Child Abuse:
The Hidden Bruises

 

The statistics on
physical child abuse
are alarming. It
is estimated hundreds
of thousands of
children are physically
abused each year by a
parent or close relative.
Thousands die. For those who survive, the emotional trauma remains long after the external bruises have healed. Communities and the courts recognize that these emotional “hidden bruises” can be treated. Early recognition and treatment is important to minimize the long term effect of physical abuse.

About Us
The Original Pennsylvania
B.A.C.A., INC
Founded in 1987
Bucks County Chapter
Incorporated in 2006
Brian "Space" Dungan, while on a run in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, decided that there should be a Biker Charity for Children.
Thus from that cold PA November run was born the FIRST actual Charity for Children founded and operated by Bikers. B.A.C.A., Inc. is a registered non-profit
Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Group founded in 1987 and incorporated in 1988 with chapters and representatives in several states.
 
B.A.C.A. of Bucks County, PA., Inc. strives to create a safer environment for children who have been neglected or abused, by providing physical and emotional support for both the child and the family.  We work with local and state officials and agencies to serve and protect these children and tirelessly campaign to prevent all types of abuse of children before it starts.
 
Examples of this are...
 
Attending Trials and Court Hearings. We arrive at the courthouse in person and in force in support of the child and give emotional support.
 
We provide monetary gifts to families of child abuse victims.
We give educational presentations in schools and at community events relating to the prevention of child abuse and internet safety for kids.
 
We participate in events and toy runs organized by other well-known clubs and organizations to support their missions.
 
We work with our local police departments by participating in community awareness events and we hold fund-raisers to enable us to give financial support to abuse victims.
