The One and Only Alastor Moody (RP)

The rest of the Order seems to loathe 12 Grimmauld Place, but to Narcissa, it's like being back at her cousins' house as a young girl, only older and dustier. Walburga doesn't shriek at her as she does the other inhabitants and Kreacher is perfectly helpful. While everyone else fights the place, Narcissa exists in a familiar harmony with it . . . mostly.

"You're sure the place is free of doxies?" She's still recovering from doxy bites two weeks prior; they didn't dare bring her to her usual Healers at St. Mungo's. She curses her weak constitution in a rote sort of way - the exhaustion with it built up over sicknesses her entire life. She has her wand at the ready if they come at her again.

His magical eye roves over her arms and legs through her robes—nothing to compromise her modesty, just a quick check to ensure she’s not actively being crawled on by a doxy nor any other pest. That would be just his luck.

“What’s on your mind, Mrs. Malfoy?” Moody pours himself a cup of steaming tea and then gestures inquisitively toward Narcissa with the pot. “And would you like a cup of tea while you ask for my help with whatever has you so wound up?”

In court that day, the judge asked the boy, “Are you afraid?” No, the boy said.

Pipes says the judge seemed surprised, and asked, “Why not?”

Chief’s thesis was that a child who has been abused by an adult can benefit psychologically from the presence of even more intimidating adults that they know are on their side. “When we tell a child they don’t have to be afraid, they believe us,” Arizona biker Pipes told azcentral.com. “When we tell them we will be there for them, they believe us.” ( Article)

They go on runs to protect the child if they feel even the slightest threatened no matter where. If the child needs them to go on vacation with them, they do. Bikers come from across the nation to watch over and take shifts for these kids. And the best part is once you’re adopted into this family as a BACA kid, you’re always one. Even when you’re 40 and the perp gets released from jail, they’ll come meet with you and find your best options for avoiding the person and maintaining the life you’ve built for yourself. Once a BACA child, always a BACA child. In Florida, there’s 100% rate for identifying the perp based on the child’s testimony. Why? Because BACA stands with the child and supports the child so they feel comfortable enough to point out their attacker.

They’re in Canada as well and probably other countries. I met and talked with a native guy who runs the place near me. His name is Shaman. I got in, and I’m considered a BACA child now. Despite being 17, turning 18 when I talked to them. They spent time with me when my abuser was over, they gave me therapy resources. They give you something called a ‘level 1′ where they go to your house with as many bikers as they can, i shit you not a solid 20-40 bikers came from even out of province, and met me. I got to choose my biker name and I got a vest with patches on it and my name on it. They all hugged a Teddybear before giving it to me, and told me if I ever felt the BACA bear was running out of love, to give them a call and they’d refill it for me, and then I got a ride on one of their bikes. Just a day or so ago I went to an annual party with them and they we ate food one of them cooked and had a lot of laughs. 

I’ve never felt as loved as I did being a part of the BACA family. They also gave me dog tags with the names, and phone numbers of my 2 workers.  So I can call them whenever I feel scared. 

BACA is an absolutely wonderful group that will do everything in it’s power to help any child whos been abused. 

And it doesn’t end when you’re 18 either. As long as you get in contact/get your level 1 before you’re 18? you’re ALWAYS a BACA kid. I’m 18 now and they still invite me to parties, ask me if I’m okay, and are there for me. They’re still trying to find me resources for therapy. 

BACA has changed my fucking life.
