ABUSE PREVENTION | BIKERS AGAINST CHILD ABUSE

Provides several individualized services in order to deter child abuse. Services provided: - When first contacted, several members of B.A.C.A. will ride to the child's house and present the child with a patch, stickers, and a photograph of the child with their new biker family. Two bikers are assigned to the child as their primary contacts. - If abuse or harassment continues, members will create a presence at the home, being visible at times when the family may be most vulnerable. - Court appearances are also available. Assigned bikers will appear in order to provide support for the child and reduce fear about testifying against their abuser. Other services available: - Providing escorts if the child feels unsafe. - Riding by the child's home on a regular basis. - Staying with children if they are alone or frightened. - On-site support if needed, for the child's reassurance.
