Seven-year-old Ashley Wastakiewicz is a first grader who has been bullied by an 11-year-old boy who lives down the street from her. Not only did this bully call her horrible names, he also has become physically aggressive with the young girl. He would push and pull her off of her bike and torment her at every chance that he had. One incident even sent her to the hospital. The boy has assault and battery charges brought up against him by the police, but the boy and his family deny any and all accusations that he is bullying this girl.
"She has felt that nobody loves her, nobody cares about her. She feels alone," said Ashley’s mom, Christine. "She is afraid to come outside to play. She has been cooped up most of the summer because she is afraid to come out and play with the fear of being bullied."

Ashley's mother was fed up. She simply could not take seeing her little girl being bullied anymore. She took to Facebook and created a page called, "Justice for Ashley," in search of support and advice about her situation. Christine simply hoped to hear from a couple of people who would know what she should do or were willing to help her and her daughter. She would never have imagined who stepped in to help her out.

The members of a local motorcycle club heard about Ashley's issues with her bully. They decided to gather together to show their support for the little girl. "We got word from other brothers at other clubs and we all met," motorcycle enthusiast James Dingmon from American Veterans Motorcycle Club of Jackson, said. "I don’t believe in bullying. Nobody should be bullied. We wanted a show of force, that she is loved and she’s got people out here that care for her."
Another biker, John Spencer, wanted to help. He wrote, "We made a difference tonight and helped in the widespread fight against bullying, particularly with a very serious case with a wonderful little 7 year old girl named Ashley, whom has (had) a terrible bully in her neighborhood for quite some time now and has been terrified to play outside her own home after being sent to the E.R. and continuously threatened and hurt."

The bikers met up with Ashley and her mom at a nearby playground to hear Ashley tell her story. The whole group of bikers escorted Ashley to her home. Dozens of Harley Davidson bikes lined the road in front of her home. The group even rode to the bully's home to let him know that they had Ashley's back.
Ashley says that she is not scared anymore. The bikers might seem to be a bit intimidating, but their hearts are big and their personalities are kind.
