It just makes it all the more frustrating when doing good for the time being can ultimately harm these children in the long run. It's hard to just accept that.

True, we forget too often how lucky we are,just because we had the chance to be born in the right side of the planet. But handling with poverty is not always easy. I saw little boys beating each other for money or other presents given by tourists. And very often children are exploited in a shameful way and giving them money paradoxically might be a way to keep them exploited... Very touching post.

I've even heard kidnappers who purposely disable the children, ie chopping off limbs, in order to make them look more pitiful. It breaks my heart and infuriates me at the same time.

In China...begging and peddling by children is a HUGE industry. I only give to cripples and sometimes little children. I don't deceive myself in to thinking that any of it's going to actually go to the child because it won't. In the cities, alot of the kids are kidnapped/abducted and forced in to this kind of living. The only reason i give to those kids is because sometimes, if they don't get enough, their handlers won't even feed them or will beat them.
