Tell me again, How hard your life is?

A kind-hearted always feel sorry for the less fortunate. We are ready to give the last penny out of our pockets to give help to the needy and leave it as a random act of kindness or good deed. But, before we go any further, look closely in this photo, did you notice anything odd aside from the obvious? Well, the answer is a bit long.

 

All of us have our experiences around children, particularly our nieces, nephews, younger brothers & sisters, daughters & sons and so on. Remember how often they slept at the age of 1-4 years? Probably, an hour or two, maximum three (not consecutive) afternoon nap. In this photo, did you ever wonder children of this age should be wandering around playing rather than sleeping?

 

Unfortunately, the answer is - this is a gang operated scam. Money is collected by the workers (beggars) and will be given to their master or whoever controls them in the area. The master(s) collects all the earnings at the end of the day while, the workers only gets just a fraction of what they had earned.

 

It is quite unusual that these children can remain still for hours or almost the entire day. The fact is, that they had been drugged or been taking drugs to keep them dosed out. Sadly, children's bodies are not able to cope with such doses. The most painful part is that these children often die, in most cases they die during the "working day".

Imaginatively, the older brother must hold his younger brother/companion (related or not) in his keeps until the evening. These are the rules, and any passer-by will toss some money into the cup, believing in the morality despite the real story behind it.
