Bikers Stormed Into A Neighborhood Looking For A Bullied Teen, What Happened Next Is…

Uncategorized

There are plenty of tales of scruffy outlaw bikers trekking across the country on drug-fueled runs. But the majority of bikers are gentle giants, and one kid found that out firsthand.

If you were an outcast in school, you know how hard it was on a day-to-day basis. Not having a group of friends to join made lunch, recess, and pretty much everything else a struggle.

For Phil Mick, an 11-year-old in DeKalb, Indiana, not only did he not have many friends, he was also being physically abused by bullies at school. His mother, Tammy, was worried and mentioned that her son once even contemplated suicide.

So She called James R. Watson Elementary School immediately to voice her concerns. But she said the administration brushed it off.

Steve Teders, superintendent of DeKalb Central Schools, said he can’t comment on a student’s personal information but said the district takes bullying matters seriously.

“Communication is key. We want to obviously work with parents,” Teders said. “We have specific programs and lessons that are taught … to help curb bullying and bullying behavior.”

However, when Brent Warfield, who works at a motorcycle shop near Tammy, heard about the situation, he called on the United Motorcycle Enthusiasts, a group that organizes charity rides, to step in.

According to Fox59, Warfield is the director of the group, and he wrote on Facebook that he was organizing a special ride to support Phil on his first day as a sixth grader.

In an overwhelming show of compassion and love, a massive group of bikers showed up in support of Phil and escorted him to school. Videos and photos from the ride show a mass of motorcycles and bikers.

Phil hopped on the back of a bike for his first motorcycle ride, and the group, resplendent on their Harleys and in their leather jackets, thundered down the street.

The glorious growl of 50 big bike engines reverberated off the brick walls of DeKalb Middle School as they pulled up, sending a message no one could miss.

On Facebook, Warfield wrote, “The Motorcycle Community has come together to help stand up against bullying and show our support for those that are getting bullied.”

Warfield said the work isn’t over. The Indiana motorcyclists have organized a suicide awareness and teen bullying ride scheduled for late September. Phil plans to speak at the event.

As for Phil, he hasn’t stopped smiling, his mother said. He told her, she said, that “he has new brothers and sisters watching over him.”
