Fish Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 This rings home to me about the un-sung hero's of the rough tough biker chapters. Yes there is the bad side but there's many many good guys n girls out there, who support the locla community with things like the teddybear and christmas runs they do.

Tiggie Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I saw the American one years ago, thought it was a great idea. Especially all of them standing in the courtroom with the child so they wouldn't feel intimidated by the abuser. Hopefully it scares shit out of the abuser too 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I'd be interested to know how they screen referrals. I've worked to tackle people who have committed abuse and also had to support those who are the victims of false allegations. Either way lives get destroyed and you have to be very very careful about taking sides. It is important work being a champion for those who need support. There are those already doing this in unseen and unsung ways. I had a letter only recently from someone who has a family, a job and a home, things most of us take for granted, but something they never thought they would ever have until someone stood by their side and listened to their story. Many years later they just wanted to say how that support had made a new future possible for them. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husoi Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 I've seen quite a few clips and they explain that their aim is only the kid and nothing to do with anybody else. There is an interview where they explain that screening is done by an expert on referral. But the aim is empowering the child and assure them that they don't need to be afraid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think they are as well known as in the US. One more reason to join Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
