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.”

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.

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. 

[bowtomypointlesswords]

This is truly amazing, I’m so glad people like this exist

Sometimes It Takes All You've Got.

Sometimes It Takes All You’ve Got.

Everyone grieves differently.  Some rage and storm, some weep silently.  Others avoid it altogether, choosing instead to shove it all down inside and try to forget.  I will never, ever forget.

Humperdink came into our lives by a series of coincidences and a couple of very special people, Chris and Valina Hamilton.  On June 23, 2011, Chris posted a First ever photo of Humperdinkof Humperdink on…

This One is Embarrassing, Guys.

This One is Embarrassing, Guys.

This one is embarrassing, guys.  I don’t want to tell anyone what happened, but My Mom says that lots of people get watery faced when they think about me, so the nice thing to do is to tell the people that love me about what is going on in my life sometimes.

Last Thursday, I woke up and had to go potty really bad, guys.  Number 1.  I climbed through my little door to go outside and it was so cold…

Cancer, Schmancer. That’s What I Say.

My Mom says lots of people have been asking about me.  I forgot I was super popular, guys!  I need to get better at talking to all my best best fans.

Since the last time I talked to all you guys, lots of stuff has happened to me.  And I am going to tell you right now, I feel seventeen thousand times better than I did last time I talked to you, so everyone can just stop crying now.

Today, we took our sweet Humperdink to see a Veterinary Oncologist.  First of all, I didn’t even know this was a thing.  Apparently, my brain did not want to believe that so many dogs get cancer that there would be a need for vets that specialize in its treatment.

Hey guys, it’s me, Dinky. I bet you guys thought I wasn’t going to be back because of the dumb cancer. Well, you were wrong!  I told you I was super strong and I was going to beat it up, just like my Uncle Adam did.

So, here’s what happened after the last time I talked to you guys.  After my Mom and Daddy stopped with the watery face sad dog stuff – FINALLY – they woke me up and we went to the…

I’m Still Super Handsome.

Hey guys, what’s up?  So, last week my Mom gave me a haircut.  It was really bad, guys.  I was super embarrassed.  But she said I was too poofy and it was making me too itchy, so she had to do it (I don’t know why she didn’t take me to see my friend Axel, he’s super good at haircuts).

So it turns out that when my Mom cut my hair, she saw that I was super skinny. She got pretty worried (I’m super…

"It is so. It cannot be otherwise." - Inscription on ruins of 15th Century cathedral in Amsterdam

“It is so. It cannot be otherwise.” – Inscription on ruins of 15th Century cathedral in Amsterdam

I agree wholeheartedly with this sentiment.  It seems as though we humans just love to fight against that simplest of ideas.  As my friend Will likes to say, “Tis what it tis.” 

Right now I am coming to the end of the second week of recuperating after a surgery on my right knee.  I have had more time to think about important things in these last two weeks than I have had in the last six months,…
