Why Did We Leave "the Organization That Shall Not Be Named?" 

As a Clinical Social Worker who works adolescent inpatient (hospital) with mostly suicidal or serious mental health cases, I completely understand the position your wife was in. It is a recipe for major burnout. Hard enough keeping your head screwed on right as it is working that kind of job, without also doing similar on your spare time. Got to take care of yourself first before you try to help anyone else.

I’ve always had the greatest respect for you two but have even more now. You’ve dedicated your lives to protect kids. There is nothing more noble.

I don’t think you owe any kind of explanation. However, as a follower of the channel I kind of was wondering. I’m not part of an organization that shall not be named but….I work an a branch of healthcare that I am constantly fighting hospitals, doctors and insurance companies to give and provide the care that people, especially the elderly, can be able to live at home and maintain a quality of life. What I’m talking about is a can of worms that requires so much conversation unless your in my world. The Healthcare system is broken. Anyway, I salute you both for your decision. That took some Avocados, all in or out. I have a funny feeling you two will be back in your organization. I can tell the passion is still there but maybe right now is not the right time. I’m still on fire for my cause because I’m single and have that luxury. I wish there was an organization in my Missouri area that addresses elderly and handicapped persons. I would be on board. God Bless!

They way you left the org. solidifies who you are in this community. You left with LOYALTY, HONOR, LOVE & RESPECT, and many still speak of you as FAMILY !!! So glad I was able to meet the two of you in Sturgis. Hope to catch you again sometime.

Thanks for everything both of you did, and continue to do, for the kids!

Question where did professional monkey name come from? and noticed your into has changed. The motor doesn't pulse anymore. Luved that, what happened . One more what part of Florida are you in? That looks like a really nice neighborhood.

Great video. Loved how you highlighted the “right way” to exit an organization. Thanks for all your efforts in supporting children. Well done!

I really appreciate you guys, I was abused as a child and was taken by cyfd here in New Mexico it was a struggle for my little self at the time but I had so much support. Ended up getting adopted and have a great forever family. I totally support BACA for what they do, and everyone else that supports and helps abandoned/abused children.

Wow! I have been watching you guys for a couple of years and knew that you did things for children but I didn't know to what extent. You 2 are truly an inspiration!

Thank you for what you did. And your wife for what she does.

Sometimes you gotta know when to say when. I never realized how hard it is to " Work The Mission" till I was doing it. I even tried to get my wife to do it but after seeing this now I know why she told me that is your thing not mine.

I just want to tell you that you inspired my husband to join baca. He's been a part of it for like 6 months now and let's just say it's a great organization. We live in Cleveland Ohio.

This is just my opinion. I think the heroes are the kids who go through that stuff. The 10 year old that gives up a better life , goes back to the parent that abused them because they are worried about the 2 younger kids. Raises them, then becomes a cop. That's my hero. Her name is Kirsten.. good vid. I could never do that sort of work/ charity.

Wow,Totally landed here by accident but your cool but your bride is cool as hell.😂We have 3 step grandkids moved in with us that I never believed the s.daughter could be involved with things she was. I understand working with kids that have been abused. I’m sure her great sense of humor got through tough times. You being a big guy I’m sure is a hit with the kids. We also were involved with Special Olympics as we have one son with CP and an adopted child with autism. You have to put your own family first. No guilt in it at all. You guys seem like the kind that should be in this work. You can get so involved with other things your own family goes to crap.What do you do live and learn.

Hey boss man, just a heads up, I'm not a member of your channel, only a subscriber and was able to view this video, not to aware of how the RU-vid subscription system works, I could be messed up, but throughout the video yall made it seem like this video was supposed to be exclusive to certain viewers.

Mmm..lot to take in there. My partner was a psychiatric nurse, a job she loved, and also secretary of North Lancs Motorcycle Trials Club (UK) She left both because of the way they were run.

I hold the most amount of respect and admiration for everyone that is affiliated with BACA. My daughter had a case, and is still being supported by her BACA folks! I love that they never left her! Thanks to you and the Lady for doing what you do!

I just retired after 25 years in law enforcement. The past 8 my job was to investigate child sexual abuse. You definitely see things that definitely cause you to lose sleep.

This outlines the reasons I have not returned to the org. It's still something I think about often and who knows, I may return as a supporter. The cause to me demands and is worth an almost 24 hour effort. Y'all are always in my thoughts.

