BROKEN ARROW, Okla. — The local chapter of Bikers Against Child Abuse (BACA) was out in Broken Arrow Saturday, collecting donations and making the community aware of the work they do.
The group was at the southwest corner of Houston and Aspen, near Westlake Ace Hardware, Saturday afternoon.
FOX23 spoke to two BACA members, Scooter and Skoop, about the group and what they do.
“Bikers Against Child Abuse, BACA, exists with the intent to create a safer environment for abused children. We exist as a body of Bikers to empower children to not feel afraid in the world in which they live. We stand ready to lend support to our wounded friends by involving them with an established, united organization,” Scooter said, reading out loud from BACA’s mission statement.
Skoop said some of the work they do includes staying in a child’s yard if their suspected abuser is still out there, to help the child feel safe.
Skoop advises people to listen to their kids, look for the signs of child abuse, and to report child abuse if you suspect it.
“Listen to your children, all the clues are there, whether you want to see them or not, you got to listen to your kids,” Skoop said.
Skoop said they couldn’t do the work they do without the community’s help, and they plan to hold the event again in the future.
