BACA Australia

Hi Guys ya might all rmemeber me as BaldyPete, I started an Orginisation in Australia where we Formed a Groups of Riders around Australia and called ourself the Bikers united Against Child Abuse, I am from Queensland Australia and so far we have not only raised the awareness of kids who have to live in fear but we have raised money for an orginisation called bravehearts that helps care for abused Kids, Now though we are only small, about 30 members australia wide, we have been infected with a member who has been hell bent since day one of trying to control our club His name is Spook, you should remember him as the guy who came here to tell why you should support us this is what he did back then to you all http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/ar...hp/t-1842.html Now this guy has convinced all around him to abandon our club and to form another clun based on the American Bikers Against Child Abuse, He has done this by using trolling methods on the internet to make us Queenslanders lookin real stupid with edited messages and by spreading false stories, Spook lives in adelaide and formed his chapter in feb 2004, his very first mission was to build a club house with funds given towards abused children, he had a freind of his write him up a constitution to include the wordings that if any chapter was to fold that all funds and property held by that chapter be transfered to their preferred charity, in this case all funds have been used to build the BACA, The BACA are a good group of Bikers from the USA, and we have been told that soon we are going to be told to remove our badges as they conflict with their badges, I want to warn anyone who may have been asked by this fraudster that he is not who he says he is cept nothing but a little man who sits behind a ketboard gaining everyones confidence and then forces them to do what he says or hits them with a tirade of false allegations trolling editing etc....BACA america have always been seen to help abused children and now they have entered Australia on the back of a con man and its a sad day for us Bikers who really do get out there and help raise the Awareness, Thansk for listening to what I have had to say, I needed to do this here as In Australia when you type in BUACA the third link comes directly to all the shit this dog caused here......................You can view some of the ventures our chapter has been invloved with here....All the best.....BaldyPete

Hey thanks for this. I think we all spotted this guy for who he was fairly quickly, and it is good to see that there is actually some integrity in this particular field of charity.

Best of luck with your endeavours, and with any luck 'Spook" will make a couple of mistakes that bite back.

Cheers

Sorry to hear this mate.
Having had personal contact with spook,I have to say I'm not suprised.
You guys up there keep up your good work,it's about kids not club houses.
All the best,
Jack.

You say that they are using funds supposed to be for the children, for their own clubrooms? A clear own agenda there, are they helping ANY children at all? As for as being told to remove badges, tell them to pull their head in. As your supposingly working for the children, then I would have thought that the more people involved the better. Oh and most people here will recognise a troll and if someone like that should arrive, I'm sure he/she will not last long.

Well I have just read through spook's thread and its very clear that he has at the very least a attitude problem, enough so to mave me aviod his organisation.
I work in a psychiatric ward, hence see the ongoing effect of what we all want to avoid. Don't quite know how spook plans to do that the way he has carried on in the past.
Now I do have a question, does it matter what you ride? A bike is a bike and I get the feeling that the spook clan will only accept HD?, not sure on that either, what about your clan? Oh and I cannot make up my mind if your trolling is on par yet as the thread is very new. But I do see the same elements in this thread that you complain about spook also.
One thing I do know though, CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME, in our own country.

If this is called trolling then im doin it, reason being is that a good idea was had and then was taken apart from someone who felt the need to change it to suit them selves, yes Charity begins at home and good for you as Im sure you guys know whats best for you, The Patron of my club is Hetty Johnston who is one of Australia's leading child abuse advocates, I believe every country could use the sevices of their Bikers to help raise the awareness that some children do have to live in fear, we as parents granparents step parents can mingle our love of riding with raising the awarness as well as raisng funds, Just last week me and my members had a stall at the Vietnam veterans clubhouse where we not only sold some Tshirts badges etc but we also showed others that it can be real fun gettin out and about with our club as well as raising the awareness......One of our problems is that those that tore away from us are seeing what the club can do for them rather than what they can do for abused children......
We only raised $300 for this day out but that will pay for 3 hours counselling for an abused child.......and we didnt have to sell any grog to get it........

BUACA returns... Just when I thought it was safe to go back into the water.

Funny how buoyancy is inversely proportional to the depth of water you're in.
