baca
i'm a pbs junkie. i'll admit it. no, i don't watch antique roadshow (often). but i do love nature, nova, and bob ross.
every once in a while, they have these documentaries that aren't part of their regular line-up.
this particular one that i'm in the middle of right now is about love.
they have rabbis and doctors and psychologists and reverends say a piece about love, and then they have an example. there was a family where the mom raised three boys by herself and then they all were deployed to iraq.
then more opinion on love by some smart people or some think tank members...
and then this example...

Bikers Against Child Abuse
every member i saw was your typical biker.
pony tails
tattoos
leather vests
fu man chu mustaches
you get the idea.
but most of them were abused as children, also. they had one guy they were interviewing and he was narrating a story of a baca adoption.
there was a girl who was about 13 years old. she had been experimenting with drugs and alcohol. she was brave enough to be in this interview and said that once she started using, her mind wasn't clear and she just kept using more.
then one day some older boys (i'm guessing post high school from the sound of it) propositioned her and took her to a hotel and, in her own words, "sexually harassed" her.
somewhere in here, baca got the call.
a guy that goes by the name of "torque" is the president. he had flyers made up (they looked really good!) and literally dozens of bikers saddled up and covered the neighborhood where there was a lot of prostitution and drug use that was the last known whereabouts of this girl. they rode to every gas station, hotel, park, and basically any public place handing out the flyers.
eventually, they found her sitting on a curb crying. the documentary showed torque at the actual curb with his bike where they found "daredevil."
that's her nickname because she got adopted into a new family (the one she came from was abusive) and baca gave her a vest with a warning patch on the back. they gave her a teddy bear that every member of this particular chapter hugged. and they gave her a family.
see, she was lost and then baca saved her life. those are her words. and no one messes with a baca child (that's what the patch says). her past doesn't matter. these people left work, stopped cleaning the house, skipped softball games... they dropped what they were doing to ride all night long to find one lost child.
her new nickname is her new identity with her new family and her brothers and sisters are the community of baca members. she used to be one person, but now she's changed. she's a whole new person.
thanks to the love of one group of bikers, someone can experience salvation.
