These dudes are fucking legit.  They don’t just show up one day in court, either, they actually make friends with the kids and let them know they have a support system and that there are people in the world who care about them and will always have their back.  And less important, but also cool, is that the few times a couple of them have come into my cafe, they’ve been super friendly and polite and when I told one of the guys that I noticed his Bikers Against Child Abuse patch and wanted him to know how awesome I thought he was because of it, he got kind of shy and blushed and said, “The kids are the awesome ones, we just let them know they’re allowed to be brave.”

[bebinn]

The source is long, but so, so good. These men and women are available in 36 states, 24 hours a day to stand guard at home, in court, at school, even if the child has a nightmare. Many of them are survivors of childhood abuse as well, and know what it’s like to feel scared and alone.

In court that day, the judge asked the boy, “Are you afraid?” No, the boy said.

Pipes says the judge seemed surprised, and asked, “Why not?”

The boy glanced at Pipes and the other bikers sitting in the front row, two more standing on each side of the courtroom door, and told the judge, “Because my friends are scarier than he is.”

Bikers Against Child Abuse was founded in 1995 by a Native American child psychologist whose ride name is Chief, when he came across a young boy who had been subjected to extreme abuse and was too afraid to leave his house. He called the boy to reach out to him, but the only thing that seemed to interest the child was Chief’s bike. Soon, some 20 bikers went to the boy’s neighborhood and were able to draw him out of his house for the first time in weeks.

Chief’s thesis was that a child who has been abused by an adult can benefit psychologically from the presence of even more intimidating adults that they know are on their side. “When we tell a child they don’t have to be afraid, they believe us,” Arizona biker Pipes told azcentral.com. “When we tell them we will be there for them, they believe us.” ( Article)

More about BACA, from their site

[uriesays]

My parents are a part of this organization and they are metal af

They go on runs to protect the child if they feel even the slightest threatened no matter where. If the child needs them to go on vacation with them, they do. Bikers come from across the nation to watch over and take shifts for these kids. And the best part is once you’re adopted into this family as a BACA kid, you’re always one. Even when you’re 40 and the perp gets released from jail, they’ll come meet with you and find your best options for avoiding the person and maintaining the life you’ve built for yourself. Once a BACA child, always a BACA child. In Florida, there’s 100% rate for identifying the perp based on the child’s testimony. Why? Because BACA stands with the child and supports the child so they feel comfortable enough to point out their attacker.

What’s better than a badass biker gang being on your side???

NATIVE AMERICAN CHILD PSYCHOLOGIST WHO IS A BIKER AND NAMED HIMSELF CHIEF HELL YES I’M HERE FOR THAT AND BIKERS BEING BAD ASS TO PROTECT KIDS. HELL YEAH.

[birdungehrl]

it’s back! I will always reblog BACA

[your-uncle-dave]

Damn good people.

[rowsdower-saves-us]

I know they wouldn’t consider themselves such, but these people are freaking heroes and the world is a better place because of them. 

[racethewind10]

Hey folks, it talks about this in the article but its not mentioned in this post, BACA is a 501 © (3) charity that depends in part on donations to help pay for stuff like gas for their bikes. If you want to help, consider donating. 

[drgaellon]

@copperbadge You like posting about heroes, Sam. Seems like this would be up your alley.

[copperbadge]

I love these folks! I’ve reblogged them before but it’s wonderful to see the donation information has been added. 

[galaxy-of-stories]

Always reblog. Keep doing what you’re doing y'all.

[hurtlittleboy]

Guys? This post changed my life. I saw this post. Forever ago. And thought it was only in america… and wished desperately that they could help me. But then I saw it again, during a bad episode, and checked their site. They aren’t just in the USA

They’re in Canada as well and probably other countries. I met and talked with a native guy who runs the place near me. His name is Shaman. I got in, and I’m considered a BACA child now. Despite being 17, turning 18 when I talked to them. They spent time with me when my abuser was over, they gave me therapy resources. They give you something called a ‘level 1′ where they go to your house with as many bikers as they can, i shit you not a solid 20-40 bikers came from even out of province, and met me. I got to choose my biker name and I got a vest with patches on it and my name on it. They all hugged a Teddybear before giving it to me, and told me if I ever felt the BACA bear was running out of love, to give them a call and they’d refill it for me, and then I got a ride on one of their bikes. Just a day or so ago I went to an annual party with them and they we ate food one of them cooked and had a lot of laughs. 

