BIKERS AGAINST CHILD ABUSE
Bikers Against Child Abuse, or BACA, is an international non-profit organization of motorcycle riders that provides aid, comfort, safety, and support for children who have been sexually, physically, and emotionally abused. BACA works with law enforcement and the courts to give an extra layer of support for abused children by having members attend the children’s court proceedings, and if necessary, escorting them to and from school and on errands, and by just being a friend. Prospective members of BACA must pass background checks with no abusive or violent crimes against children. Funds raised by BACA are used to help abused children participate in activities such as self-defense classes, Little League, art and dance classes, and counseling, if necessary.