I was a founder/president of a BACA Chapter in a Northern CA County where the services were much needed. We were well on our way to becoming a full charter when an issue arose at a State Conference. Some of the chapters in the larger metropolitan areas decided that retired and or current members of law enforcement should not be members of BACA. These chapters had been attending CofC meetings and began to be influenced by the clubs of CofC. As a retired LEO, this left a bit of a bitter taste. I respectfully left the chapter, along with a number of other members who disagreed with this type of direction for the organization. It is truly an awesome organization. It was just sad that many had lost their way and became a bite too full of themselves. I fully respect your decision and the reasons for that decision...and huge props to Mrs. Monkey for the work she does. I had been assigned to child sexual assault cases during my career... toughest cases to handle for anyone.

Thanks for the update. With a wife in the same field, I can understand this for sure. Thankyou for being transparent

Is that why you have MISSOURI BIKE TAG on the wall, Monkey a 11:08 nd Mrs. Monkey?? You have to do you, you can't help others if you can't do you!!

So I haven’t been following you much lately. But I stumbled across this video. Just got to say ms monkey. WE Appreciate you!!!! I had no idea what you did. Respect!

Thank you for showing love to law enforcement for helping when kids are going through hell. Too often the motorcycle community finds it fashionable to hate cops for no reason other than "culture". Keep in mind, a shit ton of cops ride too, so, we can get along if you want but you have to make that choice. Cops go through a ton of nasty shit on the job from seeing bikers run over by big rigs, to finding infants murdered in their carriers and discarded outside in the winter cold by their own mother who was too twacked out of her mind to realize infants cry when they're hungry and the way to make it stop is to feed it. Any way, soory for the rant, all that to say, thank you for breaking with biker culture and showing law enforcement a little love for what we deal with. ML&R

I rode around with a cruiser group for almost a year once. now I don't have a cruiser, and that may have been an undercurrent problem, but when I mentioned "you don't have to slow down to 10 mph (or more) below the posted sign" they all lost their shit. we parted ways.

It takes a special person to do what you and her have done I used to work with an organization who helped remove women and children from abusive homes. When we were no longer allowed to protect them or defend ourselves the organization had to shop

In my Law Enforcement capacity, luckily, i rarely have to encounter "kid stuff". I did recently meet a forensic nurse. I was not aware that there was a specific position that exclusively deals with what they do. Hats off. I don't think i could. But hey, now you are free to join the Outlaws MC, right? 😊

Thank you both for what you have done for the kids,You're wife is great,.I still think you are a dick! But great work for the kids!!

Will you both be updating all of your subscribers, and patrons, as to what you both will be focusing on, from this point forward?

I did not know your wife is the mother Teresa of bikers ....I knew she was too cool for school but a saint on top of that .....

I can understand leaving an organization because of being burned out. You have to focus on Family First.

Disney songs also on occasion find a dance between my wife Laura and I. Watch them all time permitting.

I somehow thought or knew that or another unsaid organization you both involved in. Great seeing you at the meet-up in SD. Impressive!

Sounds like a 24/7 365 kind of thing. Yeah, that could be quite overwhelming.

You’ve been doing good work, but it’s honorable to put your family first. You only have 18 summers to fill your child with love, and to prepare them to deal with the cruel world. As a dad with grown children, I wish I had more time to guide them, but both my boys turned out to be great man. Thank you both for your work and may God bless you

So basically she might have some ptsd from seeing all that. Might think about some therapy as an outlet

My daughter works for Hoffman Homes in Hanover, PA. Check them out

organization and politics alway become, bs and you gave decide is it worth it to …

I love your videos just found them a couple weeks ago. I went on my first bike run this summer with a couple friends luckily a couple of them had an extra bike and let me ride it for the run it was similar to what you were doing i think in a way but more of a focus on helping less fortunate kids in the county raising money for new bikes. I also bought my first Harley the end of last month and find your parts videos helpful. I'm trying to find a seat that is better then the stock softial one after about 40 miles it starts getting very uncomfortable the problem is i live out on the west coast in the middle of nowhere its a 2 hour ride to the closest Harley shop other then that i have no clue where to get a new seat other then online but then i might end up going through several seats before i find one that works and that looks expensive from what i have found. also would like to ask if you have any thoughts on how i would get the older V-twin cam lop this milwaukee-8 is nice but it sound more like a Honda then a Harley feel free to direct message me if you would like

I have so much respect for you two. I was an investigator for Child Protective Services for only 1 year. I emotionally could not handle it and it interfered with my ability to perform the job so I left. You are so much stronger and amazing than I could ever be.

