"BACA" stands for Bikers Against Child Abuse. BACA is an organization, or corporation, not to be confused with a motorcycle club, whose impact statement reads, "No child deserves to live in fear!" BACA is much more than a group that gets together to ride motorcycles. BACA members' sole purpose is to do all they can to create a safer environment for abused children, according to Tyson "The Kidd" Hamilton, BACA's Utah State President. BACA members are ready at any time and any place to support children who have been abused. Members work with local law enforcement and other officials to protect children from further abuse. They consider children to be a part of their organization. They form friendships with the children to let them know they have someone in their corner, even if it's just a few bikers. The children they empower get to choose their own road name when they receive a vest with a kids' patch on the back that states "empowered." Members of BACA will attend court, visit families where they feel safe, and respond to the child's needs when they are in fear. Although BACA members don't condone violence or physical force, they are always prepared to protect abused children from further abuse. "We go to court with children, because when they are testifying, they're scared," Hamilton explained. "We give kids support at their homes 365 days a year, 24/7. If they call us at 2 a.m. and they're scared, we are going to respond. We are going to help that child."
