Phil Mick was bullied so much that he considered suicide. Naturally, the prospect of going to the first day at his Indiana middle school was daunting.
“They called me fat. Sometimes kids would come up and kick me in the wrong areas,” Phil told WPTA 21.
Phil’s mom, Tammy Mick, was so worried that she shared about her 11-year-old’s troubles with Brent Warfield of KDZ Motorcycle Sales & Service. To her surprise, Warfield stepped in to help right away.
His idea would give any bully a reason to think twice before maligning Phil Mick.
Warfield posted a message on the Facebook page for United Motorcycle Enthusiasts, a biker group he directs. He asked for a few fellow bikers to come with him and accompany Phil to middle school on his first day.
Before long, more than 50 bikers responded, some comitting to come from more than an hour away.
The huge group of bikers met up with Phil and his mom for breakfast before the big day at school
on Aug. 1.
