Hi! Unfortunately, that's how things happen. And not only this way, but mothers take their breastfeeding child in the street and beg with with the child in their arms. Very heartbrokening... Indeed a better way of somewhat helping is giving them food instead of money. But that will not stop the adults behind it to send the kids back in the streets. Somehow a social campaign or awareness to be created to educate people about such things, as many are still unaware about the tactics that are being used to collect money from people. A system must be created in order to deem sending this children in a street, obsolete. Maybe with that piece of food, hand-over to the child a little picture telling a story that will create some impact in his little mind. A picture can speak 1000 words; and together with the kind act of offering food it may create a small question mark in the child's mind. Worth a try..
