are supposed to love and protect them.

Firstly, they set up a first ride to welcome a child into the biker family. Children are offered a vest and a patch, which they have the choice to accept or not. No pressure is put on a child. They take a photo with the child, which he keeps to remind him that he has family to call on when he is afraid. They serve as escorts when children are afraid to go somewhere. They show up at court hearings to help children feel less intimidated. They come to children’s homes when called to help provide for the family or to deter further abuse.

Although BACA does not physically confront the attackers at all, their mere presence conveys the message that a child has a band of protectors behind him. Watch these bikers in action:

And check out the BACA credo to see how dedicated these people are to this work:

“I am a member of Bikers Against Child Abuse. The die is cast. The decision has been made. I have crossed the finish line. I will not look back, I will not give up, I will not slow down, I will not back down and I will not stand still.

My past prepared me, my present is meaningful, and my future is secure. I am done with the low life, the walking by sight, the little planning, the smooth knees, the colorless dreams, the tamed visions, the trite words, the cheap donations and the eclipsed goals.

I no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position, promotions, applause or popularity. I don’t need to be right, first, at the top, recognized, praised, considered or rewarded. I now live by faith in my works and rely on the strength of my brothers and sisters. I love with patience, I live in prayer, and I work with power.

My destiny is fixed, my approach is swift, my goal is the ultimate safety of children. My road is narrow, my path is rough, my companions have proven themselves, my guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, diverted, lured, turned away, deceived or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the face of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, meditate on the pool of popularity, or wander the labyrinth of mediocrity.

I will not give up, I will not shut up, I will not give up until I have stayed awake, stocked up, prayed, paid and paid. am here for all injured children. I must go until I fall, ride until I give up, and work until He stops me. And when He comes for His own, He will have no problem recognizing me, because He will see my BACA backpatch and know that I am one of His own. I’m a member of Bikers Against Child Abuse, and that’s my credo.”