I’ve never felt as loved as I did being a part of the BACA family. They also gave me dog tags with the names, and phone numbers of my 2 workers.  So I can call them whenever I feel scared. 

BACA is an absolutely wonderful group that will do everything in it’s power to help any child whos been abused. 

And it doesn’t end when you’re 18 either. As long as you get in contact/get your level 1 before you’re 18? you’re ALWAYS a BACA kid. I’m 18 now and they still invite me to parties, ask me if I’m okay, and are there for me. They’re still trying to find me resources for therapy. 

BACA has changed my fucking life. 

I hope you all can read this, and reblog it knowing from someone who fucking been with them, that they are absolutely amazing.

If I ever don’t reblog this, it’s because I am physically being restrained against my will.

Had seen this before, but never realised that this is on an international level - there’s even a contact address close to where I live (in Germany), very cool (though hoping the only use I’ll ever have to make of it is for donations) ❤

btw you're allowed to enjoy two differing interpretations of the same character and you don't have to justify why you like it to anyone. you can like your evil character to be malicious and serious and you can like depicting them as a silly goober. you can enjoy seeing people draw two characters in all sorts of different contexts and dynamics without having to pick one over the other. you don't have to come up with a complex reason. you don't have to explain yourself to anyone. you can like a character multiple ways without having to justify why it's not problematic or why it's not weird. do what you want. it's fandom, not a testimony before the court.

The Big House flaming in the distance

[qapor]

imagine:

leo arguing back to hera, like he is not treating her with respect that one should with a literal goddess because all he can see is his tia and nanny who took care of him when he was kid and who harasses him in his dreams(hc)

everyone is expecting him to get smited or atleast cursed but she just. lets him pass. threatening him but never actually acting on it

also:

leo forgetting that apollo is a whole god and not just a family friend that just stays and vists his house sometimes

he’s like ‘oh this? Me and apollo made each other friendship bracelets :)’ and the new campers(or just campers) are just ‘did you just say apollo….?’ or smth alike to that

[reallyleonardovaldez]

this might low-key be canon because leo wasn’t really taught how to be with gods, at least it seems like it

percy and annabeth, while sassy, both respect the gods because they know what they can do. same goes for frank and hazel, plus jason, all romans who, as we know, hold the gods in great respect. with piper, the same can be told as before, sassy, but ultimately respectful

even if they have issues with certain gods, they manage to be respectful, especially to their parents

and then you have leo who, if not for the child sensors, im 100% sure would’ve called hephaestus a deadbeat or worse. but looking back on the books and his first interaction with his father, he practically did

[cabin9sblog]

To be fair, Hera is his grandma.

[livlocus]

do you think that thalia and jason grace are famous in true crime circles? they're the children of an actress who both went missing at some point only to show up again so i'm assuming the tabloids went wild with them.

actress beryl grace has two kids out of wedlock but then all of a sudden beryl doesn't have her two-year-old son anymore and its just her and her older daughter. and then all of a sudden both of beryl grace's children are missing.

did people think that they died? did tabloids think they were kidnapped?

then all of a sudden her oldest daughter reapears and she's seen hanging out with the kid from nyc who blew up the gateway arch??

oh ! and now that two-year-old son of hers is fifteen and has been seen with the same kid from nyc, running around the country and was in a wilderness boarding school with the daughter of actor tristan mclean?? but then after a few months a couple of tabloids hear that he went to an all-boys boarding school only to "die in a surfing accident," even though all of his classmates say they don't remember him ever mentioning anything about surfing? in fact, his classmates don't even know that much about him.

are there blogs about the grace siblings? do people wonder about the trajedy of the grace siblings and their mother?

is there a dateline episode about the disappearances of the grace siblings? have people written books about how both of beryl grace's children have dispeared? how someone saw beryl walk to a park with two kids and then walk away with only one?

[somewhereincairparavel]

i can see MULTIPLE ppl doing "the conspiracy of beryl grace's children" reddit posts and each theory in the subreddit threads get wilder and wilder and thalia and jason are just casually existing having no idea it exists

[cabin9sblog]

Leo gets recruited

Leo: If I say yes am I joining a cult? Annabeth: Possibly. Leo: I’m in.