I think some of us knew which unnamed organization you were in. You left with jobs closed and on good terms, besides a bit of drama. You gotta do what you gotta do.

As long as you are helping the children is all that matters if you need to leave a group that takes more from you, and you are still providing great care for the kids that's all that matters

Y’all leaked things here and there. Been looking to join, but just didn’t think I had the time with kiddos of my own. Appreciate the honest information. Gonna talk with the wife and reevaluate

Hey Mr and Mrs Monkey I was wondering why you left, didn’t want to ask as I figured first it ain’t my bidness, two if you wanted us to know, you woulda said something. Thank you for the info, damn proud to be part of the Monkey family. Love ya to death.

Never let your left hand know what your right hand is doing! I know people who say do gooders are the worst and then there are those who will say oh ticket into heaven or wounded healer. So why be seen or known for it when your told in the handbook not too then a group of do gooders together how easy is that for the devil to infultrate at any level. I dunno its a funny old world but all that said its amazing what ye have dedicated your lives to and sacrificed yourselves to do.

I admire you both for all you do and continue to do for the kids. You two have very big hearts and the world could use more people like you!

God Bless you both , rolled with a nother MC ( Not to Be Named ) Much Respect to Both for your work . Hooe to see you in Daytona

Great job and nice way to do it I almost joined but my time was the same way but I would have loved to do that maybe one day but thanks for the years of doing it I'm sure the kids will remember you

Understand everything totally, One BACA 👊🏻

Well I knew you guys cared with alll your hearts now I have Huge respect. Being a Nurse I know the pressures and stresses of life I appreciate you both and Thank you for all you do ❤❤❤❤

Anyone who prioritizes children have a special place in heaven. In my opinion, children are the most important gem( I didn't want to say "thing") in the world. My wife and I donate to children's causes. When we were members of Ft. HOG, we were invited to Daytona for a party were we donated money to Boggy Creek. On that Sunday we were to go visit the children but I couldn't go. It was too emotional for me as I would have cried the minute I would have seen those precious children. God bless you both.

You guys are amazing. You are fighting the battle on the home front. Thanks for your videos and seeing your beautiful Motorcycles. I hope to be able to see you all at a rally and talk to you all more about this. But that's if I can get time off the army.

You left with Honor and dignity, with your head held high. That speaks a lot to your character and how serious you took your commitment. Nothing but respect for you. Keep doing what you're doing.

Hay, I'm ok with y'all doing whatever you do. I do what I can. You do what you can. Enjoy. Happy go lucky. Respect for you, for them. 💯. Thank you for sharing

I live in Indiana my son lives in Port St Lucie he met some members of The Space Coast Chapter was very impressed with the organization.

I've always had a huge respect for B.A.C.A., however, my nearest chapter is 1 1/2 hrs away. Also, I'm a regional truck driver. My time home is limited to weekends. Is there a place in the organization for people with limited time available? Reach out to me, I'd love to know more.

Thanks for letting us all know about this part of your lives. It’s clear that y’all are standup people and don’t put your egos in front of the “organization”. Props. Much love, honor, and respect. Ride safe.

I understand how it can be "so much". I'm the VP of our chapter and a former P - and I'm and investigator with Child Protective Services. My wife works for a juvenile probation office and is our agency liaison. We have to work hard to not burn out! Much love and respect from BACA Shepherd.

You really covered you back side ,with the Darling , Princes , Muffin I really enjoyed that . I am glad that you and Misses monkey can have more time together, and with the little Monkey. And May God bless and watch over you all and Keep you all safe . This is my Prayer ,Amen.

Much respect to both of you for what you've done. Definitely understand your decision.

Sorry to lose a Brother and Sister from the Mission but I understand perfectly. Stay safe and keep the rubber side down. - Kansas

I understand 💯 when it it comes to a cause like that your all in or all out but us on the sidelines can still help to keep it going

You two are how I found out about the organization and started the mission. Best thing I've ever been apart of, thank you

im with the organisation for 10 years now. and the way you two left should be a example for more people witin the organisation if you and your wife are ever in the netherlands let us know. . greetings and salutations from dutch north chapter

You made me think. . . .We don't have a chapter in Hawaii and Hawaii is like the domestic abuse capital of the United States. I would like to know more. My wife and I currently patch with a Veteran Riders group who shall remain nameless and have become disenfranchised for various reasons besides a saturation of military based clubs.

