In a disturbing incident in Rivers State, a passerby confronted an able-bodied woman who was using children to beg for alms. This troubling sight unfolded in a busy street, prompting a concerned citizen to address the situation.
The passerby’s action is a stark reminder of the need to protect vulnerable children from exploitation. As some Instagram users reiterate that most of these children are gotten from orphanage homes just for the purpose of using them to beg.
Begging with children not only endangers their well-being but also perpetuates a cycle of poverty. It’s essential that local authorities and community organizations work together to provide support and resources to families facing economic hardship, rather than resorting to such desperate measures.
