I heard that in Austin TX, there is a group of motorcycle people who are interested in helping abused kids as well.

How do they do that?

Well in many ways, but one way is this.

Say a kid has to go to court to testify against a perp. And say the kid might have some fear issues about confronting said perp.

These folks show up en masse with the kid and all of sudden the kid isn’t so afraid any more.

They have a catchy name but I’ve forgotten what it is.

Every weekend in my area, some huge horde of bikers or other is riding for critters, kids, sick folks with heavy hospital bills to pay and every other benefit imaginable.

There have been 3 runs to benefit the SPCA in just the last 45 days.

This weekend [I think] is a run to benefit a local “troubled boys” home.

This stuff is the rule; not the exception.

Best, biggest-hearted people in the world.

Once in a while, the local “newspaper” even bothers to report about what they’ve done/are doing.

There are several biker organizations involving abused kids.
Perhaps this one is what you’re referring to:

God bless those big, hairy dark avenging angels.

If they’d been around when I was a kid, maybe I wouldn’t be so messed up now.

Google says it's Austin Chapter of B.A.C.A. (Bikers Against Child Abuse).

BACA — Bikers Against Child Abuse.

They aren’t just in Texas. I’ve never seen such a group of “bad a$$” looking folks who are so gentle.

I think the group is BACA (Bikers Against Child Abuse) - my dad’s a member here in CT.
