B.A.C.A. and the other groups below stand beside a frightened child until the fear goes away — in the home, in the courtroom, and every day in between. Browse them, then send one request. You never have to tell the story twice; DBATR writes the introduction, attaches what is needed, and follows up until a human answers.
If a child is in danger right now, call local emergency services first. These allies stand with a child through everything that comes after — they are not a substitute for an emergency response.

Bikers Against Child Abuse (B.A.C.A.)
Global · Chapters across the U.S. plus Canada, Australia, and much of Europe
Escort & presence
Volunteers who stand beside an abused child so the child stops feeling afraid. They ride to the home, sit in the courtroom, and stay reachable by the child directly — for as long as the child wants them there.
How to ask: A referral usually comes from a parent, guardian, therapist, caseworker, or law enforcement, with the case already reported. Ask for the chapter nearest the child and expect a screening conversation first.
National Children's Alliance / Children's Advocacy Centers
North America · 900+ accredited centers across every U.S. state
Court support
One child-friendly place where the forensic interview, medical exam, therapy, and prosecutor coordination happen together, so a child is not questioned five different times.
How to ask: Ask DBATR for the accredited center covering your county; a caseworker, detective, or prosecutor can open the referral.
North America · 900+ U.S. programs serving family and dependency courts
Court support
A trained volunteer assigned by the judge to one child, who visits, learns the whole picture, and reports to the court on what the child actually needs.
How to ask: Request appointment through the judge or your attorney at the next hearing; DBATR drafts the request language for you.
UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights
Global · Every UN member state, with country and regional offices
Human rights
Receives individual complaints and urgent appeals, runs the Special Procedures and Special Rapporteurs, and monitors treaty compliance — including the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
How to ask: Submit through the Special Procedures complaint form with dates, documents, and what remedy is being asked for. DBATR assembles the chronology and sources every claim.
Field investigation and reporting that moves courts, legislatures, and press — children in custody, family separation, disability and medical neglect, and criminal-justice abuses.
How to ask: Send a short factual summary with documents to the relevant program. They choose cases that expose a system, so lead with the pattern.
North America · United States, with global campaigns
Animal rights
Anti-cruelty investigations, animal rescue operations, legislative advocacy, and resources for keeping pets with their families.
How to ask: Use the cruelty tip line or state director contact. For pet retention help, ask for the Pets for Life or emergency veterinary assistance program.
Legal advocacy for animals: litigation, criminal justice support, model laws, and the Animal Law Institute.
How to ask: Submit a legal complaint or request a referral through the online intake. They do not represent individual civil plaintiffs but can point you to animal-law attorneys.
Every ally listed here helps children and families for free. If anyone on this page ever asks a family for money, tell DBATR and the listing comes down.
We make the ask with you
You do not have to explain the worst days of your life over and over. Send one request and DBATR writes the introduction, attaches what is needed, and follows up until a human answers.
Consent, not surveillance
Nothing about a child is shared with an ally unless you check the box. No secret files, no background digging, no data sold. Ever.
Children and deadlines first
Requests naming a child at risk or a court date jump to the top of the queue, ahead of everything else on the platform.
Add an organization
Name a group that protects children anywhere 💎. DBATR writes the olive-branch letter to them and queues the same introduction for every similar-mission ally worldwide — automatically, no asking.
Request help
Anyone in need can use this — a parent, a grandparent, a caregiver, a neighbor, a teacher, or the young person themselves. Share only what you want to share.
