Breaking the chains of child abuse By Ryan Whitecar News Writer The clamor of the roaring engine echoed as a bearded, leather-clad man pulled into the courtyard on his Harley Davidson motorcycle. On his back, a massive black and red patch of a clenched fist reads "Bikers Against Child Abuse." In conjunction with the Clothesline Project, four speakers from the Utah County chapter of BACA addressed university students in the University Courtyard on Wednesday, Oct. 20. The nonprofit organization was founded 16 years ago by J.P. Lilly, a social worker, child-play therapist and motorcycle enthusiast. Known to members by his road name "Chief," Lilly founded the organization when he realized that the progress made in his office was quickly CLOTHESLINE from Al The shirts display hope and heartache. The stories they tell are about real people. They are intense, disturbing, painful and hate driven while being filled with beauty, love and healing. ( £ Somber and ominous feelings; can't believe howcommon it is. Makes me angry. When I pictured abuse, I never pictured little children. 5 J -Katie James They are written by survivors or families and friends of victims of abuse. There are over 1,000 shirts stored for the UVU project with 90 to 120 created each year. "For all da girls wno have been hurt it's not your fault you are beautiful you are a daugther of God," reads one shirt. Different colored shirts have different meanings. White shirts represent men and women who have died from violence. Yellow shirts are for survivors of physical assault. Red, pink and orange represent rape or sexual assault. Blue or green shirts are for survivors of incest or childhood abuse. "You are still the monster under my bed," reads one of the shirts about a childhood rape. Purple or lavender represent those attacked for their sexual orientation. Black is for people who became disabled as a result of an destroyed by child abusers. "He came up with the idea to call on some of his brothers and sisters to lend a hand," says a member named "Ogre," one of the founding members of the Utah chapter. "They decided to use the leather and their tough image to put the fear of God into those child abuse perpetrators." Bikers Against Child Abuse, which since 1994 has expanded internationally into three continents and over 1,100 chapters, exists with the intent to create a safer environment for abused children and seek to empower children to not feel afraid of thfi world in which they live. Roger White, the chapter's Child Liaison, explained how the process works. "When a child feels threatened by their environment, their family contacts us," he said. "We contact attack. Gray is for verbal or emotional abuse. Brown is for spiritual abuse. Every color is hanging from the clotheslines and there is no shortage of any color. "As much as we need help and healing, we need people to stop," said Sabrina Collard whp filled out a shirt for her and a shirt for her sister. "Somebody needs to stop them." Collard said that while she was making her shirt, there was a number of others doing the same thing. One of the men said he thought he was going to be the only one doing it. Another said he was wishing he would be. fifil didn't know what to expect. It shocked me; I didn't know how it affected people. People you trust can turn their back on you. There is hope and heartache depending on the shirt. You feel like you want to help but don't know how. 9 J -Sandra Snow The sounds of a gong, a whistle and a bell represent reported abuse stats in real time. The gong was struck every 10 to 12 seconds for a women battered in the United States. The whistle blew each minute signaling a reported rape, though the family of the abused, then the BACA chapter organizes a ride to their home." They introduce themselves to the abused child, and "adopt them into the BACA family " White said. The children are also given a vest with the BACA patch sewn on the back, amongst other gifts meant to help the child feel comfortable and protected by the members. The Chapter President, Joe Piche\ explains the most important level of intervention. "We go to court with them. ... We help empower the child to be able to stand up there and face their abuser and have him taken care of by the justice system," he said. "We stand ready to be the last obstacle to prevent further abuse. None of us will shy away from that responsibility" most rapes are not reported in America. The bell sounds 3 to 4 times a day and indicates how often a women is killed in a violent attack. "It's a poignant and an overwhelming feeling" said Ben Turtle, a UVU student. When asked about the most shocking part he replied, "Just the gong." Hilari Bloomfield, a freshman, was brought to tears when talking about her experience, especially regarding how long people have had to live with the burden. The people that attend for the first time generally see more heartache. The volunteers who run the event view more of it as hope. Three of the volunteers, Syndee Seeley, Katie Salmon and Mindy Steadman, told a story of a big man that came in to do a shirt and as he left he said, crying, "This is the most freeing thing I've done." Jennie Briggs is the director of the equity in education center and has been involved in the Clothesline Project since 2006, when she made her first shirt. "I am honored to be able to be a part of it and awed by brave people that make shirts/' Briggs said. One volunteer, when asked whether she saw heartache or hope, answered with a smile, "Hope."
