Bikers Against Child Abuse

This is awesome and, unfortunately, something I am only just now hearing about so I HAD to share with the world...

Bikers Against Child Abuse:
"Bikers Against Child Abuse (B.A.C.A.) 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 of the world in which they live. We stand ready to lend support to our wounded friends by involving them with an established, united organization. We work in conjunction with local and state officials who are already in place to protect children. We desire to send a clear message to all involved with the abused child that this child is part of our organization, and that we are prepared to lend our physical and emotional support to them by affiliation, and our physical presence. We stand at the ready to shield these children from further abuse. We do not condone the use of violence or physical force in any manner, however, if circumstances arise such that we are the only obstacle preventing a child from further abuse, we stand ready to be that obstacle." (taken from their Facebook page HERE)

"...a group whose sole mission is to empower children who have been victimized. Dressed in leather, the rough looking group stood guard at her house 24 hours until she felt safe. The experience changed the course of her life." - Yahoo!  Yahoo article HERE

If only ALL bikers in the country would join this fantastic group, maybe more children will become empowered and less victimized!  Please "like" their page and "share" with all of your biker friends!!!

Parents Brutally Beat 7 Year Old Son with Metal Pipe & It's Not Their First CPS Case

Not that the gruesome details of the brutal beating or the trivial reason for what supposedly caused the mother and step-father to beat this poor child with a metal pipe are insignificant, but the most tragic sentence in this entire article is:

"According to the police report, the family has “multiple cases with CPS.”

WHEN will we learn to stop placing children back in the homes of abusive parents?!?  At some point, an abusive parent no longer deserves the opportunity to raise a child, and as much as I am not a fan of the system and people popping out babies they are not emotionally, physically, mentally, and/or financially equipped to take care of,  I am a fan of allowing a voice-less child the opportunity to grow up in a safe(r) environment than what these nutcases can provide.

Yes, there are reports of abuse in foster homes and group homes, and no, they are not all peachy, but they should at LEAST be given a chance!  If a parent has proven that they are not capable of providing a safe, nurturing environment for a child, they do not deserve to be that child's legal guardian.  Being a parent is a gift, not a right.  You do not have the right to physically harm your child, just because you are legally responsible for them.

How many more battered children or murdered children will it take before our government just accepts the fact that some parents just are not meant to be parents, and STOPS placing these poor children back in these terrifying, abusive homes???