I am with a veteran group. I know what you are talking about. Been there done that that .

As a foster parent I am thankful for all of the support we get from many different parties associated with the system. There are some good people in it who have their hearts in the right place. Unfortunately the fields are ripe and the workers seem to be few and most seem maxed to capacity and the need is only growing.

God bless Mrs. Monkey for fighting the good fight and helping innocent children.

True brotherhood should not change whether you're still part of or not of an organization. However, sometimes, it doesn't always work out.

You both are awesome for doing what you do for kids. I am retired LE 32 years and every one of those cases is tough. I walked from a National Organization myself and did exactly as you. Did not seek re election and ties up all my loose ends before I departed. I miss all my brothers and sisters and some stay in tough but there are always a couple MF’s that cant stay in their Lane. I know dedicate my time to Lawmen’s MC. We raise funds and donate the monies to children’s organizations and veterans. Again thank your wife for what she doe she is a saint.

I’m an old gray goat now and been in a dominant MC for many years. BACA was my very first introduction into the “Motorcycle World” Not “club” since BACA is NOT and is an organization. But I spent 5 years in BACA. It was in its infancy then. Like you say, it’s a great “Organization” with an absolute awesome cause. I understand the training now is intense and pretty well put together. The time, travel and investment rivals that of any MC I have been in, including the 1% MC I am in now. 10-15K miles a year is NOT uncommon. I was in a chapter that has ALL 4 Seasons and we rode ALL 4 Seasons! The kids expect bikers to show up and on bikes, not in cars. I left BACA because of burnout stage, and back then, we TCB not knowing what they know now. We were the ones that made BACA have “intense Training” on what NOT to do! Lol. The main problem with BACA is its Blessing and Curse! It is Co-Ed. Meaning you have both male and females, boyfriends/girlfriends, husband/wives (like yourselves). I was solo. But the drama that came from this “Co-Ed” set up was insane. The testosterone would build up and a guy who thought he was in an actual MC had to take orders from the woman (officer) who he was smashing behind his other brothers back? Chit like that! All possible Fooked up scenario’s occurred internally! And like you say, we had to keep self checking ourselves that we were NOT an MC, esp a 1%. Luckily, I had made my contacts during BACA and left when I couldn’t take the internal drama anymore. I prospected for a 1% support MC for 2 years and was approached to “Step Up” where I have been for 16 years (16-haha). Anyway, a great “organization” with a great cause. It does have intense incredible drama if left unchecked. I always pitied my BACA President for trying to keep order between the Testosterone/Estrogen filled battles. I can’t believe that any of that has changed much..because it CAN’T…lol. That particular chapter ended up imploding (surprise) but then reformed and they are still going. I do see them at our open events from time to time. But yeah, a lot of commitment, a lot of riding, and a lot of money…but all for a great cause. Funny story…I am very good friends with a judge (now) that was a SA back then we all worked with. Kinda weird he knows what I do now, and I know what he does but we never talk about any of that. Thank God I have never had go before him for anything! Soon I am to retire from Club life and I am sure he will give a big sigh of relief when I’m done! Good video and you did well “dancing around” what some of the reasons why you left. I completely understand! 😜 ☮ Dingus 1%er

Now you can live personal life and ride and actually have fun!

Always wondered what the "OTSNBN" was -- much respect! Appreciate you both sharing. Semper Fi

You did your time , good to step aside and let someone else have a turn tks to both of you ,

It's amazing no matter how much you give, people want more. Full time jobs and full time volunteering (for a great organization, btw) and completely understandable why you left. Take care of you and little monkey. Keep the videos coming and look forward to more fun.

God bless you both for your sacrifices made for the kids you undoubtedly helped. Selflessness is the defining characteristic of good people. Glad to call you friends.

