A crowd in the neighborhood

So this evening, about 10 pm we rolled into one of the neighborhoods. We had spent the evening delivering kids to events, doing paperwork, a visitation and then back to picking up kids. We did all of this while we had a little two year old Liberian girl with us. Her mom was at work and her babysitter was at youth group so we had her with us.Finally at 10pm we had delivered all of the children and were driving into one of the neighborhoods to finish what we hoped to be the last two peices of paperwork for the evening. When we pulled in we saw one of our kids that we know very well...so well that he and one of his friends had been with us for the afternoon and eaten dinner with us. So he sees us and dumps his arms up in the air, elbows bent, hands interlaced at the back of his head, moving them nervously back and forth. The minute I saw him I knew something was wrong and then I heard Robert say "What is that? What are they up to?"Finally I noticed the group of young men that were clumped together talking and waving their arms and hands. At the same time we noticed them, they noticed us and began to disband. Our friend and one of the other boys came to us. Robert asked them what was going on? The older boy said "Oh, we were just declaring war on little A." Robert with a startled sound in his voice asked what that meant. The young man then got hedgy but said that the young man had done something very bad, and let me promise you it was bad. So we tried to figure out exactly what that met. We are watching to see what will go on. This neighborhood has had a lot of trouble lately and the young man mainly responsible for the trouble is being punished, however we are worried. We will watch...If you are a prayer- please pray for this. Pray that these men/boys will learn their lesson and become upstanding, respectful American citizens. Blessings!
