I talked to a dear friend today who lives in New Jersey and works on a bus at a school for kids with behavior problems. She is a devout Catholic and has had the same children for three years now. Her job is to sit on the bus to and from school because these kids are behavioral problems. Most have oppositional defiant disorder. It is a very stressful job.

She has asked me to pray for her kids on this bus. The school is failing in helping these kids. Their parents are failing them as well. One kid, named Tyler, can mouth off profanity for 45 minutes and talks about sex. He is only 9 yr. old. I asked my friend, why these kids are not better, for every year they get worse. She agreed that they are worse and unloved. She fears for her life at times for these kids are very violent and talk about guns alot. These will be the criminal of the future since they are being treated for their mental illness. She told me that when a kid acts up in school or to a teacher, they have this man that looks like a body builder come in and grab the kid and put a straight jacket in a room all by themselves. This is not going to help them. They do not get counseling at the school or by their parents.

I know three names and these kids have no one to teach them that Jesus loves them. There own family is afraid of them. Some are young enough to still get help. Let us pray for these kids and all kids in this situation. The names I have are Johnny, Tyler and Jolisa. Jolisa is a teen and very dangerous already.
 
prayer for your friend and all the children she works with.

May Sts John Bosco (patron of youth workers) Dominic Savio (patron of juvenile delinquents, if that’s not too strong a term) and Maria Goretti (patroness of youth) intercede for her and for them.
 
Father, please come to the aid of this woman. Enter the hearts of these children. Let them have a clear vision and insight of you Lord. Bring your light into their lives. Give them hope of a better future. Give them someone who loves them. I ask this in Jesus name… AMEN
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.

Amen.
 
Prayers for these children, and prayers for your friend, that she will be safe in the work she does for these young people.
 
Will keep Johnny, Tyler and Jolisa in prayer with all your intentions
 
I will say the chaplet of divine mercy for these poor unfortunate children,wonder how this goes on in the U.S.Where are their protectors?,this makes me angry and so sad!!!May GOD have mercy on the professionals that care for them.Praying also for the HOLY SPIRIT to enlighten them.
 
😦 God bless the children and all those who work with them/love them…Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with Thee. Blessed art Thou amongst women, and blessed is the Fruit of Thy Womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
 
Thank you all for your prayers. I know I was surprised that this goes on in America. It is very sad for these kids really need help. There parents don’t do it and the “special” school they are in is failing them as well. I told my friend that God has placed her with his unfortunate kids so that she could show them His love. She can’t mention God, but if the kids do, she can talk about it. So far no kids mention God or anything related to Him, like religion.

My friend needs lots of prayers to deal with all these angry kids. They can be dangerous at times also. She is now having trouble with the 80 yr. old bus driver for she is talking and yelling at the kids and it is not her job. She asked for a different bus route and is very angry to be “stuck” with the same kids again. The bus driver is just burned out. All these kids have some sort of mental illness or behavior problem.

My friend is up in age too, I think she is in he late 50’s and has to ask God for prayers to be patient all the time. Her name is Janet and can sure use prayers. Thanks again for your love and prayers for these kids and my friend.
 
Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen
