My grandchildren go to Birney Elementary and the school is gated and locked at all times until school is out at 3:30 pm. This is a scary situation and I pray that they find the child safe.

Why is the child out in front of the school by themselves anyways?

Prayers for this child that no harm will come to him/her and that God will watch over, protect guide and bless this family for a safe return home.
