In the United States, biker groups fighting against school bullying are increasing. Major, 8 years old, was a victim. At the request of his family, the gang came to escort him to school, on the back of Flash’s motorcycle, the leader of the group.
Rings on their fingers and leather jackets, a group of bikers are preparing to take a little boy to school in the United States. Major, 8 years old, was harassed by other students in his school. His family contacted the gang for support. “It’s so important, because Major went through some tough times. And now he’s starting to get better. He’s so great. I’m very proud of him.”, says his aunt, Darielle Kinloch. The motorcycles go around the neighborhood, as if to show that Major is well protected.
“Show children that they are not alone”
Once he arrives in front of the primary school, under the eyes of his classmates and teachers, the little boy is escorted by Flash, the gang leader. “It’s very important to show children that they are not alone. We create respect when we accompany them to the door (…). And then it also allows us to show others that they are with us”, he explains. A single father of two, he started this group in 2012. He and his biker friends are now present all over the country.
