A member of a motorcycle club founded to protect children fails his mission in the worst possible way... but he still has a promise to keep.
“Who knows the Levels of Intervention? What is a Level 1? That is when we ride to a child's house as a group to introduce ourselves and formally make them a part of our family. Level 2 is when the child contacts us because they remain fearful of continued victimization, and that is when we camp out on the child's lawn 24/7 until they feel safe again. If the perp continues to contact the child, Level 3 is when the chapter President drafts a letter to the perp on Protectors of the Children letterhead, explaining that the child is under our protection and what that means. If that letter fails to correct the situation, a Level 4 is a “Community Awareness Ride,” where we ride through the perp's neighborhood to knock on doors, letting people know that there is a predator in their community and educating them about what we do to help empower abused children to feel safe in the world in which they live. Does anyone know what a Level 5 is? That's right, there's no such thing as a Level 5. We are not vigilantes and neither condone nor engage in violence, but if we are the only thing standing between a child and further abuse, we are prepared to be that obstacle. One hundred percent commitment.”
