Our Mission – New Rooms for Child Abuse Victims

Welcome to Room Redux, where healing and transformation go hand in hand. We are compassionately dedicated to encouraging healing and improving the lives of children who have faced abuse, through Room Transformation. Often, abuse occurs in a child’s own room. This can link the room to feelings of fear and aversion, causing the child to avoid it entirely. We provide new rooms for child abuse victims where they can feel comfortable and safe!

Since the beginning, one main goal of Room Redux has been to have the ability to transform the rooms and lives of children everywhere who have been victimized. With Chapters opening up across America, we get closer to reaching the goal of new rooms for child abuse victims everywhere.

The hard work and success of the 97th Judicial District Office related to Texas Criminal Code 43,26; child pornography creates stricter punishment ranges for offenders who possess child pornography. It allows for first-time offenders to be prosecuted based on the number of images they may be found in possession of.  This is the first update in more than 30 years to the Texas Criminal Code covering this law.

We exist as a body of Bikers to empower children to not feel afraid of the world in which they live.

We work in conjunction with local and state officials who are already in place to protect children. We desire to send a clear message to all involved with the abused child that this child is part of our organization, and that we are prepared to lend our physical and emotional support to them by affiliation, and our physical presence. We stand at the ready to shield these children from further abuse. We do not condone the use of violence or physical force in any manner, however, if circumstances arise such that we are the only obstacle preventing a child from further abuse, we stand ready to be that obstacle.

Child exploitation has become a pandemic, impacting children’s lives throughout the United States and the world.

Cases have steadily increased as more and more children become dependent on electronic devices, yet funding, policy, and solutions have not changed to meet this increase.

We cannot arrest our way out of this. We must unite and fight for our frontline heroes, uniting to protect our children from abuse.