Much respect for y’all. I can tell it took some serious deep sole searching for y’all to come to this decision. I see this as a continuation of your dedication to kids. Today its your own. So proud to “know” you both. You are an example to follow for sure. In my humble opinion. Hope to have the pleasure of meeting y’all in person someday. Thank you for all you do for the kids, and for all you do for the world of motorcycling. You videos bring much appreciated value to those of us watching. I suspected Mrs Monkey had a high pressure/stressful job, today I learned that is true and that she holds a noble position amongst the top of the noble positions. ❤❤❤ to the Mrs and you Mr Monkey. One last thing, your daughter is lucky to have y’all as parents and humanity will benefit through her for it. Much love and respect, Frank, aka “allswild” 😊

Proud of you! Many will and should realize Family comes first. Not to say your organisation is not Family you have to put the 3 of you first. I am sure your organisation understands and supports your decision because it is best for both of your Families. You both will always support the organization not to be names because of the Great work they do. I hope your life gets better as time goes on but will always be proud of what you both have accomplished in yoyr past and will continue to do in your future. Good Luck and hope your life continues to be Happy.

In my experience it is two step away and wash your hands of it because you can always go back. Glad to hear you close all your books before you walked away

I just looked it up and the Jacksonville Chapter meets literally 2 mins from my house. Im going to check it out at the next meeting.

From a former bother from Las Vegas, thank you to for helping our heros not to feel afraid in the world in which they live. You both made a huge impact on the kids in your area and will undoubtedly be amazing parents!

You're decision, as difficult as it may have been, is very admirable in that you put family first. The children in foster care are in great hands with Mrs. Monkey, no doubt. You 2 rock. Stay safe and god bless Monkeys.

Much respect. My GF has worked in CPS for many years and I def can see how it takes over your life, and the things they see is just carzy.

Why did you feel you couldn’t name the organization (BACA) when doing your videos? I feel not only would you bring attention to the cause but also educate your followers. You should feel very proud of yourselves and I for one applaud you. Bob jones

Thank you both for everything you have done in the organization. I know how y'all feel I belong to guardians of the children Gastonia chapter

You didn’t owe us anything…but glad your hearts wanted to talk about it with us….I’m so glad you both decided to be advocates for kids and I hope you never have to again….

God Love Ya....Family First, Brothers and Sisters Always

When it stops being fun or enjoyable then it’s time to move on.

Forgotten Angels is another great charity for kids aging out of the foster care system. My wife is an outreach Community Healthcare worker or a homeless healthcare plan here on island and I am a former cop and run a program for the National Guard Youth Challenge doing team building. I also have a full time State job so I know where you are coming from.

I really appreciate for all you guys did for all those kids for so many years and for all the sacrifices you guys went through. I think you and your wife should make a podcast about it to encourage other people to help with this cause. I have a nephew who is a psychologist who works with abused kids from different countries coming to United States and know exactly what you are talking about. Again thank you guys, we need more people like you guys.

Hi da Monk and Mrs Monkey. Well as you said things can change, I am just surprised it has happened, but I understand why and respect your joint decision. Thank you for being so open and honest with us.

I went to a few meetings with the intent of learning about baca and wanting to become a member. What i found was that i really do not have the time to commit to them. I still think they are a wonderful organization and try to support them as much as possible. Thank you both for all you have done and continue to do for, not just kids, but everyone you help. Your channel has helped spread fun, happiness, and kindness to many people across the biker community. Thank you for being kind people. Hope to see you in daytona for bike week.

Family should always be first priority

You too are an inspiration to alot of people take care of yourselves

Will you make Forgot Angels any time??

That’s great work that you both do and I completely understand your reasons for stepping away! Good on you both!

Thanks guys, great video!

Hi guys thanks for sharing! See ya soon!

As a retired Navy police and DOD officer I have been involved in too many of these child abuse calls. It takes a lot out of you and you need some me time. Unfortunately you never forget as much as you would want to. Love your content and God bless you and your family

You two have my respect and admiration for how you handled it and made sure the Heroes and your duties were completely taken cared of and/or resolved. My wife & I left shortly after we earned our “tomatoes” and bottom rockers for the secondary reasons you left. We absolutely loved the organization and the majority of the people but there were some patches that treated us like we were scum and not worth anything even though we gave and would give more of every ounce of our soul to empower those kids during their darkest times. At the end of the day, we left because we wanted to protect our family from the chauvinistic, hateful and down right mean spirited treatment we received on the L1’s. It’s amazing how some patches acted when they knew no one was watching versus when they thought they had the spotlight and their ego & self worth overshadowed the mission. We appreciate you two and we love your channel and it’s content. Keep up the great work and know you have our utmost respect and support. God Bless 🙏❤️
