BACA respond to children in crisis

Bikers Against Child Abuse, Inc. (B.A.C.A.) exists with the intent to create a safer environment for abused children. Their aim as a body of Bikers is to empower children to not feel afraid of the world in which they live. They work in conjunction with local and state officials who are already in place to protect children. B.A.C.A. desire to send a clear message to all involved with the abused child that this child is part of their organization, and that they are prepared to lend their physical and emotional support to them by affiliation, and their physical presence.

In order to receive assistance from B.A.C.A., a case has to be reported to the Police or the Child Protection Services beforehand.
