This is one of the strangest and coolest news articles I’ve seen lately.

Bikers Against Child Abuse make abuse victims feel safe.

Apparently there’s an organization of tough motorcycle riders who help kids who’ve been abused. The bikers will do stuff like stand guard over the house if the kid is having nightmares, or walk with the kid if s/he has to testify in court. It’s a little like Big Brothers/Big Sisters combined with a personal bodyguard. As one of the bikers put it, “The kind of people who abuse kids are more scared of bikers than they are of cops.” All the bikers go through a background check, and they’re never alone with the kids.

Seriously, check this out. If I’d written this into a story, no one would ever have believed me.
