When children get the support they need they can help themselves to accomplish their goals. But for victims of abuse and neglect, the right support remains elusive.

To provide that support, one group of bikers has banded together to form Bikers Against Child Abuse. The nationwide group lives by one motto: no child deserves to live in fear. Two BACA members, Animal and Poison Ivy, join the Arizona Illustrated studio to talk about their efforts to help kids in need. Animal reveals his very personal reasons for getting involved, and the pair discuss what they do and how they encourage community support, especially to offer therapy or activities for child survivors of abuse.
