Punishers Motorcycle Club Escorts Bullied 7-Year-Old Girl To School

Members of the Punishers Motorcycle Club in Toledo, Ohio, came to the aid of a bullied 7-year-old girl by escorting her to school to show the bullies that it is not nice to mess with others.

Audrianna Reynolds, 7, has been bullied for over a year at school, and it was impacting her at school and at home. Audrianna is a tomboy that loves to ride dirt bikes and loves motorcycles. It is thought that the reason for her bullying is that she does not act like the typical little girl. However, instead of trying to change her behaviors, Audrianna’s mother decided to embrace her differences and connect her with the Punishers Motorcycle Club, whose members consist of law enforcement members, according to WNDU.

“It could be part of it that she is a tomboy, but who knows.”

Audrianna’s mother introduced her to the Punishers Motorcycle Club, and they immediately formed a bond. Daniel Bushey, the president of the Punishers, knew that they had to help Audrianna in some way.

“The first thing we thought of was trying to help her in any way we could.”

In an effort to boost Audrianna’s confidence, according to Fox 8 Cleveland, The Punishers Motorcycle Club inducted her into their family and presented her with a vest, reassuring her that they are there for her whenever she needs help.

“We got her a vest and told her to think of us like her uncles, and she is part of our family now and if she needs anything let us know.”

In addition to simply reassuring her that they would protect her from bullies, the Punishers Motorcycle Club decided to send a peaceful message to those that hurt Audrianna by giving her a motorcycle ride to school. It was not simply a ride on the back of a motorcycle, but a full escort comprised of first responders and service members.

Audrianna’s mother is thankful for the support that the Punishers Motorcycle Club has given her daughter and hopes she understands that most people in the world are not like her bullies.

“We were just trying to uplift her spirits and let her know that not everybody is mean and there are plenty of nice people in the world. The guys have really done a wonderful job at helping us.”

Bushey was excited to help Audrianna and give her the confidence boost she needed.

“Any chance we get we help kids out, we do in a heartbeat.”

Although there is no guarantee that the bullies will stop being mean to Audrianna, the hope is that the message gets across that she is no longer the odd little tomboy that they picked on and will cause them to think twice about hurting her again, whether mentally or physically.

In addition, the Punishers Motorcycle Club and Audrianna’s mother hope that she will have the confidence to report any further bullying and stop the vicious cycle that so often hinders children from being productive and interacting with other children their age.

The Punishers Motorcycle Club is more than just a gang of bikers, but instead a group of like minded individuals that hope to reduce the negative stigma surrounding bikers and use their influence to help others in need. As members of law enforcement, they have the ability to spread their influence beyond when they are in uniform and help the public in other manners than just responding to crimes.
