 I,
        Virginia K. Sourlis, certify that:
 
 1.  I
        have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-KSB of For the Children, Inc.;
 
 2.  Based
        on my knowledge, this annual report does not contain any untrue statement
        of a
        material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
        made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made,
        not
        misleading with respect to the period covered by this annual
        report;
 
 3.  Based
        on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information
        included in this annual report, fairly present in all material respects the
        financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the small business
        issuer as of, and for, the periods present in this annual report;
 
 4.  I
        am responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
        procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for
        the
        registrant and I have:
 
 (a)  designed
        such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls
        and
        procedures to be designed under my supervision, to ensure that material
        information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries,
        is made known to me by others within those entities, particularly during
        the
        period in which this annual report is being prepared;
 
 (b)  designed
        such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control
        over financial reporting to be designed under my supervision, to provide
        reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
        the
        preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
        generally accepted accounting principals;
  (c)  evaluated
        the effectiveness of the small business issuer’s disclosure controls and
        procedures and presented in this annual report my conclusions about the
        effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of
        the
        period covered by this annual report based on such evaluation;
 
 (d)  disclosed
        in this annual report any change in the registrant’s internal control over
        financing reporting that occurred during the registrant’s most recent fiscal
        quarter (the registrant’s fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report)
        that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
        the
        registrant’s internal control over financial reporting; and
 
 5.  I
        have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation of internal control over
        financial reporting, to the registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of the
        registrant’s board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent
        functions):
 
 (a)  all
        significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation
        of
        internal control over financial reporting which are reasonable likely to
        adversely affect the registrant’s ability to record, process, summarize and
        report financial information; and
 
 (b)  any
        fraud, whether or not material, that involved management or other employees
        who
        have a significant role in the registrant’s internal control over financial
        reporting.
